2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with two surface mount LGA 4677 sockets designed for the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors Family Series. Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA 4677 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA 4677 socket. • Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent.
2.3.1 Installing the CPU and heatsink The CPU and CPU Carrier fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU and CPU Carrier into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU pins on the socket. Ensure the triangle mark on the CPU is located in the same corner as the CPU socket. 2-8 Intel® recommends using a torque driver with a T-30 bit and a torque value of 8 lbf-in to prolong the longevity of all PEEK nuts after the quality of the load post is corrected.
2.4 System memory The motherboard comes with sixteen (16) DDR 5 (Double Data Rate 5) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots. A DDR5 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4 module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4 memory module to the DDR5 slot.
Memory configurations You may install 8GB 16GB, and 32GB RDIMMs, or 128GB and 256GB RDIMM-3DS into the DIMM sockets. 2-10 • You may install varying memory sizes in the different channels. 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 Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clip outward. 2.

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 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology, with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows OS and Linux). The BIOS options in this chapter may differ slightly from the BIOS shown on your motherboard, but the steps remain the same. 5.1.1 RAID definitions RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks.
5.2 Creating a SATA RAID set in BIOS You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel® C741 chipset. To do this: 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST. Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup. 2. Go to Platform Configuration > PCH Configuration > PCH Storage Configuration > Controller SATA and RST Configuration. 3. Set SATA Mode Selection to [RAID]. 4.
6. When the Strip Size item is selected, press to select strip size for the RAID array (for RAID 0, 10 and 5 only), and then press . The available strip size values range from 4 KB to 128 KB. The following are typical values: - RAID 0: 128 KB - RAID 10: 64 KB - RAID 5: 64 KB We recommend a lower strip size for server systems, and a higher strip size for multimedia computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing. 7.
9. After the RAID set has been created, you will be directed back to the Intel® VROC SATA controller menu and the newly created RAID volume should appear under the RAID Volumes item. 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: 1. From the Intel® VROC SATA controller menu, select the RAID volume you want to delete. 2. Select the Delete item. 3.
