However, rooms with humidity over 70 %, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not expose the server to any temperatures over +30 °C or under +10 °C. Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight. Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip hazards. When you save data to your server`s hard disks or to a floppy disk, they are stored as magnetic information on the media. Make sure that they are not damaged by magnetic or electromagnetic fields. Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices should be placed on the same surface as the server. This is especially important for impact printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk. ATTENTION In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall outlet. ATTENTION To ensure stability, the floor stands must be turned outwards.

CAUTION Failure to use an ATX12V power supply or not connecting the 12 V (2 × 2) power connector to the mainboard may result in damage to the board and/or power supply. Main Memory The mainboard supports dual or single channel memory configurations defined in Table 4. 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2 533/667 MHz DIMMs can be installed. NOTE When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue slots (DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2). Use only identical DDR2 DIMM pairs for Dual channel configurations. Table 4. Recommended memory configurations Mode Single-channel Dual-channel* DIMM_A1 (blue) Installed Installed Installed DIMM_A2 (black) ­ ­ Installed DIMM_B1 (blue) ­ Installed Installed DIMM_B2 (black) ­ ­ Installed * Use only identical DDR2 DIMM pairs. NOTE System resources (such as PCI and PCI Express) require physical memory address locations that reduce available memory addresses above 3 GB. As a result of this, less than the installed memory may be available to the operating system and applications if more than 3 GB of memory are installed in the system. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support NOTE Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device. The board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports via ICH6-R; four ports routed to the back panel and four routed to two internal USB 2.0 headers. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds. USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0. MAXDATA PLATINUM 50 I M1 9 Enhanced IDE Interface The ICH7R's IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip drives inside the computer. The interface supports: · · · · · Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives) ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives) Older PIO Mode devices Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols Laser Servo (LS-120) drives Serial ATA The board supports four Serial ATA channels via the ICH7R, connecting one device per channel in either a RAID or non-RAID configuration. 10 Board Features 3 Installing and Replacing Board Components Before You Begin WARNING The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment. Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this chapter.
