Chapter 3: Setup and Installation Removing a Heatsink We do not recommend removing the heatsink. If necessary, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the CPU socket. 1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the motherboard in the sequence as show in the figure above.
Populating Memory Slots The motherboard of a MBI-6219G-T blade module has eight (8) memory slots (four per node). For optimized memory bandwidth it is strongly recommended that ALL memory slots in this MicroBlade module be populated by DIMMs. DIMM layout is shown below in Figure 3-3.
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation DIMM Installation Caution: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Installing DIMM Memory Modules 1. Power down the blade module (see "Powering Down a MicroBlade Module Unit" on page 3-1).
An operating system (OS) must be installed on each MicroBlade module. Blades with Microsoft Windows OS and blades with Linux OS can both occupy and operate within the same blade enclosure. Refer to the SuperMicro web site for a complete list of supported operating systems.
