- Carefully open the CPU socket retention mechanism by releasing the levers.
- Alineeu la marca triangular de la CPU amb la marca corresponent del sòcol.
- Col·loca suaument la CPU al sòcol sense forçar-la.
- Close the socket retention mechanism, ensuring the CPU is securely seated.
- Apply thermal paste to the CPU and install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions.
2. Memory (DIMM) Installation
The motherboard supports up to 4TB of 3DS ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM DDR4-3200MHz memory across 18 DIMM slots. Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series is supported in specific slots (P1-DIMMB2 and P2-DIMMB2).
- Obriu els clips de retenció als dos extrems de la ranura DIMM.
- Alineeu l'osca del mòdul de memòria amb la clau de la ranura DIMM.
- Insert the module firmly into the slot until the retention clips snap into place.
- Ensure all modules are seated correctly and evenly.
3. Instal·lació de la targeta PCIe
The motherboard features 2 PCIe 4.0 x8 and 4 PCIe 4.0 x16 slots.
- Select an appropriate PCIe slot for your expansion card.
- Remove the corresponding metal bracket cover from the server chassis.
- Align the card with the slot and press down firmly until it is fully seated.
- Secure the card with a screw or retention clip to the chassis.
4. Connexió del dispositiu d'emmagatzematge
The Intel C621A controller provides 14 SATA3 (6 Gbps) ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support. There is also 1 PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot (2280/22110 form factor, M-Key).
- Dispositius SATA: Connect SATA data cables from your storage drives to the SATA ports on the motherboard. Connect power cables from the power supply to the drives.
- Dispositius M.2: Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot, securing it with the provided screw.
5. Connexió a la font d'alimentació
Connect the main 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin (or 4+4 pin) CPU power connectors from your power supply unit to the corresponding ports on the motherboard. Ensure all power connections are secure.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Arrencada inicial
- After all components are installed, connect the power cord to the power supply and turn on the system.
- The system will perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). Monitor for any error codes or beeps.
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 boot order, system time, and various hardware settings.
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 operating system.
Manteniment
1. Neteja
Regularly clean the interior of your server chassis to prevent dust buildup, which can lead to overheating. Use compressed air to remove dust from heatsinks, fans, and other components. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
2. Firmware and Driver Updates
Periodically check the Supermicro official website for the latest BIOS/UEFI firmware and driver updates for your motherboard. Keeping your system updated ensures optimal performance, stability, and security.
Resolució de problemes
