Chapter 2: Hardware installation

2.1 Install Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 1: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard

Note

» Remove pin cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the pin cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won't be damaged.
» The motherboard might equip with two different types of pin cap. Please refer below instruction to remove the pin cap.

Step 2: Step 2: Open ILM Lever and then load plate using finger tab.

Step 3: Align and seat processor package on socket.

Step 4: Close the load plate.

Step 5: Remove and save cover.

Step 6: Close ILM Lever and latch

Note

» Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1700 socket.

» The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU.

2.2 Install a Heatsink

Step 1: Place the CPU fan assembly on top of the installed CPU and make sure that the four fasteners match the motherboard holes. Orient the assembly and make the fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector.

Step 2: Press down two fasteners at one time in a diagonal sequence to secure the CPU fan assembly in place. As each fastener locks into position a click should be heard.

Note

» Apply the thermal interface material on the CPU before heatsink installation, if necessary.
» Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector.
» For proper installation, please kindly refer to the installation manual of your CPU heatsink.

4.4 Troubleshooting

Probable Solution
1. There is no power in the system. Power LED does not shine; the fan of the power supply does not work2. Indicator light on keyboard does not shine.	1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.2. Replace cable.3. Contact technical support.
System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drives are running.	Using even pressure on both ends of the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.
System does not boot from a hard disk drive, but can be booted from optical drive.	1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup.2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.
System only boots from an optical drive. Hard disks can be read, applications can be used, but system fails to boot from a hard disk.	1. Back up data and applications files.2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.
Screen message shows “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”	Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.
System cannot boot after user installs a second hard drive.	1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.

CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again.

In this case, please double check:

1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.

1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wait for seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

Or you can:

1. Clear the CMOS data. (See "Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1" section)
2. Wait for seconds.
3. Power on the system again.

4.5 Intel® Optane™ Technology (powered by 3D XPoint memory)

With Intel® Optane™ technology you can unleash the power of your processor instead of it working at a fraction of its power. Eliminating that bottleneck requires better storage memory that is fast, inexpensive, and non-volatile. Intel® Optane technology has the potential to revolutionize big data, high-performance computing, virtualization, storage, cloud, gaming, and many other applications.

Features and Benefits :

• Massive in-memory data base
- Fast system recovery
- Low latency
• High endurance

Requirement for Intel® Optane Introduction :

• Intel® Optane Memory or Storage.
• Intel® 12th Gen core CPU.
  • Install Intel® Optane Memory or Storage in the port that supports Intel® Optane technology. (Reference Page 4 for detail)
• Install Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver and follow the instructions to enable Intel® Optane Technology.
  • In some cases, Intel Optane Technology will not be available if UEFI OS is not installed.
