Host Fabric Interface (HFI) Carrier Card Sideband Headers (for
the F Model CPU Only)
Two Host Fabric Interface (HFI) carrier card headers are located at JHFI1/JHFI2 on the
motherboard. These JHFI1/JHFI2 headers are used when F model processors are installed on
the motherboard. Please note that JHFI1 is used for the F model processor installed in CPU
Socket#1, and JHFI2, used for the processors in CPU Socket#2. When only one processor is
used, please install it on CPU Socket#1 first. Then, use an HFI sideband cable to connect the
carrier card to the JHFI header, and use an appropriate IFP (Internal-Faceplate-to-Processor)
cable (optional) to connect the carrier card to the F model processor in CPU Socket #1 for
system performance enhancement. Please follow the same steps above to enable Host
Fabric Interface support for CPU2. See the table on the next page for JHFI1/JHFI2 pin-out
definitions, and also refer to Page 34 for the installation instructions.
Notes: For the HFI carrier card to function properly, please purchase the appropriate
IFP cable(s) from Supermicro. Please refer to Supermicro's website at www.supermicro.
com for the part number of the IFP cable specified for your system.
Notes: 1. IFP Cable (*See Note above) 2. Please repeat Step 1 to Step 6 to enable HFI support for CPU2.

Chapter 2: Installation
Install an F model CPU
on Socket#1 (and another
F model CPU on Socket#2 if needed.
Then repeat Step 1 to Step 6
for HFI support for CPU2.)
