This section describes the health monitoring features of the M11SDV-4C/4CT/8C/8CT/8C+-LN4F motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports system health monitoring.
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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings
of these voltage levels are all displayed in BIOS.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The system health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled by BIOS Thermal Management through the back panel. Refer to the below table for available fan modes to choose the most appropriate one for nominal operation.
Fan Mode Description
Full Speed Use this mode to set fan speed at full speed for maximum system cooling
Standard Use this mode to set fan speed for normal system cooling
Heavy I/O Use this mode to set fan speed for higher PCI-E add-on card area cooling
Optimal Use this mode to set fan speed for normal PCI-E add-on card area cooling
PUE2 Use this mode to set fan speed for best power efciency and maximum noise reduction
Environmental Temperature Control
System health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the temperature of the CPU or
the system exceeds a user-dened threshold, system/CPU cooling fans will be turned on to
prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please provide adequate airow to your
system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5® in the Windows OS or in the Linux environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,
you can congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication denes 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 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.
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 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.
Note: The M11SDV-4C/4CT/8C/8CT/8C+-LN4F motherboard supports either 12V DC in power input or ATX power input. The 12V DC IN power input requires an 8-pin 12V DC IN connection to the JPV1 header. ATX power input requires an 8-pin 12V connections to JPV1 header and PJ1 a 4-pin power connector of an ATX power supply by power cable (24-pin ATX to 4-pin power cable for PJ1, Supermicro P/N: CBL-PWEX-1063). PJ1 allows motherboard control of the 5VStby, power on, power good, and ground signals from the ATX power supply.

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
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 motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
22
Chapter 2: Installation
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.

2.7 Jumper Settings
How Jumpers Work
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. See the diagram
below for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.
Note: On two-pin jumpers, Closed means the jumper is on the pins and Open means the jumper is off.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear the CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.
To Clear CMOS:
1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. Remove the cover of the chassis to access the motherboard.
3. Remove the onboard battery and the external CMOS battery installed on J18.
4. Short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver for at least four seconds.
5. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
6. Install the batteries, the cover, reconnect the power cord(s), and power on the system.
Note: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes are present. Refer to Appendix A for details on beep codes.
55
Super M11SDV-4C/4CT/8C/8CT/8C+-LN4F User's Manual
System Boot Failure
If the system does not display POST 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 con-
tacting both pads on the CMOS clear jumper (JBT1). (Refer to Section 2-8 in 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
When a no-memory beep code is issued by the system, check the following:
1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that the DIMMs are properly and fully installed. Click on the Tested Memory List link on the motherboard product page to see a list of supported memory.
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of ECC DDR4 RDIMM, UDIMM, and LRDIMM modules recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among all memory slots and check the results.
5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.
6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM population tables listed in Section 2-3 to install your memory modules.
56
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Losing the System's Setup Conguration
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 2-6 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. If the above steps do not x the setup conguration 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: Click on the Tested Memory List link on the motherboard product page to see a list of supported memory.
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.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working properly.
57
Super M11SDV-4C/4CT/8C/8CT/8C+-LN4F User's Manual
3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (but
with the 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.

Chapter 4: BIOS
Chapter 4
UEFI BIOS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the M11SDV-8C-LN4F 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 reected 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 congured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be congured. 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.

IPMI Extended Instruction
The options of this feature are Enabled and Disabled. When this feature is Disabled, the system powers on quickly by removing BIOS support for IPMI extended instruction features. The boot up time is faster when the option is Disabled. When this feature is disabled, the user cannot use Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) OOB (out of band) to update the BIOS, nor utilize the extended IPMI features such as AOC and PCIe sensor readings, and the BMC
network conguration in the BIOS setup is also disabled. The general BMC functions like
fan control and motherboard health monitor that offer the basic sensor reading of the CPU, system memory, and some onboard devices still function. The user can use Supermicro IPMI
utilities such as IPMICFG and IPMIVIEW for sensor readings and to know what the normal
sensor output information is. The user needs to wait for one minute after the system powers on completely to obtain readings from those two sensors.

A.1 BIOS Error POST (Beep) Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed upon each system boot, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue to boot. These error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue with bootup. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.
BIOS Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error Message Description
1 beep Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in system
5 long, 2 short Display memory read/write error Video adapter missing or with faulty memory
1 long continuous System OH System overheat condition

A.2 Additional BIOS POST Codes
The AMI BIOS supplies additional checkpoint codes, which are documented online at http://
www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ ("AMI BIOS POST Codes User's Guide").
When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port 0080h. If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h (Supermicro p/n AOM-SPI80-V).
For information on AMI updates, please refer to http://www.ami.com/products/.
