User manual ASUS XEON

[. . . ] E338 R Xeon Installation Procedure Central Processing Unit (CPU) This motherboard provides two Single Edge Contact (SEC) Slot 2 connectors for either one or two Intel® XeonTM processors packaged in an SEC cartridge. When only one processor is used, the other Slot 2 connector must be terminated with the provided front side bus termination module. [. . . ] A rubber pad is placed between the metal board and motherboard to provide insulation to prevent shorting. Align the rubber pad over the metal baseboard so that the holes match. Align the ASUS XG-DLS motherboard over the rubber pad and metal baseboard so that the screws match up with the motherboard's screw holes. Place and tighten three captive nuts in the corner locations circled. ASUS XG-DLS Motherboard (Item 2) Rubber Pad (Item 1) Metal Baseboard Step 2: Install Retention Mechanisms Place the retention mechanisms' holes over the screws and the Slot2. Screw four captive nuts onto the screws as circled in the picture on the right. Do not place the other captive nuts yet. (Item 3) Retention Mechanism (Item 4) Captive Nut Installation Guide Xeon Processor 2 Two retention mechanisms installed Four installed captive nuts ASUS Xeon Installation Guide R Xeon Installation Procedure Step 3: Install the Retention Mechanism Brace Bars Place the retention mechanism brace bar into the groove on the top of the retention mechanism as shown in the picture below. These pictures are views of the motherboard and retention mechanism with the ATX connectors away from yourself. (Item 6) Retention Mechanism Brace Bar Retention mechanism with brace bar on top One retention mechanism with brace bar installed Both retention mechanisms with both brace bars installed Step 4: Install Cartridge Lifters Each Xeon processor requires two lifters in order to allow safe removal of the processor. The lifters clamps the cartridge on the two holes at each top corner. (Item 5) CPU Lifter One lifter being inserted over the cartridge from a vertical position Half-colapsed lifter after installation. The lifter should freely rise and lower. Step 5: Install a 2nd Processor or Termination Module The motherboard supports a single or dual processor configuration. When a single processor configuration is desired, a front side bus termination module is required on the free slot 2 connector. (Item 7) Front Side Bus Termination Module Single processor configuration with terminator. Dual processor configuration. ASUS Xeon Installation Guide 3 Installation Guide Xeon Processor R Xeon Installation Procedure Step 6: Install Retention Mechanism Cap The retention mechanism has a cap to keep the processor down while preventing the retention mechanism's walls from spreading. (Item 8) Retention Mechanism Lock Bar The cap must go in from the left side first (toward the ATX connectors). [. . . ] When both lifters are vertical, pull out the processor by holding the lifters. Installation Guide Xeon Processor 4 The processor raised out of the slot 2 connector by the reverse force of the lifters as they are pryed to a vertical position. ASUS Xeon Installation Guide [. . . ]
