6Solid State Storage
This motherboard supports internally mounted solid state storage cards by means of three M.2 slots.
When an M.2 NVMe storage card is installed, an accompanying heatsink (optional) must also be
installed to prevent the card from overheating.

6.1.1 Installing an M.2 Card
1. Gently insert the M.2 card into the connector.
2. Use a screw to secure the M.2 card to the standoff.
7Driver Installation
The Supermicro website contains drivers and utilities for your system at:
https://www.supermicro.com/wdl/driver/
Some of these must be installed, such as the chipset driver.
After accessing the website, go to https://www.supermicro.com/wdl/CDR_Images/ and locate the ISO
file for your motherboard. Download this file to a USB flash drive or a DVD. (You may also use a
utility to extract the ISO file if preferred.)
Another option is to go to the Supermicro website at http://www.supermicro.com/products/. Find
the product page for your motherboard, and "Download the Latest Drivers and Utilities".
Insert the flash drive or disk and the screenshot shown below should appear.
Note: Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the readme files for each item. Click
the computer icons to the right of these items to install each item (from top to the bottom) one at a
time. After installing each item, you must re-boot the system before moving on to the next item on
the list. The bottom icon with a CD on it allows you to view the entire contents.

export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<the secret access key for your user>
Download the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software
Install the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software
11 Create a “Hello World”component
A component is a software module that runs on AWS IoT Greengrass core devices. Components
enable you to create and manage complex applications as discrete building blocks that you can
reuse from one Greengrass core device to another. Every component is composed of a recipe and
artifacts.
11.1 Create the component on your edge device
Follow the instructions online under the section Develop and test a component on your device to
create a simple component on your device.
11.2 Upload the “Hello World”component
Follow the instructions online at Create your component in the AWS IoT Greengrass service to
upload your component to the cloud, where it can be deployed to other devices as needed.
11.3 Deploy your component
Follow the instructions online at Deploy your component to deploy and verify that your
component is running.
