Mainboard D2568
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
2004/108/EC "Electromagnetic compatibility" and 2006/95/EC “Low voltage directive”.
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.

Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Before you installing a system with this motherboard, make sure your major system parts meet the
following basic guidelines and requirements:
Central Processor Unit (CPU) Considerations
●Process Type and Package
D2568 supports Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5200 Series as well as Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processors 5400 Series in FC-LGA6 package for LGA771 socket.
●Front Side Bus (FSB)
The processor host bus, or called Front Side Bus (FSB), auto-operates at 1333 MHz. Choose
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5200 Series or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors
5400 Series with 1333 MHz FSB for D2568.
●Single/Dual Processor System
D2568 board supports one or two Dual-Core or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors.
Single Processor System:
When only install a single processor on D2568, the processor must be installed in the CPU0
socket.
Dual Processor System:
D2568 supports dual processor configurations only in which both processors operate with the
same FSB frequency, core frequency, and have the same internal cache sizes. Mixing
processors operating at different FSB frequency, core frequency, or cache sizes may cause
system non-operation or damages on processors and/or the motherboard.
Memory Considerations
●Memory Type
D2568 supports up to eight 240-pin 1.8-Volt DDR2-667 ECC FB-DIMM modules.
●Memory Installation
D2568 is based on Intel®’s 5400 Seaburg chipset, which supports 144-bit wide quad memory
channels in memory interleaved scheme. System requires minimum one memory to boot up
the system.
For further information see "Installing the Memory" chapter.
A26361-D2568-Z120-1-7619, edition 1 9

Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Power Supply Considerations
●Power connectors
D2568 is powered by a split plane PSU with six +12V-rails and 1000W continuous power. One rail is
for each processor, one for systemboard and three for peripherals (e.g. HHDs, add. 6-pin graphics
connector). There are three power connectors on this motherboard as listed below.
EPS/12V Power Connectors

+12V_CPU1
+12V_CPU1 GND
GND
GND
GND
24-pin baseboard power connector 8-pin CPU power connector
(split CPU power planes)
+12 GND
10-pin additional baseboard power connector
By following SSI EEB v3.51 specifications, D2568 is designed with two separate voltage
regulator circuits to provide the power for both onboard processors in separate power rail.
Using a power supply with a combined CPU power plane from the CPU power connector is not
allowed and may cause the system to fail to power up or damage to the power supply.
