Chapter1 Overview

Overview

Thank you for choosing this high performance motherboard. This is a dual AMD Opteron

micro-Socket 940 motherboard (M/B) based on the EATX form factor and features the

AMD® HyperTransport™ I/O Hub (8111) AMD HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel chipset

(8131) and the AMD® AGP Tunnel (8151) chipset. The board features a Hyper Transport

bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s.

For memory options, there are eight (8) sockets to support up to 16 GB of memory using

184-pin Registered PC2700/2100 ECC DDR memory modules.

Flexibility and expandability are provided by two 32-bit/33Mhz PCI slots, one

64-bit/66MHz PCI slot, two PCI-X slots and an AGP Pro/ 8X slot. This selection of PCI

slots permits the use of numerous add-on cards and Peer PCI transaction support provides

increased system performance.

Other features include an onboard Silicon Image® Serial ATA interfaces, a 3COM®

Gigabit Ethernet controller, an onboard RealTek® ALC-655™ audio chip, and USB 2.0

to provide high system capabilities that meet a wide range of demanding applications.

Before we begin the manual, we would like to go over some precautions to insure the

safety of both the Mainboard and the technician/operator. Please read the General Safety,

ESD, and Operating Precautions in their entirety before beginning.

________________________________________________________________________

Overview 1-1

DK8XMotherboard

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Keep the area around the Server clean and free of clutter.

Servers weigh a lot. They can average about 50 lbs. (~22.68 kg)

When lifting the system, two people should lift slowly from opposite ends with their

feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with

your legs.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed

away from the system or on a table so that they won¡¦t accidentally be stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose items such as neckties and

unbuttoned shirt sleeves. They can come into contact with electrical circuits or get

pulled into a cooling fan.

Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

conductors and can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with

printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

ESD PRECAUTIONS

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges

coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this

difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The

following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is

made to protect your equipment from ESD:

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until

ready for use.

1-2 Overview

Chapter1 Overview

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the

motherboard.

After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to

the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been

made.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Care must be taken to insure that the chassis cover is in place when the server is

operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the server can occur if

this practice is not strictly followed.

GETTING HELP

If a problem arises with yours system during Installation or Operation, you should first

ask your dealer for help as they have most likely configured your system. They generally

have the best grasp of your issues and the fastest response for your symptoms. If your

dealer is near your location, it is recommended that you first bring your system to them to

have it serviced instead of attempting to solve the problem yourself.

If those options don't work for you, IWILL also provides some helpful resources to help

you.

1. Visit IWILL® website at www.iwill.net and navigate to this product’s page which

contain links to product updates such as Jumper settings or BIOS updates.

2. The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sections in the IWILL website are often

helpful since other users often have the same questions.

3. Email us at: [email protected] and we will try to answer your questions within 5

business days.
