<hr />
<div>==Compatibility rules==<br />
<br />
The criteria for compatibility are essentially:<br />
* must be DDR4;<br />
* must be ECC;<br />
* must be registered (RDIMM);<br />
* must NOT be LRDIMM.<br />
<br />
The supported module sizes are 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. 4GB is expected to work (and is reported working by at least 1 user) but is not officially supported by Raptor.<br />
<br />
The supported memory speeds are 1600, 1866, 2133, 2400, 2666 MHz.<br />
<br />
Ram will be running at a potentially slower frequency (2666, 2400, or 2133) based on if there is 1, 2 or 4 DIMMs per channel<br />

==Compatibility rules==<br />
In general, any PCIe device will work providing that an open source driver is available for your operating system. There are some exceptions:<br />
<br />
* '''Hardware bugs.''' POWER does not permit errant DMA accesses. If a device tries to access areas of host memory which it is not permitted to access, the device is shut down immediately. This is dissimilar to x86 platforms, which simply silently ignore such attempts. Some badly designed I/O devices have bugs causing them to attempt DMA accesses to random areas of host memory; these devices are unlikely to function correctly on POWER systems unless a workaround is available.<br />
* '''I/O space.''' Starting with [[POWER9]], access to the legacy PCI I/O space is no longer supported; devices or drivers which rely on this will not function. The legacy I/O space has been deprecated for as long as PCIe has existed; generally this will only affect very old PCIe devices which use PCIe to PCI bridge chips to attach old PCI devices to the bus. A small subset of these devices may require legacy I/O space support.<br />
* '''Incomplete memory addressing support.''' The PCIe architecture specifies a 64-bit address space. Some I/O devices try to economize on this by only implementing e.g. 40 bits for their addressing, rendering them incapable of addressing host memory which lies above address 2<sup>40</sup>. (Firmware patches to work around this are pending.)<br />
* '''Bifurcation limits.''' Arbitrary PCIe lane bifurcation is not supported. Devices which split a PCIe slot into multiple connectors (for example, PCIe to M.2 adaptors) will not work unless they have a PCIe switch chip, although the first connector will generally work.<br />

=== AMD ===<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6450 - Works with default settings (kernel: radeon, X: modesetting or radeon), tested in BE mode<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Disable AST VGA with jumper. 32 bit.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
=== NVIDIA ===<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />
<br />
=== Other ===<br />
* EVGA 100-U2-UV12-A1 UV Plus USB VGA Adapter - DisplayLink Based - Petitboot shows up without loading firmware. Not tested in OS.<br />
<br />
== Sound Cards ==<br />
<br />
* Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX SB1570 PCIe 5.1 Sound Card<br />
* Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity PCIe Audio Sound Card (SB0880)<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 and 7950 (HDMI audio)<br />

<br />
==USB Host Controllers==<br />
===Working===<br />
* Insignia USB 3.0 PCI-e NS-PCCUP53 V1.0 (Chipset: NEC D720202)<br />
* AGAXO PCEU-23R (Chipset: Renesas uPD720202, PCI id 1912:0015)<br />
* Terminus Technology Inc. FE 2.1 7-port Hub<br />
* [https://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegroprousb3pcie.html Sonnet Allegro Pro USB 3.0 PCIe USB3-PRO-4PM-E] (Chipset: Four [http://www.frescologic.com/product/single/fl1100ex/ Fresco Logic FL1100EX] controllers behind one [https://www.broadcom.com/products/pcie-switches-bridges/pcie-switches/pex8608 PLX PEX 8608] switch)<br />
<br />
===Non-working===<br />
In general, USB3 host controllers based on ASMedia chipsets are known to be problematic, due to ASMedia hardware or firmware bugs causing errant DMA accesses to invalid regions of host memory.<br />
<br />
* AXAGON PCEU-43V - chipset Via VL805 - PCI id 1106:3483<br />
* StarTech PEXUSB314A2V - 2x ASM1142 host controllers and a PCIe switch<br />
* QNINE USB 3.1 Gen2 (Type-A and Type-C) - ASM1142<br />
** It's based on the the same reference design as all the other cheap ASM1142 cards, so there's a good chance those won't work either.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Known problematic cases===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
====Standoff issues====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** Yet to confirm if E-ATX is fullsize.<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
===Known problematic cases===<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used by someone.<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
* '''Thermal Take Core W100/W200/WP100/WP200''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU + fans. <br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** Yet to confirm if E-ATX is fullsize.<br />
* '''Bitfenix Aurora''' ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** Seems to be missing some standoff holes, modification may be required<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />

These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
<br />
===Known problematic cases===<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used by someone.<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
* '''Thermal Take Core W100/W200/WP100/WP200''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU + fans. <br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** Yet to confirm if E-ATX is fullsize.<br />
* '''Bitfenix Aurora''' ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** Seems to be missing some standoff holes, modification may be required<br />
<br />

<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
<br />
===Known problematic cases===<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used by someone.<br />

* '''Thermal Take Core W100/W200/WP100/WP200''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU + fans. <br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />

** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used by someone.<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
* '''Thermal Take Core W100/W200/WP100/WP200''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU + fans. <br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />

<br />
== My motherboard bag's seal/labels are broken! Has it been compromised? ==<br />
<br />
This is normal for now. (It may have been compromised still, but the broken labels don't indicate that.)<br />
<br />
== Mounting in case ==<br />
<br />
=== Where do I get the stand-offs and screws? ===<br />
<br />
They should come with your case. (Check inside drive bays and such.)<br />
<br />
=== Should I use rubber spacers with the stand-offs? ===<br />
<br />
Stand-offs are supposed to help ground the motherboard, so it's better not to.<br />
<br />
=== My case doesn't have holes for some stand-offs! ===<br />
<br />
Not necessarily a big deal, especially for the top-left where the I/O plate helps hold it in place.<br />
<br />
However, note that without stand-offs, you may accidentally bend the board when inserting CPUs, RAM, or other components.<br />
Such bending may damage the board!<br />
<br />
== CPU/HSF installation ==<br />
<br />
=== What is an indium pad? Does the stock HSF include it? ===<br />
<br />
Indium pads help heat transfer from the CPU to the HSF.<br />
4-core and 8-core CPUs do not require them (and do not ship with them).<br />
More powerful CPUs should ship with them if required (TBD whether pre-applied to the HSF, or separately).<br />
<br />
=== Should I remove the label/sticker from the HSF? ===<br />
<br />
No.<br />
Do not remove the label/sticker, or you will void the warranty of the HSF.<br />
<br />
== Front panel I/O ==<br />
<br />
=== Which is the other side of the buttons? ===<br />
<br />
Typically ground, though there is nothing mandating this in the general case. ATX case switches normally short out two adjacent pins when depressed.<br />
<br />
FIXME: Confirm this is the case for Talos specifically.<br />
<br />
=== Are the LED "cathode" pins the plus or minus side? ===<br />
<br />
Minus.<br />
<br />
=== What should the plus side of the LED be connected to? ===<br />
<br />
The associated Anode pin.<br />

=== What does the Identify button do? ===<br />
<br />
Turns on and off the Identify LEDs. This is mainly useful in server farms, as the ID LED status can be both read and set via software (IPMI). The main use is making sure that the correct server is unplugged, restarted, upgraded, etc. by datacenter staff.<br />
<br />
=== What does the NMI button do? ===<br />
<br />
As of this writing the NMI button is ignored by the BMC. It may be used to generate an NMI in future firmware revisions, or serve another purpose entirely.<br />
<br />
=== The HD activity LED doesn't work! ===<br />
<br />
The integrated Microsemi controller does not report activity (yet). A much-belated SAS controller firmware update from Microsemi is expected by 04/20/2018 to enable this functionality.<br />
<br />
In the interim, J10115 can be connected to other hardware to control the HD activity LED.<br />
<br />
=== What is J10115? ===<br />
<br />
Something related to HD activity LED. :)<br />
<br />
== What is OCC mode? ==<br />
<br />
The On Chip Controller (OCC) is a clock / thermal management engine.<br />
<br />
The OCC can enter a safe mode if external hardware detects a condition that would require power throttling. This feature is not active in firmware on Talos II, but the wiring required to support it is present for future expansion.<br />
<br />
== What are the effects of the "CPU secure mode disable" jumpers? ==<br />
<br />
When secure mode is disabled, the on-board SBE will not halt IPL if the next stage (hostboot) fails security verification. When secure mode is enabled, each step of the IPL process verifies the next, and will halt IPL if a discrepancy (hash difference, invalid signature, etc.) is found. Talos II ships with secure mode disabled as of this writing.<br />
<br />
== How do I verify the PGP key that signed the DVD? ==<br />
<br />
(Unknown; while the process to verify the DVD is signed by a given key is documented, there is no documented process at this time to verify which key is the correct Raptor Sales Team key)<br />
<br />
== What is micro PCI-e? ==<br />

=== What is an indium pad? Does the stock HSF include it? ===<br />
<br />
Indium pads help heat transfer from the CPU to the HSF.<br />
4-core and 8-core CPUs do not require them (and do not ship with them).<br />
More powerful CPUs should ship with them if required (TBD whether pre-applied to the HSF, or separately).<br />
<br />
=== Should I remove the label/sticker from the HSF? ===<br />
<br />
No.<br />
Do not remove the label/sticker, or you will void the warranty of the HSF.<br />
<br />
== Front panel I/O ==<br />
<br />
=== Which is the other side of the buttons? ===<br />
<br />
Typically ground, though there is nothing mandating this in the general case. ATX case switches normally short out two adjacent pins when depressed.<br />
<br />
FIXME: Confirm this is the case for Talos specifically.<br />
<br />
=== Are the LED "cathode" pins the plus or minus side? ===<br />
<br />
Minus.<br />
<br />
=== What should the plus side of the LED be connected to? ===<br />
<br />
The associated Anode pin.<br />
<br />
In the case of the HD activity LED, you can use pin 15 (+3.3V main power) for the plus side.<br />
<br />
=== What does the Identify button do? ===<br />
<br />
Turns on and off the Identify LEDs. This is mainly useful in server farms, as the ID LED status can be both read and set via software (IPMI). The main use is making sure that the correct server is unplugged, restarted, upgraded, etc. by datacenter staff.<br />
<br />
=== What does the NMI button do? ===<br />
<br />
As of this writing the NMI button is ignored by the BMC. It may be used to generate an NMI in future firmware revisions, or serve another purpose entirely.<br />
<br />
=== The HD activity LED doesn't work! ===<br />
<br />
The integrated Microsemi controller does not report activity.<br />
<br />
J10115 should be connected to something to control the HD activity LED.<br />
<br />
=== What is J10115? ===<br />
<br />
Something related to HD activity LED. :)<br />
<br />
== What is OCC mode? ==<br />
<br />
The OCC can enter a safe mode if external hardware detects a condition that would require power throttling. This feature is not active in firmware on Talos II, but the wiring required to support it is present for future expansion.<br />
<br />
== What are the effects of the "CPU secure mode disable" jumpers? ==<br />
<br />
When secure mode is disabled, the on-board SBE will not halt IPL if the next stage (hostboot) fails security verification. When secure mode is enabled, each step of the IPL process verifies the next, and will halt IPL if a discrepancy (hash difference, invalid signature, etc.) is found. Talos II ships with secure mode disabled as of this writing.<br />
<br />
== How do I verify the PGP key that signed the DVD? ==<br />
<br />
(Unknown; while the process to verify the DVD is signed by a given key is documented, there is no documented process at this time to verify which key is the correct Raptor Sales Team key)<br />
<br />
=== What is micro PCI-e? ===<br />
<br />

=== Where do I get the stand-offs and screws? ===<br />
<br />
They should come with your case. (Check inside drive bays and such.)<br />
<br />
=== Should I use rubber spacers with the stand-offs? ===<br />
<br />
Stand-offs are supposed to help ground the motherboard, so it's better not to.<br />
<br />
=== My case doesn't have holes for some stand-offs! ===<br />
<br />
Not necessarily a big deal, especially for the top-left where the I/O plate helps hold it in place.<br />
<br />
However, note that without stand-offs, you may accidentally bend the board when inserting CPUs, RAM, or other components.<br />
Such bending may damage the board!<br />

== My motherboard bag's seal/labels are broken! Has it been compromised? ==<br />
<br />
This is normal for now. (It may have been compromised still, but the broken labels don't indicate that.)<br />
<br />
== Mounting in case ==<br />
<br />
=== Where do I get the stand-offs and screws? ===<br />
<br />
They should come with your case. (Check inside drive bays and such.)<br />
<br />
=== Should I use rubber spacers with the stand-offs? ===<br />
<br />
Stand-offs are supposed to help ground the motherboard, so it's better not to.<br />
<br />
=== My case doesn't have holes for some stand-offs! ===<br />
<br />
Not necessarily a big deal, especially for the top-left where the I/O plate helps hold it in place.<br />
<br />
However, note that without stand-offs, you may accidentally bend the board when inserting CPUs, RAM, or other components.<br />
Such bending may damage the board!<br />
<br />
== CPU/HSF installation ==<br />
<br />
=== What is an indium pad? Does the stock HSF include it? ===<br />
<br />
Indium pads help heat transfer from the CPU to the HSF.<br />
4-core and 8-core CPUs do not require them (and do not ship with them).<br />
More powerful CPUs should ship with them if required (TBD whether pre-applied to the HSF, or separately).<br />
<br />
=== Should I remove the label/sticker from the HSF? ===<br />
<br />
No.<br />
Do not remove the label/sticker, or you will void your warranty.<br />
<br />
== Front panel I/O ==<br />
<br />
=== Which is the other side of the buttons? ===<br />
<br />
Ground? (guess)<br />
<br />
=== Are the LED "cathode" pins the plus or minus side? ===<br />
<br />
(Unknown)<br />
<br />
=== What should the other side of the LED be connected to? ===<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
* SuperMicro SC732i-500B<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
* SuperMicro SC732D4-903B<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
* SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
<br />
===Known problematic cases===<br />
<br />
Fractal Design Define XL R2 is missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic<br />
<br />
== Memory ==<br />
