- 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. Betjeningsvejledning
3.1. Første opstart
- After all components are installed and connected, ensure the power supply is switched on.
- Press the power button on your server chassis.
- Monitor the POST (Power-On Self-Test) sequence.
3.2. BIOS/UEFI-konfiguration
During POST, press the designated key (usually DEL or F2) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. Here you can configure:
- Opstartsrækkefølge
- SATA controller mode (AHCI, RAID)
- Hukommelsesindstillinger
- Integrated peripherals
- System tid og dato
Refer to the Intel documentation for detailed BIOS/UEFI settings specific to the S1200BTLR.
3.3. Installation af operativsystem
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. Driver installation
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 webwebsted.
4. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Intel Server Board S1200BTLR.
4.1. Støvfjerning
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- og driveropdateringer
Tjek regelmæssigt Intel-supporten website for updated BIOS/UEFI firmware and device drivers. Keeping these components up-to-date can improve stability, performance, and security.
4.3. Komponentinspektion
Occasionally inspect the motherboard for any signs of damage, loose connections, or bulging capacitors. Address any issues promptly.
5. Fejlfinding
Dette afsnit indeholder løsninger på almindelige problemer, du kan støde på.
5.1. Ingen strøm
- Verify that the power supply unit (PSU) is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin ATX and 8-pin/4-pin CPU power).
- Sørg for, at strømforsyningen er tændt og tilsluttet en fungerende stikkontakt.
- Check the power button connection from the chassis to the motherboard.
- Test strømforsyningen med et andet system eller en strømforsyningstester, hvis tilgængelig.
5.2. Ingen skærmoutput
- 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).
- Prøv at starte op med kun ét hukommelsesmodul installeret.
5.3. Systemustabilitet eller nedbrud
- Check CPU and system temperatures. Overheating can cause instability. Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed.
- Kør hukommelsesdiagnosticeringsværktøjer for at kontrollere for defekte RAM-moduler.
- Verify that all drivers are correctly installed and up-to-date.
- Søg efter BIOS/UEFI-opdateringer.
- Ensure the power supply is sufficient for all installed components.
5.4. Lagringsenhed ikke fundet
- 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.
