3.2 Pamasangan komponén

1. Pamasangan CPU:

   Carefully align the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable or Intel Xeon W-3300 processor with the LGA-4189 socket. Ensure the triangular mark on the CPU aligns with the mark on the socket. Gently lower the CPU into the socket without forcing it. Secure the retention mechanism.

2. Pamasangan CPU Cooler:

   Apply thermal paste to the CPU surface if not pre-applied on the cooler. Mount the compatible LGA-4189 CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions. Connect the CPU fan cable to the designated header on the motherboard.

3. Pamasangan mémori (RAM):

   Open the clips on both ends of the DIMM slots. Align the memory module's notch with the key in the DIMM slot. Insert the module firmly until the clips snap into place. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen for recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance (e.g., A1, B1, C1, D1 first).
4. M.2 NVMe SSD Installation:

   Locate the M.2 slots. Remove the M.2 standoff screw. Insert the M.2 SSD into the slot at a 30-degree angle. Push down the SSD and secure it with the standoff screw. Ensure proper thermal pad application if provided.

5. PCIe Card Installation:

   Open the retention clip of the desired PCIe slot. Align the PCIe card with the slot and press it down firmly until it is fully seated. Secure the card with a chassis screw.

6. SATA Drive Connection:

   Connect SATA data cables from your storage drives to the SATA3 ports on the motherboard. Connect power cables from the power supply to the SATA drives.
7. Sambungan catu daya:

   Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector and the 8-pin (or dual 8-pin) CPU power connectors from the power supply to the motherboard.

8. Sambungan Panel hareup:

   Connect the front panel headers (power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, USB ports, audio) to their respective pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard diagram for correct pin assignments.

4. Parentah Operasi

4.1 Ngahurungkeun Mimiti sareng Setelan BIOS

1. After all components are installed and connected, connect the power cord to the power supply and turn on the power switch.
2. Press the power button on the chassis.
3. During POST (Power-On Self-Test), press DEL or F2 (or as indicated on screen) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
4. Configure boot order, enable/disable specific features, and set system time/date as needed. Save changes and exit BIOS.

4.2 Pamasangan Sistem Operasi

Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD). Boot from the installation media and follow the on-screen prompts to install your preferred operating system (e.g., Windows Server, Linux distribution).

4.3 Pamasangan Supir

After OS installation, install all necessary drivers for the motherboard chipset, LAN controllers, and any other integrated components. Drivers can typically be found on the Supermicro support websitus pikeun model husus Anjeun.

4.4 IPMI Remote Management

The motherboard features a dedicated IPMI LAN port for remote management. Connect an Ethernet cable to this port. Access the IPMI web panganteur via a web browser using the IP address assigned to the IPMI. Default login credentials are often provided in a separate IPMI manual or on the Supermicro website. IPMI allows for remote power control, system monitoring, and KVM-over-IP functionality.

5. Pangropéa
