When installing, operating, or performing maintenance on this equipment, the following

safety precautions should always be observed in order to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock, and personal injury.

Read and understand all instructions.

• Observe warnings and instructions marked on the product.

• For proper mounting instructions, please consult the User’s Manual provided with this

product.

• Do NOT place this product on an unstable cart, stand, table or uneven surface that

might cause the product to fall and sustain serious damage.

• Only install the equipment identified in the User’s Manual. Use of other equipment

could cause improper connection of circuitry and may result in re or personal injury.

• This product should only be operated with the type of power source indicated on the

marked label. If you are uncertain about which type of power supply is used in your

area, consult your dealer or local Power Company.

• Disconnect the power supply module before removing power from the system.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Do not use this product near a water source, such as a faucet.

• Never spill liquids of any kind on this product.

• Never shove objects of any kind into this product’s open slots, as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts and could result in re or electric shock.

• Do not block or cover slots and openings in this unit, as they were made for ventilation

and prevent this unit from overheating. Do not place this product in a built-in

installation unless proper ventilation is available.

• Do not disassemble this product. This product should only be taken apart by trained

personnel. Opening or removing covers and circuit boards may expose you to electric

shock or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can also cause electric shock when the

unit is subsequently used.

• Risk of explosion is possible if battery is replaced with an incompatible type. Dispose

of used batteries accordingly.

• This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug with a third

(grounding) pin. As a safety feature, this plug is intended to t only into a grounding

type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your

electrician to replace the outlet. Do not remove the grounding type plug or use a

3-Prong To 2-Prong Adapter to circumvent the safety feature; doing so may result in

electric shock and/or damage to this product.

Safety Instructions

Thank you for selecting and purchasing the Virgo Serverboard.

This user's manual is provided for professional technicians to perform easy hardware

setup, basic system congurations, and quick software startup. This document pellucidly

presents a brief overview of the product design, device installation, and rmware settings

for the Virgo motherboard. For the latest version of this user's manual, please refer to the

AIC website: http://www.aicipc.com/en/productdetail/20855.

Chapter 1 Product Features

This chapter delivers the overall layout of the product, including the fundamental

components on the motherboard, design specications, and noteworthy features. Virgo is

an ideal server grade motherboard that is specically designed to accommodate diverse

enterprises for managing heavy workloads, databases, nearline applications, and cloud

deployments. This product supports the Intel®Xeon®Scalable Processors and Socket

P0 (LGA-3647) with a memory support 12 DDR4 2400/2666 MHz accross 6 channels per

CPU.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup

This chapter displays an easy installation guide for assembling the CPU(Central

Processing Unit) and memory chip. Utmost caution for proceeding to set up the hardware

is highly advised. The components on the motherboard are highly fragile and vulnerable

to exterior influence. Do not attempt to endanger the device by placing the device in a

potentially unstable or hazardous surroundings, including positioning the device on an

uneven grounds or humid environments.

Chapter 3 Motherboard Settings

This chapter elaborates the overall layout of the server motherboard, including

multifarious connectors, jumpers, and LED descriptions. These descriptions assist users

to congure different settings and functions of the motherboard, as well as to conrm the

location of each connector and jumper.

Chapter 4 BIOS Conguration Settings

This chapter introduces the key features of BIOS, including the descriptions and option

keys for diverse functions. These details provide users to effortlessly navigate and

congure the input/output devices.

Chapter 5 BMC Conguration Settings

This chapter illustrates the diverse functions of IPMI BMC, including the details on logging

into the web page and assorted denitions. These descriptions are helpful in conguring

various functions through Web GUI without entering the BIOS setup. For more information

of BMC congurations, please refer to IPMI BMC (Aspeed2500) User's Manual for a more

detailed description.
