1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

The H11SSL Motherboard Series motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for high performance computing, NVMe storage solutions, and ideal for High Density Data Center applications.

The H11SSL Motherboard Series supports the new microarchitecture 14 nm process technology, which drastically increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.

The EPYC 7001/7002 supports the following features:

•ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 6.1

•Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring

•PCI-E 3.0, SATA 3.0 w/transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s

•System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification Version 2.0

1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the H11SSL Motherboard Series. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health monitoring.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section for this setting. The default setting is Last State.

18

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4 System Health Monitoring

This section describes the health monitoring features of the H11SSL Motherboard Series motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) 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 define 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 define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in BMC.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

Users can check the RPM status of the cooling fans through the IPMI Web interface. The 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-defined 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 airflow 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 configure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.

1.5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands forAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface. TheACPI specification defines a flexible 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 configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with Windows 2012/R2 and Windows 2016 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 filter 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 ASpeed AST2500 Super I/O provides one high-speed, 16550 compatible Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), which support serial infrared communications. This UART includes a 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 Configuration and Power

Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through the System Management Interrupt (SMI) or System Control Interrupt (SCI). It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com­ponents. To prevent damage to your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient 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 between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.

•Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specified 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 fit 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.

2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

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 anAMD-certified 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.

Installing the Processor and Heatsink
