Chapter 1: Introduction 1.4 Server Installation and Setup The server is shipped with the onboard processor and the motherboard installed in the chassis. Several steps are necessary to begin using your server. You must add memory, mount the hard disk drive, and mount the system in place. Unpacking the System Inspect the box in which the system was shipped and note if it was damaged.
Chapter 1: Introduction Installing Mounting Brackets Optional brackets allow the server to be mounted in any convenient space in the work environment. 1. Install the brackets, using two screws through the holes in each bracket to secure the bracket to the chassis. 2.
Chapter 1: Introduction Installing Rack Mounting Brackets The chassis can be mounted in a rack using two rack brackets and a two-part power adapter shelf bracket (optional, MCP-290-10110-0B). 1. Attach the rack brackets using three screws through the holes in each bracket to secure the bracket to the chassis.
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation Chapter 2 Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given. Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system.
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation 2.2 Accessing the System The CSE-101F features a removable top cover to access to the inside of the chassis. Figure 2-1. Removing the Chassis Cover Removing the Top Cover 1. Power down the system as described in section 2.1. 2.
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation 2.3 Memory Support and Installation Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

Memory Support The A3SPI-4C-HLN4F/8C-HN4LF motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM memory to 2400 MT/s (4C) and 2933 MT/S (8C).
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation Installing Memory When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1. • Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed. Mixing memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed. •...
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation Solid State Storage This motherboard supports an internally mounted solid state storage card by means of an M.2 slot supporting PCIe. Figure 2-3. Installing an M.2 Expansion Card Installing the M.2 Card 1. Access the motherboard and locate the M.2 connector (Figure 1.6, JMD1: M2) 2.
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation Motherboard Battery The motherboard uses non-volatile memory to retain system information when system power is removed. This memory is powered by a lithium battery residing on the motherboard. Figure 2-4. Installing the Onboard Battery Replacing the Battery 1.
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Component Installation 2.4 Chassis Components System Cooling The CSE-101F includes two 4 cm fans. Replacing the System Fan 1. Power down the system as described in section 2.1 and remove the AC power cord and the chassis cover. 2.
Chapter 3 Motherboard Connections Chapter 3 Motherboard Connections This section describes the connections on the A3SPI-4C-HLN4F/8C-HN4LF 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 SYS-E200-12A-4C/8C User's Manual 3.2 Headers and Connectors Fan Headers This motherboard has four 4-pin fan headers. Pins 1-3 of the fan headers are backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans, but using 4-pin fans takes advantage of the fan speed control via Pulse Width Modulation through the BMC.
Page 27
The JTPM1 header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is available from Supermicro or a third-party vendor. A TPM is a security device that supports encryption and authentication in hard drives. It enables the motherboard to deny access if the TPM associated with the hard drive is not installed in the system.
