  • Page 21: Motherboard Installation

    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.
  • Page 22 H11SSW-iN/NT User's Manual Figure 2-1. Motherboard Mounting Holes...

  • Page 23: Installing The Motherboard

    Chapter 2: Installation 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 locations. 3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard with the mounting holes on the chassis.

    CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately. • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support. Installing the Processor and Heatsink 1. Unscrew the screws holding down Force Frame in the sequence of 3-2-1. The screws are numbered on the force frame next to each screw hole.
  • Page 25 Chapter 2: Installation 2. The spring-loaded force frame will raise up after the last screw securing it (#1) is removed. Gently allow it to lift up to its stopping position. 3. Lift the rail frame up by gripping the lift tabs near the front end of the rail frame. While keeping a secure grip of the rail frame, lift it to a position so you can do the next step of removing the external cap.
  • Page 26 H11SSW-iN/NT User's Manual 4. Remove the external cap from the Rail Frame by pulling it upwards through the rail guides on the rail frame. External Cap PnP Cover Cap 5. The CPU package is shipped from the factory with the blue carrier frame pre-assembled.
  • Page 27 Chapter 2: Installation Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the rail frame plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the rail frame plate again, and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
  • Page 28 H11SSW-iN/NT User's Manual 9. Gently lower the force frame down onto the rail frame and hold it in place until it is seated in the Socket housing. Note that the force frame is spring loaded and has to be held in place before it is secured. Important: Use a torque screwdriver, set it at 16.1 kgf-cm (14.0 lbf-in) with a Torx T20 screw head bit, to prevent damage to the CPU.
  • Page 29 Chapter 2: Installation 11. After the force frame is secured and the CPU package is in place, now you must install the heatsink to the frame. Lower the heatsink down till it rests securely over the four screw holes on CPU package on the socket frame. 12.
  • Page 30 H11SSW-iN/NT User's Manual Un-installing the Processor and Heatsink 1. Remove the heatsink attached to the top of the CPU package by reversing the installation procedure. 2.
