• Connect the 8-pin CPU power connectors (EPS12V) to the motherboard. Ensure both are connected for dual CPU configurations.

Mode d'emploi

1. Démarrage initial

After all components are installed and connected, connect the power supply to a wall outlet and power on the system. The system should initiate POST (Power-On Self-Test) and display information on the connected monitor.

2. Configuration 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, enable/disable integrated peripherals, and adjust performance settings. Refer to the Supermicro website for detailed BIOS/UEFI guides and firmware updates.

3. Installation du système d'exploitation

Once BIOS/UEFI is configured, proceed with the installation of your preferred operating system (e.g., Windows Server, Linux distributions). Ensure all necessary drivers for the motherboard's chipsets, LAN, and other integrated components are installed after the OS is set up.

Entretien

• Élimination de la poussière : Nettoyez régulièrement la poussière accumulée sur la carte mère et les composants de refroidissement à l'aide d'air comprimé. Assurez-vous que le système est éteint et débranché avant tout nettoyage.
• Mises à jour du micrologiciel : Check the Supermicro support website regularly for the latest BIOS/UEFI and BMC firmware updates to ensure optimal performance, stability, and security. Follow the provided instructions carefully when performing updates.
• Gestion des câbles: Ensure internal cables are neatly routed to promote proper airflow and prevent overheating.
