SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 4.4.2 Socket LGA771 CPU Installation WARNING: CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly installed. The LGA771 socket is shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1: Intel LGA771 Socket To install the CPU, follow the steps below. WARNING: DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU.
PAGE 60
SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover Step 2: Open the socket. Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and slightly outward to clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever, then open the load plate. See Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3: CPU Socket Load Plate Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air.
PAGE 61
SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the CPU socket. Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches on the CPU. Carefully match the two orientation notches on the CPU with the socket alignment keys. Step 7: Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU pins are properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket smoothly. See Figure 4-4.

SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 4.4.4 DIMM Installation WARNING: To be able to turn on the SPCIE-5100DX, either the CHA_DIMM1 or the CHB_DIMM1 socket must install with an ECC Registered DDR2 DIMM. To install a second DIMM, install in the socket that is at the same channel with the first DIMM. For example, the first DIMM is installed in CHA_DIMM1 then the second DIMM should be installed in the CHA_DIMM2. The DIMM socket locations are shown below.
PAGE 66
SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card Figure 4-10: Installing a DIMM Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. The DIMM socket has two handles that secure the DIMM into the socket. Before the DIMM can be inserted into the socket, the handles must be opened. See Figure 4-10. Step 2: Align the DIMM with the socket. The DIMM must be oriented in such a way that the notch in the middle of the DIMM must be aligned with the plastic bridge in the socket. See Figure 4-10. Step 3: Insert the DIMM.

SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 4.5 Jumper Settings NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with Jumper the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.

SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card E.1 Introduction The SATA disks can be configured in a RAID array. RAID array setup is described in Chapter 7. The RAID array can be in one of the following configurations or levels: RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 10 RAID 5 These levels are described below: E.1.1 RAID 0 or Disk Striping RAID 0 is a disk striping method. Data is stripped across two or more disks. RAID 0 does not provide any redundant storage. When one of the drives fails, the data cannot be restored.
PAGE 180
SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card E.1.4 RAID 5 RAID 5 uses distributed parity blocks on different drives to enable the system to rebuild lost data if one of the disks crashes. The parity block is a binary representation of that data stored on the equivalent sectors of the other disks in the array. If one of the disks crashes then the disk can be rebuilt using binary techniques.
