1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the H11DSU-iN motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard chip that supports system health monitoring. 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.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can
adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings
of these voltage levels are all displayed in BMC.
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.
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.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5®. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the
user of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you
with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds
go beyond a predened range.
1.5 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 computer system including its hardware, operating system
and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as 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 8/R2 and Windows 2012/R2 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. 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.
1.7 Super I/O
The Super I/O (Aspeed AST2500 chip) includes a data separator, write pre-compensation
circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and
interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly
reduces the number of components required for interfacing with oppy disk drives.
The Super I/O provides one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication port
(UART), which supports serial infrared communication. This UART includes a 16-byte send/
receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and
a processor interrupt system. This UART provides legacy speed with 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 Conguration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI
or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be exibly adjusted to meet
ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).

Installation
2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your
motherboard, 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 that your chassis provides excellent conductivity be-
tween the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specied by the manufacturer. Do
not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in a possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking
the motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
2.2 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 the motherboard and the chassis match.
Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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.

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan.
Important:
• For the Processor/Heatsink installation you need to use a T20 screwdriver when opening/
closing the CPU socket.
• 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 motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.
• When receiving a motherboard 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.

motherboard. Check all jumper settings as well. (Make sure that the heatsink is fully
seated.)
7. Use the correct type of onboard CMOS battery (CR2032) as recommended by the
manufacturer. To avoid possible explosion, do not install the CMOS battery upside down.
No Power
1. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chassis.
2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Check that 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 verify 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, remove all the add-on cards and cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A for details on
beep codes.
Note: If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recommended.
For I/O port 80h codes, refer to Appendix B.
System Boot Failure
If the system does not display POST (Power-On-Self-Test) or does not respond after the
power is turned on, check the following:
1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.
• If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules installed. If there
is still no error beep, replace the motherboard.
• If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and
contacting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). Refer to chapter 2.
2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make
sure that system power is on and that memory error beeps are activated.
3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system boots, check for
bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors Troubleshooting procedure
in this Chapter.
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. Conrm that you are using the correct memory. Also, it is recommended that you use
the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2.4 for
memory details.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting
the results.
4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.
Losing the System's Setup Conguration
1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply
may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 1.5 for
details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies
~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
3. If the above steps do not x the setup conguration problem, contact your vendor for
repairs.
When the System Becomes Unstable
A. If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the following:
1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported and that you have the latest
BIOS installed in your system.
2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing the
modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.
Note: Refer to the product page on our website at http:\\www.supermicro.com for memory
and CPU support and updates.
3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the
bad HDDs with good ones.
4. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and CPU/
system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings in the IPMI
to make sure that the CPU and system temperatures are within the normal range. Also
check the front panel Overheat LED and make sure that it is not on.
5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power to
the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected. Please refer to our
website for more information on the minimum power requirements.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.
B. If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the following:
1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working
properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD and CD/DVD-ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (but
with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the
steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting procedures.
4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a component in
question from the chassis, and test it in isolation to make sure that it works properly.
Replace a bad component with a good one.
5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several items at the
same time. This will help isolate and identify the problem.
6. To nd out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to see if the
system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad. You can also install the
component in question in another system. If the new system works, the component is
good and the old system has problems.
3.2 Technical Support Procedures
Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that as a
motherboard manufacturer, we do not sell directly to end-users, so it is best to rst check with
your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible
problem(s) with the specic system conguration that was sold to you.
1. Please review the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked Questions'
(FAQs) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website before contacting
Technical Support.

3.3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The H11DSU-iN motherboard supports up to 4 TB of ECC DDR4 2400/2666 MHz
speed, RDIMM/LRDIMM/3DS/NVDIMM memory in thirty-two (32) slots. See Section 2.4 for
details on installing memory.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: It is recommended that you do not 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. Please check our BIOS warning message and the information on how to
update your BIOS on our website. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS
le to your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer
than your BIOS before downloading. You can choose from the zip le and the .exe le. If
you choose the zip BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable USB device. Run
the batch le using the format FLASH.BAT lename.rom from your bootable USB device to
ash the BIOS. Then, your system will automatically reboot.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode
setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities
as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is
enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the rst screen
that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for
more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature is required to implement the
ACPI features on the motherboard.

4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the H11DSU-iN motherboard. The
BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a ash program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted
and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual Download area of
our website for any changes to BIOS that may not be reected in this manual.
Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up. (In
most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the 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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be congured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be congured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or
change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in Bold are the default values.
A "
" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key will
open the list of settings within that submenu.
The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these
hot keys (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time
during the setup navigation process.
4.2 Main Setup
When you rst enter the AMI BIOS setup utility, you will enter the Main setup screen. You can
always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen. The
Main BIOS setup screen is shown below. The following Main menu items will be displayed:

Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery

Appendix C
UEFI BIOS Recovery
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. Doing so may cause a boot failure.
C.1 Overview
The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface
between the operating system and the platform rmware in the pre-boot environment.
The UEFI specication 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 the
system. The UEFI offers clean, hands-off control to a computer system at bootup.
C.2 Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image
A UEFI BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block 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 it 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, if the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures
below for BIOS recovery.
C.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device without
the need for additional utilities. A USB ash device such as a USB ash drive or a USB CD/
DVD device can be used for this purpose. A USB hard disk drive cannot be used for BIOS
recovery at this time.
The le system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) installed on
a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. Note that the BIOS might need several
minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM le if the media size becomes too large because it contains
too many folders and les.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.
Note: On the other hand, if the following screen displays, please load the "Super.ROM" le
to the root folder and connect this folder to the system. (You can do so by inserting a USB
device that contains the new "Super.ROM" image to your machine for BIOS recovery.)
1. Using a different system, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the disc Root "\"
Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.
Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your driver disk, visit our website at www.
supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB ash device and rename it "Super.
ROM".
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB
drive and power on the system.
Warning: Please stop pressing the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys immediately when you see the
screen (or a similar screen) below; otherwise, it will trigger a system reboot.

3. While powering on the system, please keep pressing <Ctrl> and <Home> simultaneously
on your keyboard until the following screen (or a screen similar to the one below)
displays.
4. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery
menu as shown below.
Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start the BIOS recovery. If you decide to
proceed with BIOS recovery, follow the procedures below.
Note: Do not interrupt the BIOS ashing process until it has completed.
6. After the BIOS recovery process has completed, press any key to reboot the system.
7. Using a different system, extract the BIOS package into a bootable USB ash drive.
8. When a DOS prompt appears, enter FLASH.BAT BIOSname.### at the prompt.
Note: Do not interrupt this process until the BIOS ashing is complete.
9. After seeing the message that BIOS update has completed, unplug the AC power cable
from the power supply, clear CMOS, then plug the AC power cable in the power supply
again to power on the system.
10. Press <Del> continuously to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
11. Press <F3> to load the default settings.
12. After loading the default settings, press <F4> to save the settings and exit the BIOS
Setup utility.
5. When the screen as shown above displays, use the arrow keys to select the item
"Proceed with ash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the BIOS recovery
progress as shown in the screen below.
