Supermicro X11SSM-F
Micro-ATX LGA1151/C236 board with Xeon E3 support, ECC UDIMM, dual GbE and IPMI. This record is restricted to the exact printed SKU; confirm the physical PCB revision before installation or firmware service.
MODEL / REVISION: X11SSM-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 / SKU | Supermicro X11SSM-F — exact product suffix retained; verify PCB revision from board silkscreen. |
|---|---|
| PCB revision | The 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 / platform | One Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 or listed 6th/7th-gen Core i3 in LGA1151 (Socket H4). |
| Chipset / controller | Intel C236 |
| Form factor | Micro-ATX. |
| Memory / ECC | Four DDR4 slots; up to 64 GB unbuffered ECC UDIMM at DDR4-2400 on supported CPUs. |
| PCIe topology | One PCIe 3.0 x8 electrical in x16 mechanical, one PCIe 3.0 x8, two PCIe 3.0 x4 electrical in x8 mechanical. |
| Storage | Eight SATA 6 Gb/s through C236 and one M.2 socket; manual defines PCIe/SATA mode. |
| Network / BMC | Dual Intel i210 Gigabit LAN; IPMI 2.0/KVM and dedicated management LAN. |
| Firmware / platform support | Use X11SSM-F CPU list and minimum BIOS. Confirm stepping, ECC UDIMM support and chassis mount; no family-name firmware substitution. |
Compatibility and revision notes
Use X11SSM-F CPU list and minimum BIOS. Confirm stepping, ECC UDIMM support and chassis mount; no family-name firmware substitution. 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.
