GA-8IPXDR-E Series Intel Dual Xeon Serverboard User's Manual
User's manual for the GIGABYTE GA-8IPXDR-E Series Intel Dual Xeon Serverboard, covering CPU (mPGA 604 socket), memory, expansion card and cable installation, BIOS setup, IPMI, and driver installation for GA-8IPXDR-E and GA-8IPXDR-EC models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What CPU socket does the GA-8IPXDR-E use?
It uses an mPGA 604 socket supporting Intel Xeon processors with 512KB L2 cache and Intel Prestonia 400/533MHz FSB.
What is the difference between the GA-8IPXDR-E and GA-8IPXDR-EC models?
The GA-8IPXDR-E supports 533MHz and includes SCSI function, while the GA-8IPXDR-EC supports 533MHz but does not include SCSI function.
How many memory sockets does the board have and how must DIMMs be installed?
The board has 6 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets but supports a maximum of 3 banks. DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs, following the slot order J3/J6 -- J2/J5 -- J1/J4. If only one pair is installed, it must go in the J3/J6 slot.
What is the maximum memory capacity supported?
The board supports up to 12GB of DRAM (max) using Registered ECC DDR DIMMs at 2.5V, with 200MHz/266MHz DDR memory interface.
What onboard SCSI and LAN chipsets does the board include?
It includes an Adaptec 7902W Ultra 320 SCSI Chipset and a built-in Intel 82546EB single chip with dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller.
What should I check before installing the CPU?
Make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard, and align the CPU's Pin 1 with the socket's Pin 1 indicator and the golden cut edge on the CPU's upper corner to avoid improper installation.

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. 1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside. 2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. 3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components. 4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system. 5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard. GA-8IPXDR-E Series Model List 3 GA-8IPXDR-E (Supports 533MHz / with SCSI function) 3 GA-8IPXDR-EC (Supports 533MHz / without SCSI function) 5 WARNING! If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Hardware Installation Process 1 5 Step 2: Install memory modules The motherboard has 6 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets, but it can only support a maximum of 3 banks DDR memory. DDR socket 1 uses 1 bank, DDR socket 2& 3 share the remaining 2 banks. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch.Memory size can vary between sockets. Registered DDR Notch J4 (B-1) J1 (A-1) J5 (B-2) J2 (A-2) J6 (B-3) J3 (A-3) 1 6 GA-8IPXDR-E(C) Motherboard Installation Step: 1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. 4. When installing the memoryin the DIMM module, please insert them pair by pair . You must follow the slot number order to insert the DIMM into DIMM module. The installation number sequence are J3J6 -- J2J5 -- J1J4 . If you only insert one pair, you must insert it in J3/J6 slot. 5. If you want to install X4, X8 device width DDR DIMMs simultaneously, please populated x4 device width DIMMs at the farthest DIMMs away from MCH. 6. It is not not recommended to use DDR X4, X8 type of mixture installation. 7. DIMMs must be populated in pairs, and the DIMMs in a pair must be identical. 8. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module. J4 (B-1) J1 (A-1) J5 (B-2) J2 (A-2) J6 (B-3) J3 (A-3) Hardware Installation Process 1 7 Step 3: Install expansion cards 1.
