1-4 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.
1-5 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: +1.8V, +3.3V, +5V, +/- 12V, +3.3V Stby, +5V
Stby, VBAT, HT, Memory PCH Temperature, System Temperature, and
Memory Temperature. 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal
Management via SIO.
Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time
and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature
exceeds a user-dened threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the thermal sensor detects that the CPU
temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to
prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry
can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when the
chassis temperature is too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to
provide adequate airow to your system.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-5
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor 6
in the Windows and Linux operating systems. SuperDoctor is used to
notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also
congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system
temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond
predened thresholds.
1-6 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI
specication denes 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 conguration 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.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will
start to blink to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user
presses any key, the CPU will "wake up," and the LED will automatically
stop blinking and remain on.
1-6
Supermicro C9Z390-PGW Motherboard User’s Manual
1-7 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.
This motherboard accommodate a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the
CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connector
located at JPW2 is also required to ensure adequate power supply to the
system. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Attention! To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use power supplies that contain 24-pin and 8-pin
power connectors. Be sure to connect these connectors to the
24-pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the
motherboard.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply
that meets ATX power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also
be SSI compliant. (For more information, please refer to the website
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.
1-8 Super I/O
The Super I/O supports one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication port (UART). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a
programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability
and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with
a baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud
rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Con-
guration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and
ACPI power management through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also
features auto power management to reduce power consumption.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To
avoid damaging your system board, it is important to handle it very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufcient 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.
Chapter 2: Installation

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Attention! When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Important:
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before
adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make
sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before
you install the CPU heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-
certied multi-directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before
you install the CPU heatsink.
When receiving a server board without a processor pre-installed,
make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none
of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer
immediately.
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
Load Lever
Installing the LGA1151 Processor
1. Press the load lever to release the load plate, which covers the CPU
socket, from its locking position.

2. Gently lift the load lever to open the load plate. Remove the plastic cap.
3. Use your thumb and your index nger to hold the CPU at the North
center edge and the South center edge of the CPU.
4. Align the small triangle marker on the CPU to its corresponding triangle marker on the load bracket. Once it is aligned, carefully lower
the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do not drop the CPU on the
socket, or move it horizontally or vertically.)

Attention! You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direc-
tion. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before
closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it
may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and doublecheck that the CPU is aligned properly.

5. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the
socket to avoid damaging the CPU or the socket.)
6. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU
to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.
7. Use your thumb to gently push the load lever down to the lever
lock.
8. Close the load plate with the CPU inside the socket. Lock the "Close
1st" lever rst, then lock the "Open 1st" lever second. Gently push
the load levers down to the lever locks.

Supermicro C9Z390-PGW Motherboard User’s Manual
Installing an Active CPU Heatsink with Fan
1. Apply the proper amount of thermal grease to the heatsink.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mount-
ing holes on the heatsink are aligned with those on the retention
mechanism.
3. Tighten the screws in the following order:
Note: Screw #1 is not shown in the illustration.
Note: Graphic drawings included in this manual are for reference
