4. Chiudere la piastra di carico e fissarla con la leva.
5. Applicare la pasta termica e installare il dissipatore della CPU seguendo le istruzioni del produttore.

2.3. Installazione della memoria

1. Identify the four DDR3 UDIMM sockets.
2. Aprire le clip di fissaggio su entrambe le estremità dello slot di memoria.
3. Align the memory module's notch with the key in the slot.
4. Inserire saldamente il modulo nello slot finché le clip di fissaggio non scattano in posizione.
5. Repeat for additional memory modules, ensuring proper channel configuration as per your system requirements.

2.4. Connessione del dispositivo di archiviazione

1. Connect SATA data cables from your storage devices to the SATA ports on the motherboard. The board features 2x 6Gbps ports and 4x 3Gbps ports.
2. Connect power cables from the PSU to your storage devices.

2.5. Collegamento dell'alimentazione

1. Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector from the PSU to the corresponding socket on the motherboard.
2. Collegare il connettore di alimentazione della CPU ATX 12V a 8 pin (o 4 pin) alla scheda madre.

2.6. Installazione della scheda di espansione

The server board includes various PCI Express and PCI slots:

• 1x PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot (x16 mechanical)
• 1x PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot (x8 mechanical)
• 1x PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot (x8 mechanical)
• 1x PCI Express x4 slot (x8 mechanical)
• 1x PCI 32/33 (5V) slot

Insert expansion cards firmly into the appropriate slots and secure them with the chassis retention mechanism.

3. Istruzioni per l'uso

3.1. Accensione iniziale

1. Dopo aver installato e collegato tutti i componenti, assicurarsi che l'alimentazione sia accesa.
2. Press the power button on your server chassis.
3. Monitor the POST (Power-On Self-Test) sequence.

3.2. Configurazione BIOS/UEFI

During POST, press the designated key (usually DEL or F2) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. Here you can configure:

• Ordine di avvio
• SATA controller mode (AHCI, RAID)
• Impostazioni di memoria
• Integrated peripherals
• Ora e data del sistema

Refer to the Intel documentation for detailed BIOS/UEFI settings specific to the S1200BTLR.

3.3. Installazione del sistema operativo

Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD) and configure the BIOS/UEFI to boot from it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install your preferred server operating system (e.g., Linux, Windows Server).

3.4. Installazione del driver

After OS installation, install all necessary drivers for the motherboard components, including chipset, network controllers (Intel Dual Gigabit Controller 82574L and 82578DM), and any integrated graphics or RAID controllers. Drivers are typically available on the Intel support websito.

4. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Intel Server Board S1200BTLR.

4.1. Rimozione della polvere

Periodically clean the interior of the server chassis to prevent dust buildup, which can lead to overheating. Use compressed air to gently remove dust from heatsinks, fans, and other components. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

4.2. Firmware and Driver Updates

Controllare regolarmente il supporto Intel website for updated BIOS/UEFI firmware and device drivers. Keeping these components up-to-date can improve stability, performance, and security.

4.3. Ispezione dei componenti

Occasionally inspect the motherboard for any signs of damage, loose connections, or bulging capacitors. Address any issues promptly.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Questa sezione fornisce soluzioni ai problemi più comuni che potresti riscontrare.

5.1. Nessun potere

• Verify that the power supply unit (PSU) is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin ATX and 8-pin/4-pin CPU power).
• Assicurarsi che l'alimentatore sia acceso e collegato a una presa di corrente funzionante.
• Check the power button connection from the chassis to the motherboard.
• Testare l'alimentatore con un altro sistema o con un tester per alimentatori, se disponibile.

5.2. Nessuna uscita di visualizzazione

• Ensure the monitor is connected to the correct video output port and is powered on.
• Reseat the memory modules. Incorrectly seated RAM is a common cause of no display.
• If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is properly seated in its PCIe slot and has auxiliary power connected (if required).
• Provare ad avviare il sistema con un solo modulo di memoria installato.

5.3. Instabilità o arresti anomali del sistema

• Check CPU and system temperatures. Overheating can cause instability. Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed.
• Eseguire strumenti di diagnostica della memoria per verificare la presenza di moduli RAM difettosi.
• Verify that all drivers are correctly installed and up-to-date.
• Verificare la presenza di aggiornamenti BIOS/UEFI.
• Ensure the power supply is sufficient for all installed components.

5.4. Dispositivo di archiviazione non rilevato

• Verify SATA data and power cables are securely connected to both the drive and the motherboard.
• Check BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure SATA ports are enabled and configured correctly (e.g., AHCI mode).
• Test the drive on another system or with a different SATA cable.
