4. Configuración e instalación

4.1. Instalación do procesador

1. Localiza o socket da CPU LGA2011 na placa base.
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. Coloque a CPU no socket con coidado sen forzala.
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. Instalación da memoria

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

1. Abra os clips de retención en ambos extremos da ranura DIMM.
2. Aliña o módulo de memoria coa ranura, asegurándote de que a muesca do módulo coincida coa chave da ranura.
3. Prema firmemente os dous extremos do módulo de memoria ata que os clips de retención encaixen no seu lugar.
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. Conecta un extremo dun cable de datos SATA a un porto SATA da placa base.
2. Conecta o outro extremo do cable de datos SATA ao teu disco duro SATA ou SSD.
3. Connect a SATA power cable from your power supply to the storage device.
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. Seleccione unha ranura PCI-Express dispoñible.
2. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from your chassis.
3. Aliñe a tarxeta de expansión coa ranura e prema firmemente cara abaixo ata que estea completamente asentada.
4. Secure the card with a screw or retention clip to the chassis.

4.5. Conexións de alimentación

1. Conecta o conector de alimentación principal ATX de 24 pines da fonte de alimentación ao conector correspondente da placa base.
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. Instrucións de funcionamento

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. Configuración da 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. Mantemento

Un mantemento regular axuda a garantir a lonxevidade e o funcionamento estable da túa placa base.

• Limpeza: Limpa periodicamente o po da placa base e dos compoñentes de refrixeración con aire comprimido. Asegúrate de que o sistema estea apagado e desconectado antes de limpalo.
• Actualizacións da BIOS: Comproba o 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.
• Xestión de cables Asegúrate de que os cables internos estean ben colocados para mellorar o fluxo de aire e evitar interferencias.

7 Solución de problemas

7.1. Sen alimentación / O sistema non se acende

• 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.
• Proba a fonte de alimentación con outro sistema ou cun comprobador de fontes de alimentación se estás dispoñible.

7.2. Sen saída de visualización

• Ensure the monitor is powered on and connected to the correct video output port (e.g., on a dedicated graphics card).
• Volva colocar a tarxeta gráfica na súa ranura 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.
