Chapter 2: Hardware Setup Hardware Setup This chapter lists the hardware setup procedures that you have to perform when installing system components. It includes description of the jumpers and connectors on the motherboard.
2.1 Chassis cover 2.1.1 Removing the side cover • Ensure that you unplug the power cord before removing the side cover. • Take extra care when removing the side cover. Keep your fingers from components inside the chassis that can cause injury, such as the CPU fan, rear fan, and other sharp-edged parts. • The images of the system shown in this section are for reference purposes only and may not exactly match the model you purchase. To remove the side cover: 1.
3. Slightly pull the side cover toward the rear just enough to detach it from the chassis. 4. Remove the cover and set it aside.
2.2 CPU installation The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1200 socket for Intel® Xeon® E-2300 processor (up to 95W) and Intel® Pentium™ processors. Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load lever is on your right. Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1200 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA1200 socket. 2-4 • Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load lever is on your right. 1. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the right (B) until it is released from the retention tab. Load lever Do not remove the PnP cap yet from the CPU socket. Doing so may bend the pins of the socket. Retention tab 2. Lift the load lever until the load plate is completely lifted. Load plate 3.
4. Close the load plate (A), ensuring that the front edge of the load plate slides under the retention lock (B) then push down the load lever (C). Load lever Retention lock 5. Insert the load lever under the retention tab to remove the PnP cap from the CPU socket.
2.3 Cooling system installation Apply the Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink and CPU before you install the heatsink and fan, if necessary.
Installing the CPU heatsink in rack The Intel® LGA1200 processor requires a specially designed heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. 2-8 • Ensure that you use qualified heatsink assembly only. • Ensure that you have applied the thermal interface material to the top of the CPU before installing the heatsink and fan. 1. Peel off the sticker on the heatsink metal plate and affix the plate to the back of the motherboard, matching the standoffs to the heatsink screw holes. 2.
2.4 System memory The motherboard comes with four DDR 4 (Double Data Rate 4) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots. A DDR4 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot. Recommended memory configurations You may install unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
Memory configurations You may install 8 GB 16 GB, and 32 GB unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
2.4.1 Installing a DIMM on a single clip DIMM socket 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clip outward. 2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the DIMM slot key on the socket.

Chapter 5: RAID Configuration RAID Configuration This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and configuring RAID sets using the available utilities.
5.1 Setting up RAID The motherboard supports the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows OS and Linux). 5.1.1 RAID definitions RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access and storage.
5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array. To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration: 1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide. 2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard. 3.
5.2 Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU in BIOS This feature allows you to do CPU RAID functions with Intel® CPU RSTe. 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST. 2. Go to the Advanced menu > Intel(R) VROC SATA Controller then press to display the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU menu. Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
5.2.1 Creating a RAID set To create a RAID set: 1. From the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU menu, select Create RAID Volume and press . The following screen appears: 2. When the Name item is selected, enter a name for the RAID set and press . 3. When the RAID Level item is selected, press to select the RAID level to create, and then press . 4. Under Select Disks, press and select X for the disks you want to include in the RAID set. 5.
5.2.2 Deleting a RAID set Be cautious when deleting a RAID set. You will lose all data on the hard disk drives when you delete a RAID set. To delete a RAID set: 5-6 1. From the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU menu, select the RAID volume you want to delete and press . The following screen appears: 2. When the Delete item is selected, press , then select Yes to delete the RAID volume and return to the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU menu, or select No to cancel.
5.3 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise (Windows) The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise allows you to create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set(s) from Serial ATA hard disk drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge. You need to manually install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise utility on a Windows® operating system. Please refer to the installation instructions in Chapter 6.
5.3.1 Creating a RAID set To create a RAID set: 5-8 1. From the utility main menu, select Create Volume and select volume type. 2. Click Next. 3. Enter a name for the RAID set, then select the array disks. 4. Select Volume Size tab, you can drag the bar to decide the volume size. 5. Click Next. • If you do not want to keep the data on one of the selected disks, select NO when prompted. • If you want to Enable volume write-back cache or Initialize volume, click Advanced.
6. Confirm the volume creation, than click Create Volume to continue. This process could take a while depending on the number and size of the disks. You can continue using other applications during this time. 7. Wait until the process is completed, then click OK when prompted. You still need to partition your new volume using Windows Disk Management before adding any data. The RAID set is displayed in the Volumes list and you can change the settings in Volume Properties.
5.3.2 Changing a Volume Type To change the volume type in Volume Properties: 1. Click the SATA array items you want to change in Volumes field. 2. From the Volume Properties field, select Type:RAID 1 Change type. 3. You can change the Name, Select the new volume type, and Select additional disks to include in the new volume if needed. 4. Select the Data stripe size for the RAID array (for RAID 0, 10 and 5 only), and click OK. The available stripe size values range from 4 KB to 128 KB.
5.3.3 Deleting a volume Be cautious when deleting a volume. You will lose all data on the hard disk drives. Before you proceed, ensure that you back up all your important data from your hard drives. To delete a volume: 1. From the utility main menu, select the volume (exp. Volume_0000) in Volumes field you want to delete. 2. Select Delete volume in Volume Properties field. The following screen appears. 3.
5.3.4 Preferences System Preferences Allow you to set to show the notification area icon and show system information, warning, or errors here.
