Supermicro X11SSH-F

LGA1151/C236 server board for Xeon E3 v5/v6, ECC UDIMM, SATA and IPMI. This record is restricted to the exact printed SKU; confirm the physical PCB revision before installation or firmware service.

MODEL / REVISION: X11SSH-F is the exact manufacturer model/SKU documented here. Match the PCB revision and assembly label printed on the physical board before choosing firmware or CPU support; revision-specific differences must not be inferred from a similar model or suffix.

Specifications

Exact board / SKUSupermicro X11SSH-F — exact product suffix retained; verify PCB revision from board silkscreen.
PCB revisionThe manufacturer reference identifies this exact model SKU, not a single board assembly revision. Read the revision silk-screen on the physical PCB; no unverified revision number is assumed.
CPU socket / platformOne Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 or listed 6th/7th-gen Core i3 in LGA1151 (Socket H4).
Chipset / controllerIntel C236
Form factorMicro-ATX (9.6 × 9.6 in).
Memory / ECCFour DDR4 slots; up to 64 GB unbuffered ECC UDIMM at DDR4-2400 with supported CPUs.
PCIe topologyOne PCIe 3.0 x8 electrical in x16 mechanical, one PCIe 3.0 x8, one PCIe 3.0 x4 electrical in x8 mechanical.
StorageEight SATA 6 Gb/s via C236 and one M.2 PCIe 3.0 x2 socket.
Network / BMCDual Gigabit Ethernet; IPMI 2.0/KVM and dedicated management LAN.
Firmware / platform supportUse X11SSH-F CPU list and minimum BIOS for supported CPU generation/stepping; firmware for a related model is not a substitute.

Compatibility and revision notes

Use X11SSH-F CPU list and minimum BIOS for supported CPU generation/stepping; firmware for a related model is not a substitute. Populate memory only in the documented module class and channel order; ECC does not make UDIMM/RDIMM classes interchangeable. Check chassis clearance, cooler, power connectors, risers, storage cabling and BMC network isolation against the model manual.

Socket shape and chipset branding alone do not guarantee CPU compatibility. Confirm exact CPU/stepping, minimum BIOS, memory QVL, PCIe lane sharing and board revision before service.

Preservation and repair

Record PCB silk-screen, serial label, BIOS/BMC versions, MAC addresses, attached risers and cables, and test conditions. Use ESD-safe handling and the vendor socket procedure; never apply firmware for a visually similar SKU.
