Figur 1: Top-down view of the Supermicro MBD-X12DPI-N6-B E-ATX Server Motherboard, showcasing its dual LGA 4189 CPU sockets, 18 DDR4 DIMM slots, multiple PCIe 4.0 expansion slots, and various connectors for storage and peripherals. 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.
- Align the triangular mark on the CPU with the corresponding mark on the socket.
- Placer forsigtigt CPU'en i soklen uden at tvinge den.
- Close the socket retention mechanism, ensuring the CPU is securely seated.
- Påfør termisk pasta på CPU'en, og installer CPU-køleren i henhold til producentens anvisninger.
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).
- Åbn fastholdelsesklemmerne i begge ender af DIMM-stikket.
- Juster hakket på hukommelsesmodulet med nøglen i DIMM-stikket.
- 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.
- 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. Tilslutning af lagerenhed
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).
- SATA-enheder: 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. Tilslutning af strømforsyning
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.
Betjeningsvejledning
1. Første opstart
- 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. BIOS/UEFI-konfiguration
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. Installation af operativsystem
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.
Opretholdelse
1. Rensning
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.
Fejlfinding
Hvis du støder på problemer, kan du se følgende almindelige fejlfindingstrin:
- Ingen strøm: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) are securely connected. Check the power supply unit and wall outlet.
- Ingen visning: Verify that the monitor is connected and powered on. Reseat the graphics card (if applicable) and memory modules. Try booting with minimal components.
- System Beeps: Consult the motherboard's beep code table (usually found in the full manual on the Supermicro website) to diagnose hardware issues indicated by specific beep patterns.
- Operativsystemet starter ikke op: Check the boot order in BIOS/UEFI. Ensure the storage drive with the OS is detected and functional.
- Overophedning: Ensure CPU coolers and chassis fans are properly installed and functioning. Clean dust from heatsinks and vents.
