2.2.1 Installing the CPU
To install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load
lever is on your right.
2.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the Intel® Xeon®
Processor E Family (Coffee Lake) and Intel® 8th/9th Generation Core™ i3 Processors
• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• Upon purchase of the server system, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and
the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap
is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard
components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/
transit-related.
• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from
incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP
cap.

ASUS TS100-E10-PI4
Do not remove the PnP cap yet from
the CPU socket. Doing so may bend
the pins of the socket.

2. Press the load lever with your thumb
(A), then move it to the right (B) until it is
released from the retention tab.
3. Lift the load lever until the load plate is
completely lifted.

7. Apply some Thermal Interface Material
to the exposed area of the CPU that the
heatsink will be in contact with, ensuring
that it is evenly spread in a thin layer.
Some heatsinks come with pre-
applied Thermal Interface Material. If
so, skip this step.
The Thermal Interface Material is
toxic and inedible. DO NOT eat it. If
it gets into your eyes or touches your
skin, wash it off immediately and seek
professional medical help.

5. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN1.
DO NOT forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if
you fail to plug this connector.
2.2.3 Uninstalling the CPU heatsink and fan
To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the
connector on the motherboard.
2. Rotate each fastener counterclockwise.
3. Pull up two fasteners at a time in a
diagonal sequence to disengage the
heatsink and fan assembly from the
motherboard.
4. Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.

2.3 System memory
2.3.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Modules
(DIMM) sockets.
A DDR4 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module. DO NOT
install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.

2.3.3 Installing a DIMM on a single clip DIMM socket
Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the
components.
3. Hold the DIMM by both of its ends
then insert the DIMM vertically into the
socket. Apply force to both ends of the
DIMM simultaneously until the retaining
clip snaps back into place and the
DIMM cannot be pushed in any further
to ensure proper sitting of the DIMM.
Locked Retaining Clip
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the
retaining clip outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that
the notch on the DIMM matches the
DIMM slot key on the socket.

3.2 Jumpers
1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC1)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can
clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the
CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS
which include system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from the default pins 1–2 to pins 2–3. Keep the cap on pins
2–3 for about 5 to 10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1–2.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-
enter data.
DO NOT remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position except when clearing the RTC
RAM. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the jumper again to
clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After the CMOS clearance, reinstall the battery.
ASUS TS100-E10-PI4 3-5

RAID Conguration
This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and
conguring RAID sets using the available utilities.
Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
5-2 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
5.1 Setting up RAID
The motherboard supports the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM
Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support.
5.1.1 RAIDdenitions
RAID 0
(Data striping)
optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in
parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a
sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access
and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.
RAID 1
(Data mirroring)
copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a
second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications
to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID
conguration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use
two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be
of the same size or larger than the existing drive.
RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having
to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 conguration you get all the benets of both
RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and
three new drives for this setup.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among
the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and
higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration is best suited for transaction processing,
relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems.
Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.
If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy
rst the RAID driver from the support DVD to a oppy disk before you install an operating
system to the selected hard disk drive.
ASUS TS100-E10-PI4 5-3
5.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS
You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA
hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel® C242 chipset.
To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Chipset Menu > PCH-IOConguration > SATAAndRSTeConguration,
then press <Enter>.
3. Set SATA Mode to [RAID].
4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,
install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conguration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system
user guide.
2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to
the SATA connector on the motherboard.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
5-4 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
5.2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA
Option ROM Utility
The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility allows you to
create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set from Serial ATA hard disk
drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge.
The navigation keys at the bottom of the screen allow you to move through the menus
and select the menu options.
The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not
exactly match the items on your screen.
To launch the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility:
1. Turn on the system.
2. During POST, press <Ctrl>+<I> to display the utility main menu.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives, and
have set the correct SATA mode in the BIOS setup.
