3. Instruccions de funcionament
3.1. Engegada inicial
- Després d'instal·lar i connectar tots els components, assegureu-vos que l'alimentació estigui connectada.
- Press the power button on your server chassis.
- Monitor the POST (Power-On Self-Test) sequence.
3.2. Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI
During POST, press the designated key (usually DEL or F2) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. Here you can configure:
- Ordre d'arrencada
- SATA controller mode (AHCI, RAID)
- Configuració de la memòria
- Integrated peripherals
- Data i hora del sistema
Refer to the Intel documentation for detailed BIOS/UEFI settings specific to the S1200BTLR.
3.3. Instal·lació del sistema operatiu
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. Instal·lació del controlador
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 weblloc.
4. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Intel Server Board S1200BTLR.
4.1. Eliminació de pols
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
Consulteu regularment el suport d'Intel website for updated BIOS/UEFI firmware and device drivers. Keeping these components up-to-date can improve stability, performance, and security.
4.3. Inspecció de components
Occasionally inspect the motherboard for any signs of damage, loose connections, or bulging capacitors. Address any issues promptly.
5. Solució De Problemes
Aquesta secció ofereix solucions a problemes comuns que podeu trobar.
5.1. Sense poder
- Verify that the power supply unit (PSU) is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin ATX and 8-pin/4-pin CPU power).
- Assegureu-vos que la font d'alimentació estigui engegada i connectada a una presa de corrent que funcioni.
- Check the power button connection from the chassis to the motherboard.
- Test the PSU with another system or a PSU tester if available.
5.2. Sense sortida de pantalla
- 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.
