1.4 System Health Monitoring
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 dene 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 ModeDescription
Full SpeedUse this mode to set fan speed at full speed for maximum system cooling
StandardUse this mode to set fan speed for normal system cooling
Heavy I/OUse this mode to set fan speed for higher PCI-E add-on card area cooling
OptimalUse this mode to set fan speed for normal PCI-E add-on card area cooling
PUE2Use this mode to set fan speed for best power efciency 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-dened 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 airow 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 congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Chapter 1: Introduction
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 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.

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 identied 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.

Chapter 2: Installation
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.

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.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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 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
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: 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.

3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (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.

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 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>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process.

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.

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).
