Introduction
Product Description
The AFW-3000 Intel®Xeon?Server Motherboard is based on the
Intel®ET7501 chipset. With two 184-pin DDR memory sockets, up to
4GB of memory is supported. A dual-channel DDR-200/266 memory
interface provides amaximum memory bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s through a
144-bit wide, 200/266 MHz Double Data Rate SDRAM memory
interface with densities up to 512 megabits is supported.
The Intel®Xeon™ Processor provides exceptional performance for
applications running on advanced operating systems and delivers
unparalleled computing power for powerful workstations, internet
infrastructure, and departmental server applications. The Intel®
NetBurst™ micro-architecture and Hyper-Threading Technology
deliver outstanding performance and headroom for peak internet server
workloads, resulting in faster response times, support for more users,
and improved scalability.
The on board Intel®E7501 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) is
the central hub for all data passing through core system elements such as
the dual Intel Xeon™ processors with 512 KB L2 cache via the system
bus interface, the memory via memory interface, and both the 64-bit
PCI/PCI-X and I/O controller hubs via Intel®Hub Interfaces.

Installing the CPU
The AFW-3000 Server Motherboard supports a CPU socket for Intel®
Xeon?processors. This socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Raise this lever to about a 90°angle to allow the insertion of
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, return the
lever to the lock position. Refer to the figures below.
After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.
NOTE:
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.

ATX Power Installation
The system power is provided to the AFW-3000 Server Motherboard
with the CN7 and CN8 ATX power connectors. CN8 is a 4-pin power
connector. CN7 is a 20-pin ATX power connector.
Installing the Memory
The AFW-3000 Server Motherboard supports two DDR memory sockets
for a maximum total memoryof 4GB in DDR memory type.
Note: DIMM modules must be DDR/ECC/Reg Only.
Modules “in pairs”must be the same type and size.
The memory module capacities supported are 64MB, 128MB, 256MB,
512MB, 1GB and 2GB. The following table lists the supported DDR
DIMM configurations.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR modules, locate the memory slot on the Server
Motherboard and perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR module so that the keysof the DDR module align with
those on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR module in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR module in place when the DDR module
touches the bottom of the slot.

Configuring the CPU Frequency
The AFW-3000 Server Motherboard does not provide DIP switches to
configure the processor speed (CPU frequency). By default, the board
automatically detects the CPU FSB clock.
JP6: Clear CMOS Contents
Use JP6, a 3-pin header, to clear the CMOS contents. Note that the
ATX-power connector should be disconnected from the Server
Motherboard before clearing CMOS.
