The SNK-P00A4 active heatsink may only be used on specific motherboards, due
to its larger 4" x 4" size. This is particularly important in systems utilizing Intel
Celeron 400 series platforms. To ascertain which heatsink is appropriate for your
motherboard, refer to the Supermicro Web site at http://www.supermicro.com.
Extending Power Cables
Although Supermicro chassis are designed with to be efficient and cost-effective,
some compatible motherboards have power connectors located in different areas.
To use these motherboards you may have to extend the power cables to the mother
boards. To do this, use the following chart as a guide.
Power Cable Extenders
Number of Pins Cable Part # Length
24 pin CBL - 0042 7.9”(20 CM)
20 pin CBL - 0059 7.9”(20 CM)
8 pin CBL - 0062 7.9”(20 CM)
4 pin CBL - 0060 7.9”(20 CM)
Front Panel to the Motherboard
