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.

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 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.

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.

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.

DIMM Module Population Sequence

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order:
DIMMA2, then DIMMB2, DIMMA1, and then DIMMB1.

• Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same type and speed.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the

slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed).

However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs to activate memory
interleaving.
