The board features a green PCB with blue and black DIMM slots, and silver heatsinks for chipset and VRMs.
1. CPU Installation (LGA 4189)
- Carefully open the CPU socket retention mechanism by releasing the levers.
- Allinja l-marka trijangulari fuq is-CPU mal-marka korrispondenti fuq is-sokit.
- Poġġi s-CPU bil-mod fis-sokit mingħajr ma tisforzah.
- Close the socket retention mechanism, ensuring the CPU is securely seated.
- Applika pejst termali mas-CPU u installa l-cooler tas-CPU skont l-istruzzjonijiet tal-manifattur tiegħu.
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).
- Open the retention clips at both ends of the DIMM slot.
- Allinja l-islott fuq il-modulu tal-memorja maċ-ċavetta fl-islott tad-DIMM.
- Insert the module firmly into the slot until the retention clips snap into place.
- Ensure all modules are seated correctly and evenly.
3. PCIe Card Installation
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.
- Allinja l-kard mas-slott u agħfas 'l isfel sew sakemm tkun f'postha għalkollox.
- Secure the card with a screw or retention clip to the chassis.
4. Konnessjoni tal-Apparat tal-Ħażna
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).
- Apparati 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.
- M.2 Devices: Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot, securing it with the provided screw.
5. Konnessjoni tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija
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.
Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
1. L-Ewwel Bidu
- 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. Konfigurazzjoni tal-BIOS/UEFI
During POST, press the designated key (usually DEL or F2) biex tidħol fl-utilità tas-setup tal-BIOS/UEFI. Hawnhekk tista' tikkonfigura l-ordni tal-ibbutjar, il-ħin tas-sistema, u diversi settings tal-ħardwer.
3. Installazzjoni tas-Sistema Operattiva
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.
Manutenzjoni
1. Tindif
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.
