5. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

5.1. Initial Boot

After completing all hardware installations, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on the system. The system will perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). During POST, you can typically press the 'Delete' or 'F2' key to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.

5.2. BIOS/UEFI konfigurazioa

The BIOS/UEFI utility allows you to configure system settings such as boot order, date/time, CPU features, memory timings, and storage controller modes (e.g., AHCI, RAID). Refer to the Supermicro website for the latest BIOS/UEFI manual specific to the X10SRA-O model for detailed configuration options.

6. Mantentzea

Mantentze-lan erregularrak zure plaka basearen iraupena eta funtzionamendu egonkorra bermatzen laguntzen du.

• Garbiketa: Aldian-aldian, garbitu hautsa plaka nagusitik eta hozte-osagaietatik aire konprimitua erabiliz. Ziurtatu sistema itzalita eta deskonektatuta dagoela garbitu aurretik.
• BIOS eguneraketak: Egiaztatu Supermicro website for updated BIOS versions. BIOS updates can improve system stability, add support for new hardware, or fix bugs. Follow Supermicro's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS.

7. Arazoak

7.1. No Power / System Does Not Turn On

• Verify that the power supply is connected to a working outlet and switched on.
• Check all power connections to the motherboard (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) and ensure they are fully seated.
• Confirm that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard header.
• Test the power supply with another system or a power supply tester if available.

7.2. Ez dago pantaila-irteerarik

• Ensure the monitor is powered on and connected to the correct video output port (e.g., on a dedicated graphics card).
• Berriro sartu grafiko txartela bere PCIe zirrikituan.
• Check that all necessary power connectors are attached to the graphics card.
• Try a different monitor or video cable.

7.3. WHEA Event 47 (Memory Corrected Error)

Some users have reported encountering WHEA event 47 errors, particularly with certain Xeon E5 v3 processors. If you experience this, consider the following steps:

• Disable Memory Power Saving Features: Access the BIOS/UEFI setup and locate options related to memory power management. Disable any power-saving features for memory.
• Disable CPU C-States: In the BIOS/UEFI, navigate to CPU power management settings and disable all C-states (power efficient profiles) for the CPU.
• Disable WHEA Support: As a last resort, you may consider disabling WHEA (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) support in the BIOS/UEFI, though this may prevent the system from reporting other hardware errors.
