Latest processor technology

The motherboard comes with two LGA-771 sockets that support Dual-Core and

Quad-Core Intel® Xeon™ processors with 1333/1066/667 MHz Front Side Bus

(FSB). Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores to meet demands

for more powerful processing. Intel® Xeon™ processors incorporate the Intel®

Hyper-Threading Technology and Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T).

The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit operation system, such as 64-bit

Windows® and Linux. See page 2-11 for details.

Intel®

5000V

and Intel® 6321ESB chipset

The Intel®

5000V

Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel® 6321ESB provide

the vital interfaces for the motherboard.

The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel FB-DIMM memory support, and

PCI Express interfaces. The Intel

® 6321ESB is a new generation server class I/O

controller hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3, PCI Express, and PCIX.

Intel® EM64T

The motherboard supports Intel® processors with the Intel® EM64T (Extended

Memory 64 Technology). The Intel

® EM64T feature allows your computer to run on

64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster

and more efcient computing.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST)

The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the

CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency

depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement.

FB-DIMM memory support

This motherboard supports fully buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs), the latest memory

solution that extends memory capacity and provide high-speed, high-density

system memory peformance. FB-DIMMs use Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB)

chips that transmit signals between the memory modules and controllers with

improved signal integrity and reduced errors. See page 2-16 for details.

ASUS DSBV-DX Series 1-3

PCI Express™ interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology

that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial

interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data

in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI or

PCI-X specications. See page 2-27 for details.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technology support

(DSBV-DX/SAS model only)

SAS is the latest storage interface for enterprise-class storage devices. Building

on and improving the parallel SCSI foundation, SAS is the new industry standard

that includes Serial ATA interoperability, and is projected to be the succesor of the

Ultra320 SCSI technology. See page 2-36 for the location of the SAS connectors.

Zero-Channel RAID (ZCR) solution

(DSBV-DX/SAS model only)

The motherboard comes with a ZCR socket for an optional Zero-Channel RAID

card, allowing RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 0+1, and RAID 5

congurations. The ZCR capability provides a cost-effective high-performance and

added reliability.

82563 LAN solution

The motherboard comes with a dual-port 82563EB network connection to provide a

total solution for your networking needs. See page 2-33 for the location of the LAN

ports. See section 2.6 Jumpers for details on Gigabit LAN settings.

Serial ATA II technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through 6321ESB

Serial ATA interfaces. The Serial ATA II specication provides twice the bandwidth

of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new features, including Native

Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm,

and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more exible cables with lower pin count

and reduced voltage requirements. See page 2-35 for details.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specication,

dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB

1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.

See pages 2-33 for details.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the W83793G chip to prevent overheating

and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely

failure detection. The chip monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of

current for critical components. See page 4-29 for details.

Intel® IOAT

Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (IOAT) is an integrated server platform I/O

solution that addresses all segments of the server I/O bottleneck problem using

TCP/IP without requiring any modication of existing or future applications.

Intel® IOAT is a system-wide solution that increases CPU efciency and delivers

data to/from applications faster than current server platforms.

1.4.2 Innovative ASUS features

2.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change

any motherboard settings.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal

object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to

avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic

pad or in the bag that came with the component.

• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply

is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure

to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or

components.

2.2 Motherboard overview

Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to

ensure that the motherboard ts into it.

To optimize the motherboard features, we highly recommend that you install it in an

SSI CEB 1.1 compliant chassis.

2.2.1 Placement direction

When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the

correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis

as indicated in the image below.

2.2.2 Screw holes

Place six (6) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard

to the chassis.

DO NOT overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

Make sure to unplug the chassis power cord before installing or removing

the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage

motherboard components!

2.2.3 Support kits for the motherboard

For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU

heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that you can use as

weight support. Install the CEK springs before installing the motherboard.

Hook

Each CEK spring has four hooks to match the

designated holes around the CPU area.

If your chassis is SSI CEB 1.1 compliant, we recommend that you use the CEK

springs; otherwise, use the support plates kit.

To install the CEK spring:

1. Locate the CPU heatsink holes on

the motherboard.

2. Position the CEK spring underneath the motherboard, then match the CEK

spring hooks to the CPU1 heatsink holes.

2.4 System memory

2.4.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with six fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets to

support 240-pin FB-DIMM modules. An FB-DIMM module has a different pin-out

from DDR2 DIMMs so you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an FB-DIMM socket.

Note that an FB-DIMM socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip that

allows memory-to-CPU connection at gigabit speed.

The gure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets:

2.4.2 Memory congurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB registered ECC

FB-DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules

from the same vendor. Refer to the Qualied Vendors List on the ASUS

web site.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb

chips or double-rank x16 memory modules.

• If you are installing only one memory module, install into the white socket

labeled DIMM_00. Installing into any other socket will not work.

2.4.3 Memory sparing technology

The Intel ® 5000V chipset supports the memory sparing technology. Refer to the

below sections:

Memory Sparing :

At conguration time, a DIMM rank is set aside to replace a defective DIMM rank.

When the error rate for a failing DIMM rank reaches a pre-determined threshold,

the memory sparing function will issue an interrupt and initiate a spare copy. At the

completion of the copy, the failing DIMM rank is disabled and the “spared” DIMM

rank will be used in its place. Refer to 4.4.2 Chipset Conguration and congure

the options of Branch 0 Rank Sparing to enable the memory sparing functions.

And the default BIOS setting is disabled.

• The DIMM rank with the largest size will be assigned as spare rank. Data

can only be copied from a smaller sized rank to a larger sized one.

• A DIMM can contain only one or two ranks. To support sparing function, a

DIMM channel should contain at least two ranks.

• When sparing function is enabled, the usable memory size will reduce then

size of the spare ranks.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper

default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

2.6 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.

You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters

by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery

powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such

as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on

pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Reinstall the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup

to re-enter data.

6. After applying power, the system power LED on the system front panel case

lights up. For systems withATX power supplies, the system LED lights up

when you press the ATX power button. If your monitor complies with “green”

standards or if it has a “power standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up

or switch between orange and green after the system LED turns on.

The system then runs the power-on self tests or POST. While the tests are

running, the BIOS beeps (see BIOS beep codes table below) or additional

messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30

seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed a

power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer

for assistance.
