Chapter 2: Installation Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. EP2C602 Series are dual socket motherboards that support Intel® Xeon® E5-2400/1400 Series Processors. Please install a primary processor (BootStrap Processor) into “CPU_BSP1” socket and then install a nonPrimary Processor (Application Processors) into “CPU_AP1” socket. *For a single CPU, please install it into “CPU_BSP1” socket (framed by a square). 2.
2.3 CPU Installation Load Lever For the installation of Intel 2011-Pin CPU, please follow the steps below. Load Lever Contact Array Socket Body Load Plate 2011-Pin Socket Overview Before you insert the 2011-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged. Step 1. Open the socket: Step 1-1.
Step 2-2. Locate Pin1 and the two orientation key notches. orientation key notch alignment key Pin1 orientation key notch alignment key 2011-Pin CPU 2011-Pin Socket For proper inserting, please ensure to match the four orientation key notches of the CPU with the four alignment keys of the socket. Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket by using a purely vertical motion. Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket and properly mated to the orient keys. Step 3.
2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink This motherboard is equipped with 2011-Pin socket that supports Intel 2011-Pin CPU. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 2011Pin CPU to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Installing a DIMM Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or system components. Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. notch break notch break The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. Step 3.
2.6 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots) There are 2 PCI Express slots on the motherboard. PCIE slots: PCIE6 and PCIE7 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot) are used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. Please note that PCIE6 is available ONLY when the first CPU (CPU_BSP1) is installed, and PCIE7 is available ONLY when the second CPU (CPU_AP1) is installed. Installing an expansion card Step 1.
2.7 Jumpers Setup The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.
2.8 Onboard Headers and Connectors Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these headers and connectors.

Connect the power switch, reset switch and system status indicator on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins before connecting the cables. PWRBTN (Power Switch): Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off your system using the power switch. RESET (Reset Switch): Connect to the reset switch on the chassis front panel.
A. Front panel SMBus connecting pin (6-pin FPSMB) This header allows you to connect SMBus (System Management Bus) equipment. It can be used for communication between peripheral equipment in the system, which has slower transmission rates, and power management equipment. B. Internet status indicator (2-pin LAN1_LED, LAN2_LED) These two 2-pin headers allow you to use the Gigabit internet indicator cable to connect to the LAN status indicator.
Though this motherboard provides a 4-Pin CPU fan (Quiet Fan) connector, 3-Pin CPU fans can still work successfully even without the fan speed control function. If you plan to connect a 3-Pin CPU fan to the CPU fan connector on this motherboard, please connect it to Pin 1-3. Pin 1-3 Connected 3-Pin Fan Installation ATX Power Connector 24 13 12 1 (24-pin ATXPWR1) Please connect an ATX power supply to this connector.
