is motherboard supports Wake from on Board LAN. To use this function, please make
sure that the “Wake on Magic Packet from power o state” is enabled in Device Manager
> Intel® Ethernet Connection > Power Management. And the “PCI Devices Power On” is
enabled in UEFI SETUP UTILITY > Advanced > ACPI Conguration. Aer that, onboard

1.3 Unique Features
ASRock Rack Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. is con-
venient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operat-
ing systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. With this utility, you can press the <F6>
key during the POST or the <F2> key to enter into the BIOS setup menu to access
ASRock Rack Instant Flash. Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS le to your
USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a
few clicks without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash
utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12
le system.

Chapter 2 Installation
is is a SSI EEB form factor (12” x 13”, 30.5 cm x 33.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install
the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard
ts into it.
EP2C622D16NM is a dual socket motherboard that supports Intel® Xeon® Scalable
Processors. Please install a primary processor (BootStrap Processor) into “CPU1” socket
and then install a non-Primary Processor (Application Processors) into “CPU2” socket.
*For a single CPU, please install it into “CPU1” socket (framed by a square).
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s components due to static electricity, NEVER
place your motherboard 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 compo-
nents.
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 motherboard to the chassis,
please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure
to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched o 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.

English
2.3 Installing the CPU and Heatsink
1. Before you insert the CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the socket,
if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not force to
insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be
seriously damaged.
2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
