hardware connected to your system will be explained in detail.
Installation Procedures
Installation procedures will be broken down to six major parts.
Step 1:Jumper setting
Step 2: Install memory (Registered DDR DIMM Module)
Step 3: Install Intel Socket-604 Xeon (Prestonia) CPU
Step 4: Attach cables to connectors

Hardware Installation
Step 1.
Jumper Setting
There are two jumpers you can use to change the setting on the motherboard.
1. Clear Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM
The onboard button cell battery powers the CMOS RAM. It contains all the
BIOS setup information. Normally, it is necessary to keep the jumper
connected to pin1 and pin2 (Default) to retain the RTC data as shown below.
Note
Should you want to clear the RTC data:
(1) Soft off your computer
(2) Short pin2 and pin3 with jumper for few seconds
(3) Connect pin1 and pin2 with jumper again.
(4) Turn on your computer by pressing the power-on button from front-panel.
