2. Nga korero haumaru

Me whai i ngā mahi ārai haumaru e whai ake nei hei ārai i te kino o te papahoahoa me te whara i a koe anō:

• Disconnect the power cord from the power supply before installing or removing any components.
• Wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling the motherboard or any internal components to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
• Kia mau ki te papahoa papa ki ona tapa kia kore e pa ki nga waahanga tairongo.
• Ensure proper ventilation within the chassis to prevent overheating.
• Kaua e tukuna te papahoahoa ki te makuku, ki te wera nui ranei.

3. Ihirangi mokete

Manatokohia kei roto i te kete o tō papahoahoa ngā tūemi katoa:

• Supermicro MBD-X10SRA-O Motherboard
• I / O Te Shield
• SATA Cables (quantity may vary)
• User Manual (this document, or a printed version)
• Driver CD/DVD (or link to driver download)

4. Tatūnga me te Tāuta

4.1. Tukatuka Tāuta

1. Kimihia te turanga PTM LGA2011 i runga i te papahoa papa.
2. Open the CPU socket retention mechanism by releasing the levers.
3. Carefully align the Intel Xeon E5-2600/1600 v3 or 4th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with the socket, ensuring the gold triangle on the CPU matches the triangle on the socket.
4. Tuhia ata te PTM ki roto i te turanga me te kore e akina.
5. Close the retention mechanism levers to secure the CPU.
6. Apply thermal paste to the CPU surface and install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions.

4.2. Memory Installation

The X10SRA-O motherboard features 8x 288-pin DDR4 DIMM slots.

1. Whakatuwheratia nga topenga pupuri i nga pito e rua o te mokamoka DIMM.
2. Whakahāngaihia te waeine mahara ki te mokamoka, me te whakarite kia ōrite te kohao o te waeine ki te kī i roto i te mokamoka.
3. Press down firmly on both ends of the memory module until the retention clips snap into place.
4. For optimal performance, install memory modules in matched pairs or according to the motherboard's memory population guidelines (refer to the full manual for specific channel configurations).

4.3. Storage (SATA) Connections

The motherboard provides 10x SATA3 (6Gbps) ports.

1. Honoa tetahi pito o te taura raraunga SATA ki te tauranga SATA i runga i te papahoahoa.
2. Honoa te pito kē atu o te taura raraunga SATA ki tō puku mārō SATA, ki tō SSD rānei.
3. Honoa he taura hiko SATA mai i tō pūtake hiko ki te pūrere rokiroki.
4. The Intel C612 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Refer to the BIOS/UEFI setup guide for RAID configuration.

4.4. Expansion Cards (PCIe)

The X10SRA-O includes 4x PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots and 2x PCI-Express 2.0 x4 slots.

1. Select an available PCI-Express slot.
2. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from your chassis.
3. Align the expansion card with the slot and press down firmly until it is fully seated.
4. Secure the card with a screw or retention clip to the chassis.

4.5. Hononga Hiko

1. Tūhonohia te tūhono hiko matua 24-pin ATX mai i to tuku hiko ki te pane e pa ana ki te papahoahoa.
2. Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4-pin) ATX 12V CPU power connector to the motherboard's CPU power header.
3. Ensure all other necessary power connectors (e.g., for graphics cards, storage devices) are properly connected.

5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

5.1. Initial Boot

After completing all hardware installations, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on the system. The system will perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). During POST, you can typically press the 'Delete' or 'F2' key to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.

5.2. Tatūnga BIOS/UEFI

The BIOS/UEFI utility allows you to configure system settings such as boot order, date/time, CPU features, memory timings, and storage controller modes (e.g., AHCI, RAID). Refer to the Supermicro website for the latest BIOS/UEFI manual specific to the X10SRA-O model for detailed configuration options.

6. Tiaki

Mā te tiaki auau ka roa te mahi me te pumau o tō papahoahoa.

• Te horoi: Horoia te puehu o te papahoahoa me ngā wāhanga whakamatao i ia wā mā te whakamahi i te hau kōpeke. Me whakarite kia whakawetohia te hiko o te pūnaha, ā, kia momotu hoki i te hiko i mua i te horoinga.
• Whakahōu BIOS: Tirohia te Supermicro website for updated BIOS versions. BIOS updates can improve system stability, add support for new hardware, or fix bugs. Follow Supermicro's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS.
• Whakaha Uepu: Whakaritea nga taura o roto kia pai te rere o te hau me te aukati i te pokanoa.

7. Te Raru

7.1. No Power / System Does Not Turn On

• Verify that the power supply is connected to a working outlet and switched on.
• Check all power connections to the motherboard (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) and ensure they are fully seated.
• Confirm that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard header.
• Test the power supply with another system or a power supply tester if available.

7.2. Kore Putanga Whakaatu

• Ensure the monitor is powered on and connected to the correct video output port (e.g., on a dedicated graphics card).
• Whakanohoia ano te kaari whakairoiro ki tana mokamoka PCIe.
• Check that all necessary power connectors are attached to the graphics card.
• Try a different monitor or video cable.

7.3. WHEA Event 47 (Memory Corrected Error)

Some users have reported encountering WHEA event 47 errors, particularly with certain Xeon E5 v3 processors. If you experience this, consider the following steps:

• Disable Memory Power Saving Features: Access the BIOS/UEFI setup and locate options related to memory power management. Disable any power-saving features for memory.
• Disable CPU C-States: In the BIOS/UEFI, navigate to CPU power management settings and disable all C-states (power efficient profiles) for the CPU.
• Disable WHEA Support: As a last resort, you may consider disabling WHEA (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) support in the BIOS/UEFI, though this may prevent the system from reporting other hardware errors.
