frequency, or selecting a high CPU V-Core voltage, memory voltage, chipset volt-
age, ICH chipset voltage, or an FSB termination voltage may cause the system
to become unstable. If this occurs, reset the setting to the default setting. In ad-
dition, extra fans may be needed for proper system cooling. The PDSLA/PDSLE
offers the option of overclocking; however, Supermicro is not responsible for any
damage caused by the use of overclocking.

PDSLA/PDSLE User’s Manual
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSLA/PDSLE.
The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine 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 hit the power switch to turn it back
on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control
setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-
ting is Last State.
Onboard Voltage Monitoring
The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU
Core, Chipset Core +1.5V, +3.3V, +3.3V standby, +5V, +5V Standby, Vbat and
±12V. 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 defi ne the sen-
sitivity of the voltage monitor by using SD III.
Fan Status Monitor with Software
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero
Doctor III.
Fan Fail Alert
When a fan fails during the normal operation, the Fan Fail LED will start to blink
and the buzzer will be activated to indicate a fan failure.
CPU Overheat LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables CPU overheat warning in the BIOS.
This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When this temperature
reaches the pre-defi ned overheat threshold, the CPU thermal trip feature will be
activated and it will send a signal to the Speaker LED and, at the same time, the
CPU will slow down.
1-10
Page 17
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-4 Power Confi guration Settings
This section describes the features of your motherboard
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking
to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the
CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, the keyboard will function
like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system
suspend button. When the user presses the power button, the system will enter
a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.
Pressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the
SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry
in the system "alive". In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the
power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off
and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
Wake-On-Ring (WOR) Header
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as an external modem ringing
when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only
be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
1-5 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 of 1 GHz and faster.
1-11
Page 18
PDSLA/PDSLE User’s Manual
The
most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some
are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V
4-pin power connection (J41) be used for high-load confi gurations. In areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi 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.
PDSLA/PDSLE accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although
1-6 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a fl oppy disk drive
controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator,
write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera-
tor, 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 fl oppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two 360 K,
720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s,
500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.
It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports
(UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART includes
a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete
modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide
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 Confi guration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment 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 fl exibly adjusted
to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power
Management).

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage done to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The
following steps are generally suffi 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 that your computer chassis provides excel-
lent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners
and the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specifi ed by the Manufac-
turer. Do not install the CMOS onboard battery upside down to avoid a possible
explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
Installation Procedures
Follow the procedures listed below to install the motherboard into a chassis:
1. Install the processor and the heatsink to the motherboard.
2. Install the motherboard in the chassis.
3. Install the memory modules and add-on cards.
4. Finally, connect cables and install the drivers.

2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Note: The CPU heatsink is included in Intel's CPU retail package.
Installation of the LGA775 Processor
IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
1. Press the socket lever to release
the load plate, which covers the CPU
socket, from its locking position.
2. Gently lift the socket lever to open
the load plate.

3. Locate Pin 1 on the CPU socket. (Note:
Pin 1 is the corner marked with a triangle).
Please note that the North Key and the
South Key are located vertically in the
CPU housing.
4. Position the motherboard in such a way
that Pin 1 of the CPU socket is located at
the left bottom of the CPU housing.
5. Use your thumb and your index fi nger to
hold the CPU at the North Center Edge and
the South Center Edge of the CPU.
6. Align Pin 1 of the CPU with Pin 1 of the
socket. Once aligned, carefully lower the
CPU straight down to the socket. (**Do not
drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move
the CPU horizontally or vertically. Do not
rub the CPU against the surface or against
any pins of the socket to avoid damage to
the CPU or the socket.)

8. Use your thumb to gently push the lever
down and lock it in the hook.
9. If the CPU is properly installed into the
socket, the plastic cap will be automatically
released from the load plate when the lever
is pushed into the hook. Remove the plastic
cap from the motherboard.

Installation of the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan on the motherboard.
(Refer to the layout on Page 1-4 for the
CPU Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink in such a way that
the heatsink fan wires are closest to the
CPU fan and are not interfered with other
component. 3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires
to make sure that the wires are routed
through the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the protective
fi lm from the copper core of the heatsink.
(*Warning: CPU overheat may occur if the
protective fi lm is not removed from the
heatsink.)
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal
grease on the CPU. (*Note: if your heatsink
came with a thermal pad, please ignore
this step.)
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires to make
sure that the wires are not pinched between
the heatsink and the CPU. Also make sure
to keep clearance between the fan wires
and the fi ns of the heatsink.
7. Align the four heatsink fasteners with the
mounting holes on the motherboard. Gently
push the fasteners into the mounting holes
until you hear a "click".
8. Repeat Step 6 to insert all four heatsink
fasteners into the mounting holes.

2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi 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 the metal standoffs click in or are screwed
in tightly. Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard
tray. Since some components are located very close to the mounting holes, please
take precautionary measures needed to prevent the components from being dam-
aged when you install the motherboard into the chassis.
Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes, please take all
precautionary measures to prevent damage done the these components when
mounting the motherboard to the chassis.

2-4 Installing DDR2 Memory
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules
to prevent any possible damage.
Memory Module Installation
1. Insert each DDR2 memory module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incor-
rectly. (See support information below.)
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Support
The PDSLA/PDSLE supports Single/Dual channel, unbuffered, non-ECC,
DDR2 667/533/400 SDRAM. Populating DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or
DIMM#2A, DIMM#2B with memory modules of the same size and the same
type will result in dual channel, two-way interleaved memory which is faster
than single channel, non-interleaved memory.
Note: Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory remaining available
for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in
memory availability is disproportional. (Refer to the Memory Availability Table below
for details.

Chapter 2: Installation
Front Panel Audio
When front panel headphones are plugged in, the back panel audio output is disabled.
This is done through the FP Audio header (J12). If the front panel interface card is
not connected to the front panel audio header, jumpers should be installed on the
header (J12) pin pairs: 1-2, 5-6, and 9-10. If these jumpers are not installed, the
back panel Line-out connector will be disabled and microphone input Pin 1 will be
left fl oating, which can result in excessive back panel microphone noise and cross
talk. See the table below for pin defi nitions.

Fan Headers
There are three fan headers (Fan
1, Fan 2 and Fan3) on the PDSLA/
PDSLE. These are 4-pin fan headers;
however, the traditional 3-wire fans
are also supported. (Pins #1-#3 of the
fan headers are backward compatible
with the traditional 3-pin fans.) When
a 3-wire fan is used, it will be set to
run at the full speed by default. When
a 4-wire fan is used, the CPU and
chassis fan speeds will be automati-
cally controlled by the control circuit
inside the fan based upon the CPU
temperature. (See the table on the
right for pin defi nitions.)
Chassis Intrusion
The Chassis Intrusion header is locat-
ed at JL1. See the board layout below
for the location of JL1 and the table on
the right for pin defi nitions.

2-7 Jumper Settings
Explanation of
Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, 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 identifi ed with a square solder
pad on the printed circuit board. See
the motherboard layout pages for
jumper locations.
Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
Pins 1-2 short
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.
CMOS Clear
JBT1 is not actually a jumper but consists of two contact pads. To clear the contents
of CMOS, short these pads together by touching them both with a metal conductor
such as the head of a small screwdriver. JBT1 is located near the SATA header on
the PDSLA/PDSLE. Note: for ATX power supplies, you must completely shut down
the system and remove the AC power cord before clearing CMOS.

(*Default)
Use JPUSB jumpers to enable the function
of "System Wake-Up via USB devices",
which allows you to "wake-up" the system by
pressing a key on the USB keyboard or by
clicking the USB mouse of your system. The
JPUSB jumpers are used together with the
USB Wake-Up function in the BIOS. Enable
both the jumpers and the BIOS setting to al-
low the system to wake-up via USB devices.
See the table on the right for jumper settings
and jumper connections. (Note: JPUSB1 is
for Back Panel USB ports:1/2/3/4/5/6, and
JPUSB2 is for Front Panel USB ports:7/8.)
(Note: The default jumper setting for the USB
ports is "Disabled". However, when the "USB
Wake-Up" function is enabled in the BIOS
and the desired USB ports are enabled via
the JPUSB jumper, please be sure to remove
all USB devices from the USB ports whose
USB jumpers are set to Disabled before the
system goes into the standby mode.)

Introduction to Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA(SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with a mini-
mum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. It is a serial
link which supports SATA Transfer rates from 150MBps. The second generation
SATA can support up to 300 MBps theoretically. Because the serial cables used
in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA(PATA), SATA
systems have better airfl ow and can be installed in smaller chassis than Parallel
ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40cm long, while
Serial ATA cables can extend up to one meter. Overall, Serial ATA provides better
functionality than Parallel ATA.
Introduction to the Intel ICH7 I/O Controller Hub
Located in the South Bridge of the Intel Lakeport (945G/P) chipset, the ICH7 I/O
Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system.
It supports 1-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and four
Serial ATA (SATA) Second Generation Host Controllers, which support up to four
Serial ATA ports and four hard drives. The ICH7 I/O Controller Hub supports the
following Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial (SATA) device confi gurations:
SATA Operation Modes
You can select from the following SATA modes: Auto, Combined, Enhanced, and
SATA Only Mode. The number of devices supported by these modes are listed
below:
SATA Only: The maximum of 4 devices are supported (4 SATA)
•
Auto Mode: The maximum of 6 devices supported (4 SATA + 2 IDE)
•
Enhanced Mode: The maximum of 6 devices supported (4 SATA + 2 IDE)
•
Combined Mode: The maximum of 4 devices supported (2 SATA + 2 IDE)
•

Supero Doctor III
The Supero Doctor III program is a Web-based management tool that supports
remote system management. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The
local management is called SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on
the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment
and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information
such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the graphics below
for the displays of the Supero Doctor III interface.
Note 1: The default user name and password are ADMIN.
Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-
cedence over the BIOS settings. When fi rst installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the
temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent changes
to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings
override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature
threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set
in the BIOS.

Troubleshooting
3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures
Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all
of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support
Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter.
Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any
hardware components.
Before Power On
1. Check if the Standby Power LED is not lit (LE1 on motherboard).
2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chas-
sis.
3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the
keyboard and mouse.
4. Remove all add-on cards.
5. Install a CPU and heatsink (-making sure it is fully seated) and connect the
chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper
settings as well.
6. Make sure the 4-pin 12v power connector at J41 is connected to your power
supply.
No Power
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and the
chassis.
2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Make sure 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.
3-1
Page 50
PDSLA/PDSLE User's Manual
NOTE
If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics
card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B.
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. You should be using unbuffered DDRII memory. Also, it is recommended that
you use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section
2-4 for memory limitations.
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 Confi 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 1-6 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.
3. If the above steps do not fi x the Setup Confi guration problem, contact your
vendor for repairs.
3-2 Technical Support Procedures
Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that
as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro does not sell directly to end-users, so
it is best to fi rst check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services.
They should know of any possible problem(s) with the specifi c system confi guration
that was sold to you.
1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked Ques-
tion' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our web site (
www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/
) before contacting Technical Support.

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The PDSLA/PDSLE supports unbuffered, non-ECC, DDR2-400/533/667
MHz memory modules. See Section 2-4 for details on installing memory.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not experiencing
any problems with your system. Updated BIOS fi les are located on our web site at
http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS warning message
and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Select your moth-
erboard model and download the BIOS fi le to your computer. Also, check the current
BIOS revision and make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before downloading.
You can choose from the zip fi le and the .exe fi le. If you choose the zip BIOS fi le,
please unzip the BIOS fi le onto a bootable device or a USB pen. Run the batch fi le
using the format fl ash.bat fi lename.rom from your bootable device or USB pen to
fl ash the BIOS. Then, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe
fi le, please run the .exe fi le under Windows to create the BIOS fl ash fl oppy disk.
Insert the fl oppy disk into the system you wish to fl ash the BIOS. Then, bootup the
system to the fl oppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically fl ash the BIOS without
any prompts. Please note that this process may take a few minutes to complete.
Do not be concerned if the screen is paused for a few minutes.
Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will
greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install
the applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for the
Windows OS, security and audio drivers.
3-3
Page 52
PDSLA/PDSLE User's Manual
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 But-
ton Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have
instant off capability as long as the BIOS has the 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 fi 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.
Question: How do I utilize the six-channel sound?
Answer: The six-channel sound available on the PDSLA/PDSLE can be enabled
with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard package.
When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks under the Game Port as
follows: Line Out = front L&R speakers, Line In = rear L&R speakers, MIC = center
and subwoofer speakers. You must also enable the "AC97 Audio" setting in the
Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS setup.
Question: I installed my microphone correctly but I can't record any sound.
What should I do?
Answer: Go to <Start>, <Programs>, <Accessories>, <Entertainment> and then
<Volume Control>. Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of devices in the
menu and check the box beside "Microphone".
Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)?
Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with your
system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be used
to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect the blue
connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s) to your hard
drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive for details on
actual jumper locations and settings.
Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS
only detect about 3.145 GB of memory during POST?
Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E
memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located around
the 4GB memory address.
Question: I have already enabled the USB Wake-Up mode in the BIOS, my

BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AwardBIOS for the PDSLA/PDSLE. The Award ROM
BIOS is stored in a Flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a fl oppy disk-
based 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. Refer to the Manual Download
area of our web site for any changes to BIOS not refl ected in this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and
PS/2® compatible computers. The AwardBIOS Flash chip stores the system pa-
rameters, such as amount of memory, type of disk drives and video displays, etc.
CMOS requires very little power. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery
provides power to the BIOS Flash chip, enabling it to retain the system parameters.
Each time the computer is powered-on, the computer is then confi gured with the
values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control when the
computer is powered on.
How To Change the Confi guration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed
by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As
the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the
BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens,
such as the Chipset and Power menus. Section 4-3 gives detailed descriptions of
each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

When you fi rst power on the computer, the AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after turning the system on, or
2. When the following message appears briefl y at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test), press the <Del> key to activate
the Main Setup Menu.
