Installing a CPU Heatsink
1. Remove power from the system and unplug the AC power cord from the
power supply.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the (preinstalled) heatsink retention mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug.
Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.)
4. Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all
four screws.

CPU or other components.
1. Power down the node and unplug the AC power cord.
2. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the sequence shown in the il-
lustration above.
3. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use
excessive force when doing this!) Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it
from the CPU.

Installing Memory
Caution: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent
any possible damage.
Memory Support
Each X10DRS has eight DIMM slots that can support up to 1 TB of LRDIMM (Load
Reduced) or 512 GB of Registered (RDIMM) ECC DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600
memory. See the following tables for memory installation. For the latest memory
updates, please refer to the Supermicro website.
DIMM Installation
Installing Memory Modules
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots starting with DIMM
slot #P1-DIMMA1. For optimal memory performance, please install a pair
(or pairs) of memory modules of the same type and speed (see the Memory
Installation Table below).
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the key along
the bottom of the module to avoid installing incorrectly (see Figure 5-3).
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Press the release tabs to the locking positions to secure the DIMM module
into the slot. Repeat for all modules.
