BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package for enterprise platforms. 1.3 Special Features This section describes the health monitoring features of the H12SSG-ANP6. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health monitoring. Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system.
H12SSG-ANP6 User's Manual adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in BMC. Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control Users can check the RPM status of the cooling fans through the IPMI Web interface. The chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.6 Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise.
H12SSG-ANP6 User's Manual Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
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.
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 23
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 24
H12SSG-ANP6 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 25
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 26
H12SSG-ANP6 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 27
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.

Chapter 2: Installation 2.7 Jumper Settings How Jumpers Work To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin #1 is identified with a thicker border line on the printed circuit board. See the diagram below for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2.
Page 38
H12SSG-ANP6 User's Manual Watch Dog (JWD1) JWD1 controls the Watch Dog function. Watch Dog is a monitor that can reboot the system when a software application hangs. Jumping pins 1-2 will cause Watch Dog to reset the system if an application hangs. Jumping pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable interrupt signal for the application that hangs.
Chapter 2: Installation 2.8 LED Indicators IPMI LAN Port LEDs The IPMI LAN port has two LED indicators. The Activity LED is green and indicates connection and activity. The Link LED may be green, orange/amber, or off to indicate the speed of the connection.
Page 40
H12SSG-ANP6 User's Manual Power LED The Power LED is designated as LED2 on the motherboard. When this LED is lit, it means that power is present on the motherboard. In suspend mode, this LED will blink on and off. Be sure to turn off the system and unplug the power cord(s) before removing or installing components.
