Page 15

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

The Intel 3000 chipset, designed for use with the Pentium 4 Processor in the LGA

775 Land Grid Array Package, is comprised of two primary components: the Memory

Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7R). In addition, Intel's PCI-X

(PXH-V) is used for added functionality. The PDSMA+ provides the performance

and feature-set required for the high-end UP Server market.

Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

The function of the MCH is to manage the data ﬂ ow between four interfaces: CPU

interface, DDR2 System Memory Interface, PCI Express Interface, and Direct Media

Interface (DMI). The MCH is optimized for the Pentium 4 processor in the LGA775

Land Grid Array Package. It supports one or two channels of DDR2 SDRAM.

The I/O Controller (ICH7R) provides the data buffering and interface arbitration re-

quired for the system to operate efﬁ ciently. It also provides the bandwidth needed

for the system to maintain its peak performance. The Direct Media Interface (DMI)

provides the connection between the MCH and the ICH7R. The ICH7R supports

up to six PCI-Express slots, four Serial ATA ports, six USB 2.0 ports and two IDE

devices. In addition, the ICH7R offers the Intel Matrix Storage Technology which

provides various RAID options for data protection and rapid data access. It also

supports the next generation of client management through the use of PROActive

technology in conjunction with Intel's next generation Gigabit Ethernet controller.

Intel ICH7R System Features

The I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the

system. Functions and capabilities include:

*Advanced Conﬁ guration and Power Interface, Version 2.0 (ACPI)

*Intel I/O External Design Speciﬁ cation (EDS)

*Intel's 3000 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) External Design Speciﬁ cation (EDS)

*Intel I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7R) Thermal Design Guideline

*Intel 82573 Platform LAN Connect (PLC) PCI Design

*Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface

PDSMA+ User’s Manual

1-3 Special Features

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

when the power is restored.) You can also select "Last State" from the Advanced

BIOS Setup section. In this case, the system will be restored to its original state

before the power outage. The default setting is Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSMA+. The

motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC

health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage (+1.5V), Memory Voltage (+1.8V), +3.3V, +3.3V Standby, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, −12V, VTT FSB and VBAT.

The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage

becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen.

The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to deﬁ ne the sensitivity of the voltage

monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Speed Control

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard

fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS.

CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning option

in the BIOS. This allows the user to deﬁ ne an overheat temperature. When this

temperature reaches the 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 speed

will decrease. It will also activate the alarm if a fan failure occurs.

1-10

Page 17

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-5 Power Conﬁ guration Settings

This section describes the features of Power Conﬁ guration and Power Management

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 the suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the

CPU will "wake-up" and the LED will automatically stop blinking and is turned on.

BIOS Support for USB Keyboard

If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it 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.

Press the power button again to "wake-up" the whole system. During the SoftOff

state, the ATX power supply provides power to the required circuitry and keep 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)

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the 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.

Wake-On-LAN (WOL)

Wake-On-LAN is deﬁ ned as the ability of a management application to remotely

power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and asset

tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN trafﬁ c is kept

to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header

(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has

WOL capability. In addition, an onboard LAN controller can also support WOL

without any connection to the WOL header. The 3-pin WOL header is to be used

with a LAN add-on card only.

Note: Wake-On-LAN requires an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.

1-6 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conﬁ guration and Power Interface. The ACPI speciﬁ ca-

tion deﬁ nes a ﬂ exible and abstract hardware interface that integrates power man-

agement features with other components of a PC system, including its hardware,

operating system and application software. This enables the system to automati-

cally turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives

and printers. This also includes other devices connected to the PC such as VCRs,

TVs, telephones and stereos.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI

provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating

system-independent interface for conﬁ guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug

and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-indepen-

dent implementation that is compatible with both Windows and Linux Operating

Systems.

1-7 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.

The

power supplies generally meet the speciﬁ cations required by the CPU, some are

inadequate. A 2 amps 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 ATX power supply Speciﬁ cation 2.02 or above. Also your power supply must

supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. It must also be SSI compliant (info at http://www.

ssiforum.org/). Additionally, 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 recom-

mended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused

by power surges. To provide adequate power supply to the system, the additional

8-pin 12V power is also required.

PDSMA+ accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electro-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent

damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following

measures 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 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

upside down battery to avoid 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.

2-2 Processor and Heatsink Fan Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing

direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

(Notes: 1. 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.

2. Intel's boxed Pentium 4 CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink as-

sembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certiﬁ ed

multi-directional heatsink and fan.

3. The Intel Pentium 4 LGA 775 heatsink and fan comes with a push-pin design

and no tool is needed for installation.

4. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU

heatsink and fan.)

5. When purchasing an LGA 775 CPU or when receiving a motherboard with an LGA

775 CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of

the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

6. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.

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.)

7. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect

the four corners of the CPU to make sure

that the CPU is properly installed.

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.

(*Warning: Please keep the plastic

cap. The motherboard and the CPU

must be shipped with the plastic cap prop-

erly installed to protect the CPU pins. Ship-

ment without the CPU plastic cap properly

installed will void the warranty.)

Installation of the Heatsink

1. Locate the CPU Fan on the mother-

board. (Refer to the layout on the right

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 components.

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 protec-

tive ﬁ lm from the copper core of the

heatsink.

Thermal Grease

(*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 clear-

ance between the fan wires and the

ﬁ ns of the heatsink.

7. Align the four heatsink fasteners

with the mounting holes on the mother-

board. Gently push the pairs of diago-

nal fasteners (#1 & #2, and #3 & #4)

into the mounting holes until you hear a

click. (*Note: Make sure to orient each

fastener in a way that the narrow end of

the groove is pointing outward.)

4. Repeat Step 3 to loosen all fasteners from

the mounting holes.

5. With all fasteners loosened, remove the

heatsink from the CPU.

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 mounting holes for 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 mother-

board to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in

tightly. Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard

tray. (*Note: some components are near to the mounting holes. Please take all

necessary precautionary measures to prevent damage done to these components

when installing the motherboard into the chassis.)

2-4 Installing DDR2 Memory

Memory Module Installation (See Figure 2-2)

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules

to prevent any possible damage.

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 PDSMA+ supports Dual channel, ECC/Non-ECC unbuffered DDR2

667/533/400 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are

supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. (Populating

DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or DIMM#2A,DIMM#2B with memory modules

of the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel, two-way

interleaved memory which is faster than the single channel, non-interleaved

memory. When ECC memory is used, it may take 25-40 seconds for the VGA

to display.)

*Notes:

1. Due to chipset limitation, 8GB Memory can only be supported by the following

operating systems:

32-Bit: Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

Edition;

64-Bit: Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition, Windows XP Professional

x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition.

2. You may install a maximum of 2GB DIMMs on each slot; however, only DDR2

533 MHz 2GB density modules are available for this conﬁ guration.

3. Some old-version of DDR2-667 may not match Intel's On-Die-Temperature re-

quirement and will automatically down-grade to run @ 533 MHz, If this occurs,

contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value.

4. 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.)

Fan Headers

The PDSMA+ has six fan headers (Fan1

to Fan6). Fan6 is designated as the CPU

Cooling Fan. (*Note: all these fans are

4-pin fans. However, Pins 1-3 of the fan

headers are backward compatible with the

traditional 3-pin fans.) See the table on the

right for pin deﬁ nitions. *The onboard fan

speeds are controlled by the Fan Speed

Mode (Thermal Management) in the BIOS

Hardware Monitoring Section. When us-

ing Thermal Management settings, please

use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans on the

motherboard. Please do not use 3-pin

fans and 4-pin fans on the same board.

The default setting is "Disabled" which

will allow the onboard fans to run at the

full speed.)

2-7 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

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 identified with

a square solder pad on the printed

circuit board. See the motherboard

layout pages for jumper locations.

Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on and "Open"

means the jumper is off the pins.

GLAN Enable/Disable

JPL1 and JPL2 enable or disable

GLAN 1 Port and GLAN 2 Port on the

motherboard. See the table on the

right for jumper settings. The default

setting is enabled.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead

of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact

pads to prevent accidental clearing of

CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal ob-

ject such as a small screwdriver to touch

both pads at the same time to short the

connection. Always remove the AC power

cord from the system before clearing

CMOS.

Note: For an ATX power supply, you must

completely shut down the system, remove

the AC power cord and then short JBT1

to clear CMOS. Do not use the PW_ON

connector to clear CMOS.

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. Make sure the 8-pin 12v power connector at JPW2 is connected.

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 that it is fully seated,) and then, con-

nect the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all

jumper settings as well.

6. Make sure to use the correct type of CMOS battery as speciﬁ ed by the Manu-

facturer. Do not install the CMOS battery upside down to avoid possible

explosion.

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. Check if 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 sup-

plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-

move all the add-on cards and cables ﬁ rst.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A

for details on beep codes.)

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on,

check the specs of the memory, re-install the memory or try a different one.)

3-1

Page 50

PDSMA+ 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 installed and fully seated in

the slots.

2. You should be using unbuffered, ECC/Non-ECC DDR2-677/533 memory (see

the next page). 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. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-

ply 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 sup-

plies ~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.

677/533, two-way interleaved or non-interleaved SDRAM. See Section 2-4 for

details on installing memory.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: 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

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard 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 automati-

cally 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.

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the PDSMA+. The

Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a ﬂ ash 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. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of the Supermicro web site <

bios/> for any changes to the BIOS that may not be reﬂ ected in this manual.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible boot failure.

http://www.supermicro.com/support/

System BIOS

The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and

PS/2

compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters,

types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires

very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery pro-

vides power to the CMOS Logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time

when the computer is powered on, the computer is conﬁ gured with the values stored

in the CMOS Logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.

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 the

<Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)

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 Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 4-3, detailed de-

scriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Hardware Monitor Logic

*Note: The Phoenix BIOS will automatically detect the type of CPU(s) and hardware monitoring chip used on the motherboard and will display the Hardware Monitoring Screen accordingly. Your Hardware Monitoring Screen may look like the one shown on this page, or on P. 4-17, depending on the type of CPU(s) and HW Monitoring chip you are using.

CPU Temperature Threshold

This option allows the user to set a CPU temperature threshold that will activate the alarm system when the CPU temperature reaches this pre-set temperature

threshold. The options are 75

Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see monitor data for the following items:

CPU Temperature

System Temperature

Fan1-Fan6 Speeds: If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will

automatically display the status of the fans indicated in this item.

C, 80oC, 85oC and 90oC. (See the note below.)

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the

onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the

CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice versa.

If the option is set to 3-pin fan, the fan speed is controlled by voltage. If the option

is set to 4-pin, the fan speed will be controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Select 3-pin if your chassis came with 3-pin fan headers. Select 4-pin if your chas-

sis came with 4-pin fan headers. Select Workstation if your system is used as a

Workstation. Select Server if your system is used as a Server. Select Disable to

disable fan speed control and allow the onboard fans to constantly run at full speed

(12V). The Options are: 1. Disable, 2. 3-pin (Server), 3. 3-pin (Workstation), 4.

4-pin (Server) and 5. 4-pin (Workstation).

Voltage Monitoring

The following items will be monitored and displayed:

Vcore A, 1.5V, -12V, Vdimm, +3.3V, +12V, 5Vsb, 5VDD, P_VTT, Vbat

*Note: 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.
