2. Nastavitev in namestitev

Before beginning installation, ensure your workspace is static-free. Refer to the following steps for proper component installation.

2.1 Namestitev procesorja

1. Na matični plošči poiščite vtičnico LGA1155 za procesor.
2. Open the CPU socket lever and protective cover.
3. Carefully align the CPU (Intel Core i3, Xeon E3-1200, or Pentium series) with the socket, ensuring the gold triangle on the CPU matches the triangle on the socket.
4. Procesor previdno namestite v podnožje, ne da bi ga silili.
5. Zaprite ročico vtičnice, da pritrdite procesor.
6. Apply thermal paste and install the CPU cooler according to the cooler manufacturer's instructions.

2.2 Namestitev pomnilnika

The X9SCL-B supports up to 32GB of ECC Unbuffered DDR3-1333/1066 DIMMs across four 240-pin slots. For optimal performance, install memory modules in pairs for dual-channel operation.

1. Odprite sponke na obeh koncih reže DIMM.
2. Poravnajte pomnilniški modul z režo in se prepričajte, da se zareza na modulu ujema s ključem v reži.
3. Močno pritisnite na oba konca modula, dokler se sponke ne zaskočijo.

2.3 Namestitev razširitvene kartice

The motherboard features three PCI-Express 2.0 x8 slots (one operating at x4 speed).

1. Select an available PCI-Express slot.
2. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from your chassis.
3. Razširitveno kartico poravnajte z režo in jo močno pritisnite navzdol, da se popolnoma zaskoči.
4. Kartico pritrdite z vijakom ali sponko za pritrditev na ohišje.

2.4 Priključitev naprave za shranjevanje

Connect SATA storage devices to the six SATA2 ports on the motherboard.

• En konec podatkovnega kabla SATA priključite na vrata SATA na matični plošči.
• Drugi konec podatkovnega kabla SATA priključite na trdi disk ali SSD.
• Priključite napajalni kabel SATA iz napajalnika na napravo za shranjevanje.

2.5 Priključitev napajalnika

Connect the main 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin (or 4-pin) CPU power connector from your power supply to the corresponding ports on the motherboard. Ensure all power connections are secure.

2.6 Periferne povezave

Priključite periferne naprave na ustrezna vrata:

• Naprave USB: Use the 9 USB 2.0 ports (2 rear, 6 via headers, 1 Type A).
• PS/2 Devices: Connect PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the 2 PS/2 ports.
• Serijske naprave: Use the 2 serial ports (1 rear, 1 via header).
• Zaslon: Connect a monitor to the VGA port.
• Omrežje: Connect Ethernet cables to the 2 RJ45 LAN ports.

3. Navodila za uporabo

3.1 Začetni vklop

1. After all components are installed and connected, ensure the power supply is switched on.
2. Press the power button on your chassis.
3. The system should power on, and the BIOS POST (Power-On Self-Test) screen will appear on the connected display.

3.2 Nastavitev BIOS-a/UEFI-ja

Za dostop do orodja za nastavitev BIOS/UEFI pritisnite določeno tipko (običajno DEL or F2) during the POST sequence. Within the BIOS, you can configure boot order, system settings, and hardware parameters.

3.3 Namestitev operacijskega sistema

Once the BIOS is configured, you can proceed with installing your preferred operating system (e.g., Windows Server, Linux distributions). Boot from your installation media (USB drive or optical disc) and follow the on-screen instructions.

3.4 Konfiguracija RAID

The Intel C202 PCH chipset supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations for the SATA2 ports. Refer to the Intel RAID controller documentation for detailed instructions on setting up RAID arrays. This typically involves accessing a RAID configuration utility during system boot-up.

4. Vzdrževanje

4.1 System Cleaning

Regularly clean the interior of your server chassis to prevent dust buildup, which can lead to overheating and component failure. Use compressed air to remove dust from fans, heatsinks, and motherboard components. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

4.2 BIOS and Driver Updates

Periodically check the Supermicro website for updated BIOS versions and device drivers. Keeping your BIOS and drivers up-to-date can improve system stability, performance, and compatibility. Follow the instructions provided by Supermicro for any update procedures.

4.3 Okoljski vidiki

Ensure the server operates in a well-ventilated environment with appropriate temperature and humidity levels to prolong component lifespan.

5. Odpravljanje težav

If you encounter issues with your Supermicro X9SCL-B motherboard, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Brez napajanja:
  • Verify that the power supply is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin ATX and 8-pin/4-pin CPU power).
  • Ensure the power supply switch is in the ON position and the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Preverite povezavo gumba za vklop na sprednji plošči z matično ploščo.
• Brez zaslona:
  • Confirm the monitor is connected to the motherboard's VGA port and is powered on.
  • Ponovno namestite pomnilniške module. Nepravilno nameščen RAM je pogost vzrok za odsotnost zaslona.
  • If using a discrete graphics card, ensure it is properly seated and connected to power (if required).
  • Try booting with only one memory module installed.
• POST Errors / Beep Codes:
  • Listen for beep codes from the system speaker. Different beep patterns indicate specific hardware issues (e.g., memory, CPU, graphics). Refer to the Supermicro documentation for a list of beep codes.
  • Check for any error messages displayed on the screen during POST.
• Nestabilnost sistema / zrušitve:
  • Prepričajte se, da so vsi gonilniki posodobljeni.
  • Check CPU and system temperatures to rule out overheating.
  • Za preverjanje morebitnih okvar RAM-a zaženite orodja za diagnostiko pomnilnika.
  • Verify that the power supply provides sufficient and stable power to all components.
• Počisti CMOS:
  • If the system fails to boot after BIOS changes, clear the CMOS by either removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes (with the system unplugged) or using the designated CMOS clear jumper on the motherboard (refer to the motherboard diagram).
