2.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA 1151 socket designed for the Intel®
Xeon® E-21xx/E-22xx; Intel® 8th/9th Generation Core™ i3; Intel® Pentium™; Intel® Celeron™
product family processor.
• 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.
• 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.
2.2.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the triangle
mark is on the top-right position.

(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.
2-7
ASUS TS300-E10-PS4/PS8
2.2.2 Installing the CPU heatsink
The Intel® LGA1151 processor requires a specially designed CPU heatsink to ensure
optimum thermal condition and performance.
• When you buy a boxed Intel® processor, a specially designed CPU heatsink or a
CPU heatsink with a CPU fan assembly is included depending on the package. If you
buy a CPU separately, ensure that you use only Intel®certiedmulti‑directionalCPU
heatsink or CPU heatsink with CPU fan.
• Use an LGA1151-compatible CPU heatsink and CPU fan assembly only. The
LGA1151 socket is incompatible with the LGA775 and LGA1366 sockets in size and
dimension.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to the CPU fan
connector.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed
CPU, making sure that the four fasteners
match the holes on the motherboard.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time in
a diagonal sequence to secure the
heatsink and fan assembly in place.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that the Thermal
Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the
heatsink and fan assembly.
Ensure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU
fan and heatsink assembly.

3. 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
4. Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
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.

RAID Conguration
This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and
conguring RAID sets using the available utilities.
Chapter 6: RAID Conguration
6-2 Chapter 6: RAID Conguration
6.1 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.
6.1.1 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.
6-3
ASUS TS300-E10-PS4/PS8
6.1.3 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® C246 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 Selection to [RAID].
4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 5 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
6.1.2 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.
6-4 Chapter 6: RAID Conguration
6.2 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. You can refer to the Installing
hard disk drives, and Setting the RAID item in BIOS sections in this manual for more
information.
