電源コードとACアダプター

This chapter covers the steps required to connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page 5-9 for connector locations.)

• SATA drive data cables (A-SATA0 \~ A-SATA1, I-SATA0 \~ I-SATA5)
  • Control Panel cable (JF1)
  • SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO1, T-SGPIO2)

Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10SAE has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for connection to the ATX power supply. In addition, an 8-pin secondary power connector (JPWR2) must also be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connector pin definitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

5-4 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

Notes:

• Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink only.
• Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsinks.
• When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
  • Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

Installing an LGA 1150 Processor

1. Press the load lever to release the load plate covering the CPU socket from its locked position.
2. Gently lift the socket clip to open the load plate.
3. Hold the plastic cap at its north and south center edges to remove it from the CPU socket.
4. After removing the plastic cap, hold the CPU at the north and south center edges with your thumb and index finger.

1. Align the CPU key, which is a semi-circle cutout, against the socket key, which is the notch below the gold color dot on the side of the socket.
2. Align pin 1 of the CPU against pin 1 of the CPU socket.
3. Once both CPU and the socket are aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (To avoid damaging the CPU or the socket, do not rub the CPU against the surface of the socket or its pins.)
4. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.
5. Once the CPU is securely seated on the socket, lower the CPU load plate to the socket.
6. Use your thumb to gently push the socket clip down to the clip lock.

Warning: Please save the plastic cap. The serverboard must be shipped with the plastic cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment without the plastic cap properly installed will cause damage to the socket pins.

Installing the Heatsink

1. Locate the CPU Fan power connector on the motherboard.

2. Position the heatsink so that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan power connector and are not interfered with other components.

3. Inspect the CPU fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of the heatsink.

4. Remove the thin layer of the protective film from the heatsink.

Warning: CPU overheat may occur if the protective film is not removed from the heatsink.

1. Apply the proper amount of thermal grease on the CPU. (Note: if your heatsink came with a thermal pad, please ignore this step.)

2. If necessary, rearrange the wires to make sure that the wires are not pinched between the heatsink and the CPU. Also make sure to keep clearance between the fan wires and the fi ns of the heatsink.

3. Align the four heatsink fasteners with the mounting holes on the motherboard. Gently push the pairs of diagonal fasteners (#1 & #2, and #3 & #4) into the mounting holes until you hear a click. Also, make sure to orient each fastener so that the narrow end of the groove is pointing outward.

1. Repeat Step 7 to insert all four heatsink fasteners into the mounting holes.
2. Once all four fasteners are securely inserted into the mounting holes, and the heatsink is properly installed on the motherboard, connect the heatsink fan wires to the CPU Fan connector.

Removing the Heatsink

Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. However, if necessary, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage done to the CPU or other components.

1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply and disconnect the heatsink fan wires from the CPU fan header.
2. Gently press on the fastener cap and turn it counterclockwise to make a 1/4 (90°) turn, and pull the fastener upward to loosen it.
3. Repeat Step 3 to loosen all fasteners from their mounting holes.
4. With all fasteners loosened, remove the heatsink from the CPU.

5-5 Installing Memory Modules

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.

Installing & Removing DIMMs

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMMA1. For best performance, please use the memory modules of the same type and speed on the motherboard. See the DIMM Installation Chart on the following page.
2. Pull out the release tabs on the ends of a memory slot. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.
3. Using both thumbs, gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules.
4. Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMM modules from the serverboard.

Figure 5-3. DIMM Installation

Memory Population Guidelines

Please follow the table below when populating the X10SAE.

Populating DIMM Slots
Max Memory Possible	1Gb DRAM Technology	2Gb DRAM Technology	4Gb DRAM Technology
Single Rank UDIMM	4GB (4x1GB DIMMs)	8GB (4x2GB DIMMs)	16GB (4x4GB DIMMs)
Dual Rank UDIMMs	8GB (4x2GB DIMMs)	16GB (4x4GB DIMMs)	32GB (4x8GB DIMMs)

Notes

• Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same frequency. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.
• Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availability is disproportional. See the following table for details.

- For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specific to the behavior of Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode, which improves driver compatibility. For more information, please read the article at Microsoft's Knowledge Base website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888137.

5-9 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the serverboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the serverboard layout pages for jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed" means the jumper is on both pins and "Open" means the jumper is either on only one pin or completely removed.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.

To clear CMOS,

1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver.
3. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
4. Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SAE. The ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the key while the system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as , , etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note: the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include , , , , arrow keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Configuration Data

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing at the appropriate time during system boot.
