1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine how the system will

respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose

for the system to remain powered off, (in which case you must press the power

switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See

the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is

Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an

onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An

onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: +3.3V, +5V,

+12V, +3.3V Stby, +5V Stby, VBAT, CPU voltage, Memory voltage, CPU voltage

System Temp., Memory Temp. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is

given, or an error message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage

thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Environmental Temperature Control

This motherboard came with a passive heatsink built_in. Please follow the instruc-

tions given in your system design guide or your system user manual to provide

proper/adequate airow to your system. The onboard BaseBoard Management

Controller (BMC) monitors CPU, memory and motherboard environment tempera-

tures for fan control and PC health management.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide

adequate airow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor® 5 in the

Windows OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor

is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also

congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,

CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened thresholds.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-11

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-

tion denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard

way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including

its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system

to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard

disk drives and printers.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also

provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating

system-independent interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and

Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent

implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008

Operating Systems.

1-6 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and

reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU

clock rates.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX

power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more

information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in

areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line

lter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a

power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid dam-

aging your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following

measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in

use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard

battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

Waarschuwing

De uiteindelijke verwijdering van dit product dient te geschieden in overeenstemming

met alle nationale wetten en reglementen.

Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, please do

not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard

installation. 2) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take

precautionary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the

motherboard to the chassis.

2-3 Motherboard Installation

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.

Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and

chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-

teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard

to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.

Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose

between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change

the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identied with a square solder pad on the

printed circuit board.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on, and "Open"

means the jumper is off the pins.

CMOS Clear

P1-JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of

contact pads to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a

metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to

short the connection. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before

clearing CMOS.

Note 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the sys-

tem, remove the AC power cord, and then short P1-JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short

P1-JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 3: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Troubleshooting

3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all

of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support

Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter.

Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any

hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that the Standby PWR LED is not on. (Note: If it is on, the onboard

power is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or removing

the components.)

2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chassis.

3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the

keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

No Power

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check if the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to make sure that it still

supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video, you will need to remove all the add-

on cards and cables rst.

3-2

B1SD1-TF Motherboard User Manual

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A for

details on beep codes.)

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on, check

the specications of memory modules, reset the memory or try a different one.)

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in

the slots.

2. You should be using DDR4 ECC RDIMM of speeds up to 2400MHz memory

recommended by the manufacturer. Also, it is required that you use the memory

modules of the same type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. Do not use

memory modules of different sizes, different speeds, nor different types on the

same motherboard.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to

see if you can locate the faulty ones.

4. Check the switch of 115V/230V power supply.

Losing the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply

may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 1-6

for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup-

plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3. If the above steps do not x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

3-3

RDIMM memory of speeds up to 2400MHz. See Section 2-4 for details on install-

ing memory.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: We do NOT recommend that you upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS les are located on

our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM le to your

computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip le or the .exe le. If you

choose the zipped BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable device or

a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch le named "ami.bat" with

the new BIOS ROM le from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive. Use

the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-lename.xxx <Enter>

Note: Always use the le named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert

a space between "ami.bat" and the BIOS ROM image le name.

If you choose the .exe le, please run the .exe le under Windows to create

the BIOS ash oppy disk. Insert the oppy disk into the system you wish

to ash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the oppy disk. The BIOS util-

ity will automatically ash the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that

this process may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if

the screen is paused for a few minutes.

When the BIOS ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and

will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS

defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system

will then reboot.

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the B1SD1-TF motherboard.

The ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This

chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS setup utility setup screens.

Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery

Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the

system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS

setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as

<F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key

legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:

the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to

include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the

setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow

keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

Appendix C

UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.

Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall

Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages

arising from a BIOS update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset

the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

C-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specication provides a software-

based interface between the operating system and the platform rmware in the

pre-boot environment. The UEFI specication supports an architecture-independent

mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored

in the add-on card, to boot up the system. UEFI offers a clean, hands-off control

to a computer system at bootup.

C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (the Main BIOS Block)

A UEF BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, comprised of two boot

blocks and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains critical

BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to ash

a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system

power is on, the boot block codes execute rst. Once that is completed, the main

BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.

Note: Follow the BIOS Recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery

when the main BIOS boot crashes. However, when the BIOS boot block

crashes, you will need to follow the procedures in Appendix D.

C-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USBAttached Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device

without additional utilities used. A USB ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or

a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB

Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.

Appendix D

Dual Boot Block

D-1 Introduction

This motherboard supports the Dual Boot Block feature, which is the last-ditch

mechanism to recover the BIOS boot block. This section provides an introduction

to the feature.

BIOS Boot Block

A BIOS boot block is the minimum BIOS loader required to enable necessary

hardware components for the BIOS crisis recovery ash that will update the main

BIOS block. An on-call BIOS boot-block corruption may occur due to a software

tool issue (see image below) or an unexpected power outage during BIOS updates.

BIOS Boot Block Corruption Occurrence

When a BIOS boot block is corrupted due to an unexpected power outage or a

software tool malfunctioning during BIOS updates, you can still reboot the system

by closing pins 2 and 3 using a cap on jumper P1-JBR1. When the jumper is set

to pins 2 and 3, the system will boot from a backup boot block pre-loaded in the

BIOS by the manufacturer.
