Supermicro Carrier Board E1B for LGA 4677 with Shim (model SKT-1424L-001B-FXC)

Supermicro Carrier Board E1B for LGA 4677 with Shim is a platform board designed to host Intel LGA 4677 processors and provide proper mechanical alignment and electrical connectivity for server or workstation builds. Supplied with a shim, the carrier board ensures correct CPU mounting height and heatspreader support, simplifying integration when assembling or servicing systems that use the LGA 4677 socket format.

Advantages

The carrier board is built to meet the physical and electrical requirements of LGA 4677 processors, offering stable socket mounting, reinforced CPU support via the included shim, and compatibility with standard carrier-board mounting points. Its design focuses on reliable mechanical alignment, durability during repeated CPU insertions and removals, and straightforward installation in integration, test, or repair workflows.

Suitable for

• System integrators assembling servers or workstations using Intel LGA 4677 CPUs
• Repair and maintenance operations requiring correct CPU seating and shim support
• OEM production lines and small-batch assembly where carrier boards are needed for testing
• Laboratory and validation environments for CPU compatibility and mechanical fit testing

Key specifications

• Socket type: LGA 4677-compatible carrier board
• Included accessory: CPU shim for load plate and heatspreader support
• Form factor: carrier board layout for server/workstation integration
• Mounting: standard carrier-board mounting points for chassis or test fixtures
• Connectivity: platform-level electrical interfaces to host CPU signals (power and PCIe lanes depend on installed CPU and system design)

How to use

Place the carrier board into the target chassis or test fixture following the platform mounting points. Install the CPU onto the LGA 4677 socket, ensuring correct orientation, then position the supplied shim to support the CPU heatspreader and secure the load plate or retention mechanism according to the server or workstation assembly procedure. Connect power delivery and platform cables as required for the hosting system and follow standard procedures for thermal solution installation and system firmware configuration.

Recommendations

Handle the LGA 4677 socket and CPU with ESD protection and avoid excessive force when seating the processor. Use the supplied shim to maintain correct mechanical height and ensure reliable contact; confirm that any cooling solution is compatible with the shim and the board's mounting points before applying torque to retention hardware.
