6300ESB Customer Reference Board (CRB) usage:
• A 550 W SSI EPS 12 V power supply. The CRB is shipped with the power supply.
• At least two modules of DDR2 400 DIMM. The CRB is shipped with 2 x 256 Mbytes of
DDR2 400.

• Monitor
• PS/2 mouse and keyboard
Visually inspect the board and ensure that the MCH, Intel
®
6300ESB I/O Controller, PXH, and
other components did not shake loose during shipment. If the board has any loose or missing
components, contact your Intel representative.
Caution: Powering up without all components installed correctly could lead to a power-up failure that could
damage the board. Do not power up the board until the source of any loose component is
determined and the component has been replaced on the board.
3.1 Precautions
The following precautions will reduce the chances of damaging the board:
• Ensure that a 550 W SSI EPV 12 V power supply is used to power up the CRB. Refer to
Section 5.1, “Power Diagrams” on page 25 for details on the SSI power supply interface on the
CRB.
• This platform supports DDR2 400 DIMMs; ensure that the same speed DIMM is plugged in
all slots of the platform.
• Ensure that each processor has heat sinks attached before powering up the board.
• Ensure that the heat sink is attached to the MCH and PXH before powering up the board.
Never attach a heat sink while the board is powered.
• Use Table 4 to verify that all jumpers are in their default positions.
