If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 4 for details on installing those specific components.
Chapter 2: Server Installation • In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in- stallations, the racks should be coupled together. • Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from the rack.
SuperServer 4029GP-TVRT User's Manual Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Chapter 2: Server Installation 2-3 Procedure for Rack Mounting This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly.

The failed power module can be replaced without powering-down the system. Replace with the same model. Replacement modules can be ordered directly from Supermicro. An amber light on the power supply is illuminated when the power is switched off. An green light indicates that the power supply is operating.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Expansion Cards The X11DGO-T system motherboard offers two PCI-E expansion card slots. See restrictions if the system includes NVMe (Storage Drives section). The X10DGO-SXMV GPU board offers four additional PCI-E slots, supported by PLX, linked to the GPUs. All expansion cards are x16 low profile.
Chapter 4: Motherboard Connections Chapter 4 Motherboard Connections This section describes the connections on the X11DGO-T motherboard and provides pinout definitions. Note that depending on how the system is configured, not all connections are required. The LEDs on the motherboard are also described here. A motherboard layout indicating component locations may be found in Chapter 1.
SuperServer 4029GP-TVRT User's Manual 4.2 Headers and Connectors Fan Headers This motherboard has two fan headers (FAN1/FAN2) for system cooling. These are 4-pin fan headers, which are backward compatible with traditional 3-pin fans. The onboard fan speed is controlled by Thermal Management (via Hardware Monitoring) in the IPMI interface. For best thermal management, use all 4-pin fans.
Page 59
Chapter 4: Motherboard Connections Serial Port A serial port (COM1) is located next to the power connector (JPW12) on the motherboard. The COM port header provides serial communication support. CN Connectors (CN10-17) CN connectors are used to connect PCI buses from processors to PCI-E slots using OCuLink x8 or x4 Y cables.
Chapter 4: Motherboard Connections 4.4 Jumpers Explanation of Jumpers To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers are used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function associated with it. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.
