Chapter 1: Introduction 1-2 Chipset Overview The H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 serverboard is based on the nVidia MCP55 Pro/NEC uPD720400 chipset. The nVidia MCP55 Pro functions as Media and Communications Processor (MCP) and the NEC chip as a PCI-X Tunnel. Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into the AMD Opteron processors. MCP55 Pro Media and Communications Processor The MCP55 Pro is a single-chip, high-performance HyperTransport peripheral controller.
H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 User’s Manual 1-3 PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the H8DMR-82/H8DMRi2. The serverboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors for two CPU cores, Hyper Transport (1.2V), memory banks (1.8V), chipset (1.5V) The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-4 Power Configuration Settings This section describes the features of your serverboard that deal with power and power settings. Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.
H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 User’s Manual 1-5 Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. A 2 amp current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recommended.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-6 Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include 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. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives.

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.
H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 User's Manual 2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces- ! sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Installing the CPU Backplates Two CPU backplates (BKT-0011L) have been preinstalled to the serverboard to prevent the CPU area of the serverboard from bending and to provide a base for attaching the heatsink retention modules.
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.
H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 User's Manual Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules Two heatsink retention modules (BKT-0012L) and four screws are included in the retail box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the heatsinks to the CPUs. To install, align the module with the standoffs of the preinstalled CPU backplate and with the four feet on the module contacting the serverboard. Secure the retention module to the backplate with two of the screws provided. See Figure 2-1.
Chapter 2: Installation 2-3 Mounting the Serverboard into a Chassis All serverboards and motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the serverboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the serverboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly. 1.
H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 User's Manual Support The H8DMR-82/H8DMR-i2 supports single or dual-channel, registered ECC DDR2667/533/400 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots (see note on previous page and charts on following page). The CPU2 DIMM slots can only be accessed when two CPUs are installed (however, the CPU2 DIMM slots are not required to be populated when two CPUs are installed).
