Memory Installation
Memory Support
The X11SSH-F supports up to 64GB of ECC DDR4-2133/1866/1600/1333 unbuffered
(UDIMM) memory in four memory slots. Populating these DIMM slots with memory modules
of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory
performance.
Check the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory support.
Installing Memory
Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
1. Starting with DIMMB2 (blue slot), push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the
DIMM slot to unlock it.
2. Align the key of the DIMM with the receptive point on the memory slot and the notches
on both ends of the module with the receptive points on the slot.
3. With your thumbs on both ends of the module, press it straight down into the slot until
the module snaps into place.
4. Press the release tabs to the locked positions to secure the DIMM module into the slot.
Repeat for other DIMM slots as needed. See next page for population sequence.
5. To remove a DIMM, unlock the release tabs then pull the DIMM from the memory slot.
Caution:
Exercise extreme caution when installing or removing memory modules to prevent
any possible damage to the DIMMs or slots.
Release Tabs
Notches
Press both notches
straight down into
the memory slot.
Note:
Visit the product page on the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory

PCI Expansion Card Installation
The system includes a pre-installed riser card (p/n CSE-RR1U-E16) that positions a standard
size PCI-E x16 card at a 90 degree angle, allowing it to fit inside the chassis.
Installing PCI Expansion Cards
The CSE-RR1U-E16 riser card has already been pre installed into the motherboard. Perform
the following steps to install an add-on card:
Begin by removing power from the system as described in section 3.1.
1. Remove the chassis cover to access the inside of the system.
2. Remove the PCI slot shield on the chassis by releasing the locking tab.
3. Insert the expansion (add-on) card into the riser card.
4. Secure the card with the locking tab.

DIMM Module Population Sequence
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order:
DIMMB2, DIMMA2, DIMMB1, DIMMA1.
•
Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same type, size and speed.
•
Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
•
The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (1 or 3 modules installed). However,
for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs to activate memory interleav-
ing.
