Note:
Wait for the heatsink to cool down before removing it.
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.
2. Hold and gently pivot the heatsink back and forth to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use
excessive force when dislodging the heatsink.)
3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease.
Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease to the surface before you re-install the
heatsink.
Memory Installation
Memory Support
The X11SSW-F supports up to 64GB of ECC DDR4-2133/1866/1600/1333 unbuffered
(UDIMM) memory in four memory slots. Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory
modules of the same size and type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster
than non-interleaved (64-bit) memory.
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, 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 with your
thumbs on both ends of the module, press it straight down into the slot until the module
snaps into place.
3. Press the release tabs to the locked position to secure the DIMM module into the slot.
Repeat for other DIMM slots as needed in the following order:
4. 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.
