H8DA6+/I+(-F) Serverboard User’s Manual 1-3 Chipset Overview The H8DA6+/I+(-F) motherboard is based on the AMD SR5690/SP5100 chipset. This chipset functions as a Media and Communications Processor (MCP). Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into AMD Opteron processors. AMD SR5690/SP5100 Processor The AMD SR5690 is a single-chip, high-performance HyperTransport peripheral controller.
Chapter 1: Introduction CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat/Fan Fail warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. When this temperature is exceeded or when a fan failure occurs, the Overheat/Fan Fail warning LED is triggered. Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core The 5-phase-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 80A and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 0.
H8DA6+/I+(-F) Serverboard User’s Manual Main Switch Override Mechanism The power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user depresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-7 Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O Winbond® BMC chip includes a floppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic.

Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. Precautions • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. • Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
H8DA6+/I+(-F) Serverboard User's Manual 2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the processor. ! Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Installation Procedure Follow the procedures as listed below to install the serverboard into a chassis. 1. Install the processor(s) and the heatsink(s). 2. Install the serverboard in the chassis. 3. Install the memory and add-on cards. 4.
Chapter 2: Installation 3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket. 4. With the CPU inserted into the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that it is properly installed and flush with the socket.
H8DA6+/I+(-F) Serverboard User's Manual 2-3 Mounting the Motherboard into a Chassis All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Chapter 2: Installation 2-4 Installing Memory Installing Memory 1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly (see Figure 2-1). 2. Install to slots CPU1/DIMM1A and CPU1/DIMM1B first, then to CPU1/ DIMM2A and CPU1/DIMM2B, etc. Always install in pairs and in the numerical order of the DIMM slots. See support information below. 3. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
