Chapter 1: Introduction 1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E3-1200 v5 series processors (Socket LGA 1151) and the Intel C236/C232 PCH, the X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual 1.4 System Health Monitoring The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports system health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Chapter 1: Introduction In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2012 Operating Systems. 1.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. Precautions • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. • Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Chapter 2: Installation 2.2 Motherboard Installation All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual Installing the Motherboard 1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis. 2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. See the previous page for the location. 3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis. 4. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed. 5. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging other motherboard components. 6.
Chapter 2: Installation 2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Important: • Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink. • If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink only.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual 2. Gently lift the load lever to open the load plate. Remove the plastic cap. 3. Use your thumb and your index finger to hold the CPU at the North center edge and the South center edge of the CPU. North Center Edge South Center Edge 4. Align the CPU key that is the semi-circle cutouts against the socket keys. Once it is aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically.
Chapter 2: Installation 5. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damaging the CPU or the socket. 6. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed. 7. Use your thumb to gently push the load lever down to the lever lock. CPU properly installed Load lever locked into place Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction.

Thermal Grease 2. Position the heatsink so that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan power connector and are not interfering with other components. Heatsink Fins 3. Inspect the CPU fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of the heatsink. 4.
Chapter 2: Installation 7. Align the four heatsink fasteners with the mounting holes on the motherboard. Gently push the pairs of diagonal fasteners (#1 & #2, and #3 & #4) into the mounting holes until you hear a click. Also, make sure to orient each fastener so that the narrow end of the groove is pointing outward. 8. Repeat step 7 to insert all four heatsink fasteners into the mounting holes. 9.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual Removing the Active Heatsink Note: We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However, if you do need to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to remove the heatsink and to prevent damage done to the CPU or other components. Unplug the PWR cord 1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply. 2. Disconnect the heatsink fan wires from the CPU fan header. 3.
Chapter 2: Installation Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink 1. Do not apply thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount has already been applied. 2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the motherboard and the underlying heatsink bracket. 3. Screw in two diagonal screws (the #1 and #2 screws in the figure below) until just snug. To avoid possible damage to the CPU, do not over tighten the screws. 4.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual Removing the Passive Heatsink Note: We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However, if you do need to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to remove the heatsink and to prevent damage done to the CPU or other components. 1. Unscrew the heatsink screws from the motherboard in the sequence as shown in the figure below. 2. Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force) 3.
Chapter 2: Installation 2.4 Memory Support and Installation Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules. Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Memory Support The X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) motherboard supports up to 64GB of unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR4 ECC 2400/2133/1866/1600/1333MHz memory in four memory slots.
X11SSM(-F)/X11SSL(-F) User Manual DIMM Module Population Sequence When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMB2, DIMMA2, DIMMB1, DIMMA1. • Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same type, size and speed. • Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMM. • The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (1 or 3 modules installed).
