Mainboard D1691
Your mainboard is available in different configuration levels. Depending on the configuration chosen,
some of the hardware components described may not be available on your mainboard.
You have purchased one of the most powerful Intel Xeon®-based workstation solutions in a standard
SSI EEB v3.5 form factor.
Based on the Intel E7525 chipset, the D1691 features some state-of-the-art technologies such as
dual/single 800 MHz FSB Xeon® processor support, multiple PCI-Express buses, dual channel
DDR-II memory design, onboard PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet port, Serial-ATA IDE ports, and
multiple USB2.0 (Universal Serial Bus) ports.
By doubling the capability of existing AGP8x designs with transfer rates of 4.0 Gigabytes per second
in each direction over a x16 PCI Express lane for graphics controllers, the onboard x16 PCI-Express
slot supports a high performance graphics infrastructure for high-end gaming or multimedia.

Important notes
With the mainboard installed you must open the system to access the mainboard. How to dismantle
and reassemble the system is described in the operating manual accompanying the system.
Connecting cables for peripherals must be adequately shielded to avoid interference.
!
Observe the safety notes in the operating manual of your system.
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion.
Components can become very hot during operation. Ensure you do not touch components
when making extensions to the mainboard. There is a danger of burns!
The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements of the EEC directive
89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility".
Compliance was tested in a typical PC configuration.
When installing the board, refer to the specific installation information in the manual for
the receiving device.
i
The warranty is invalidated if the system is damaged during the installation or replacement
of expansions. Information on which expansions you can use is available from your sales
outlet or the customer service centre.
Information about boards
To prevent damage to the mainboard, the components and conductors on it, please take great care
when you insert or remove boards. Take great care to ensure that extension boards are slotted in
straight, without damaging components or conductors on the mainboard, or any other components,
for example EMI spring contacts.
Remove the plug from the mains outlet so that system and mainboard are totally disconnected from
the mains voltage.
Be careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when you replace the
mainboard or components on it, for example memory modules or processors.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all circumstances,
observe the following:
●You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded object)
before working.
●The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing
boards containing ESDs.
●Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
●Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
