The server board User's Manual is available for download from the ASRock Rack's ofcial website

at http://www.asrockrack.com.

Take note of the following precautions before you install server board components or change any

server board settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.

2. To avoid damaging the server board’s components due to static electricity, NEVER place your

server board directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or

touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag

that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the server board to the chassis, please do

not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the server board.

1Insert the server board into the chassis.

2Affix the screws clockw ise into the

mounting holes in all of the corners of

the server board.

Do not over-tighten the screws

When the jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is

“Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper

is “Open”.

Remove the CPU socket cover. Align and

install the processor on the carrier.

Carefully ip the carrier assembly. Apply

a thermal paste .

en install the heatsink to the carrier

assembly and make sure the arrow is

located in the correct direction.

Install the heatsink. Tighten the screws in a sequential order (6-1>6-2>6-3>6-4). When

dissembling the heatsink, loosen the screws in reverse order (6-4>6-3>6-2>6-1). Connect

the CPU fan to the CPU FAN connector.

Install the Power Cables

9Install the PCIE Card

1Remove the bracket facing the slot that

you intend to use. Keep the screw for

later use.

2Align the card connector with the

slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.
