Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC808T-1200B 1U
chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6.
System Power
When confi gured as a SuperServer 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF, the
SC808T-1200B includes a single high-effi ciency (Gold Level) 1200W cold-swap
power supply, which provides the power to both serverboards housed in the chassis.
SATA Subsystem
The SC808T-1200B chassis was designed to support four SAT A hard drives, which
are hot- swappa ble unit s.
Control Panel
The SC808T-1200B features two independant control panels associated with each
node (serverboard). Each control panel has LEDs to indicate power on, network
activity, hard disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. Each control panel
also includes a main power button and a system reset button.
Rear I/O Panel
The SC808T-1200B is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides a slots for
two low-profi le PCI-E x16 expansion cards, two COM ports, four USB ports, two
VGA ports and four Gb Ethernet ports. See Chapter 6 for details.
Cooling System
The SC808T-1200B chassis has an innovative cooling design that features an air
shroud and three sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans per node (confi gured as six
fans placed back to back in pairs). A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan
speed to be determined by system temperature.
1-5
SUPERSERVER 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF User's Manual
1-4 1U Twin: System Notes
As a 1U Twin confi guration, the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF is a unique
server system. With two nodes incorporated into a single chassis, there are several
points you should keep in mind.
System Power
A single power supply is used to provide the power for both serverboards. Each
serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the power
button on its own control panel.
Although they share a common power supply , the I
monitoring are received by the primary serverboard only. (When viewed from the
front of the chassis, the serverboard on the left is referred to as the primary board
and the serverboard on the right as the secondary.)
2
C signals used for power supply
SATA Backplane/Drives
As a system, the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF supports the use of four
SATA drives. The SATA backplane works as a single backplane divided into two
sections. This means that while a single power connector is used and functions
such as overheating apply to both sections together, each pair of SATA drives is
logically connected to its own serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to
a two-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all four drives).

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 6016TT-TF/6016TTIBXF/6016TT-IBQF up and running. Following these steps in the order given
should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of
time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a
serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section
noted in each step for details on installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
Y ou should inspect the box the 6016TT -TF/6016TT -IBXF/6016TT -IBQF was shipped
in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you
should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 6016TT-TF/6016TTIBXF/6016TT-IBQF. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are
generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to
read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF was shipped in should include
two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws
you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given
to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this
section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the
sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front •
door completely (~25 inches).
2-1
SUPERSERVER 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF User's Manual
!
!
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for •
suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
•
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
•
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Warnings and Precautions!
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •
the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the •
rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-
•
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack • before you install the
rails.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then
•
work up.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
•
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
•
ing them.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers •
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
•
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airfl ow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

SUPERSERVER 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 6016TT-TF/6016TT -IBXF/6016TT IBQF into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been
mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to the next step.
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
(right side rail shown)
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach
a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear
side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper
distance so that the rail can fi t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the
front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side
of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
Locking Tabs
Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The fi rst is to
lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is
its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails
2-5
SUPERSERVER 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF User's Manual
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next
step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis
rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping
the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when
inserting). See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the SuperServer 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF into a Telco type
rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First,
determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis
should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is
included on your server, remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side
of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to
accommodate the width of the rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and
tightening the brackets to the rack.
2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF in the rack, you will
need to open the top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and
all the connections have been made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it 1.
locks (you will hear a "click").
Remove the four screws (two on the sides and two on the top) that secure 2.
the top cover to the chassis. Place your thumbs in the two rectangular recesses and push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it
stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to
the inside of the server (see Figure 2-4).
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in 3.
the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to
continue to pull the system out past the locked position.

2-6 Preparing to Power On
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.
Checking the SATA drives
The SATA disk drives are accessable from the front of the server and can be 1.
installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or 2.
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by an air shroud and three sets (six fans back to back) of 1.
4-cm counter-rotating PWM fans per node [for a total of two air shrouds and
six sets of fans (12 total) in the system]. The system component layout was
carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that
generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
Plug the power cords from the power supplies unit into a high-quality power 1.
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).2.
Finally, depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.3.

System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the two control panels as well as others on the SATA
drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as
well as the activity and health of specifi c components. There are also two buttons
on each control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and
the appropriate response you may need to take. Note that the server has two control
panels, one for each node in the system. This allows each node (serverboard) to
be controlled independently of the other.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-buttons located on each control panel: a reset button and a
power on/off button.
Reset
Depressing the reset button will reboot only the serverboard it is associated with.
Power
This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system
power only to the node (serverboard) it is associated with. Depressing this button
removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the serverboard.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well
•
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-•
stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules
and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the
system with the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords of all
the power supply units in the system.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
•
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
•
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection
•
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
•
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

•
ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF clean and
•
free of clutter.
The 6016TT-TF/6016TT -IBXF/6016TT -IBQF weighs approximately 40 lbs (~18.2
•
kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should
lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your
back straight and lift with your legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-
•
moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
•
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or
be pulled into a cooling fan.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Safety
!
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal •
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact
with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up after ensuring
•
that all connections have been made.
4-3 ESD Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags •
until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
•
bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
•
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard 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 serverboard.

Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrostatic discharge.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
5-2 Serverboard Installation
This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/
X8DTT-IBQF into the SC808T-1200B chassis. Following the steps in the order given
will eliminate the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To
remove the serverboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.
Accessing the Inside of the System
Remove all four screws securing the top cover of the chassis: two at the top 1.
rear of the cover and one on each side lip, also near the back.
Place both thumbs in the indentations and push the cover back until it slides 2.
off.
Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the 3.
server. (If already installed in a rack, grasp the two handles on either side and
pull the unit straight out until the rails lock into place. See Figure 2-5.)
Check Compatibility of Serverboard Ports and I/O Shield
The X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF in a Twin 1U confi guration requires 1.
the use of Supermicro's 1U Twin chassis: the SC808T-1200B.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboards align properly with their 2.
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis when installing.
Mounting the Serverboard onto the Serverboard Tray
Carefully mount the serverboards by aligning the board holes with the raised 1.
metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboards that line up 2.
with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you
might strip the threads).
Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to pro-3.
vide a continuous ground for the system.
5-2
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
Warning: To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not apply
any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mounting hole.
5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the serverboards are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the boards. These include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel
and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed to prevent them from blocking the fl ow of cooling air that moves through
the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you
should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting
them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data
cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the serverboard layout
for connector locations.) Note that each connection listed should be made for both
serverboards in the chassis.
SATA drive cables (SATA0 ~ SATA1)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1)•
Connecting Power Cables
The X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT -IBQF has two 20-pin ATX power supply connectors (JWR1) for connection to the ATX power supply. Only one of these from each
board should be connected to the power supply. The "Primary ATX Power Header"
is used to supply power to the primary serverboard and the "Secondary ATX Power
Header" is used to supply power to the secondary serverboard. Connect the power
supply to only one of these on both boards (primary = left, secondary = right when
viewed from front of server). See Section 5-9 for power connector pin defi nitions.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators. All
JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify this connection.
Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end
connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status
LEDs on the chassis.

The Supero Doctor III program is a web-based management tool that supports
remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.
The local management is called the 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 Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.
Notes: The default User Name and the Password are ADMIN.
In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take precedence
over the BIOS settings. When fi rst installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the tem-
perature 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.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC808T-1200B chassis. For component installation, follow the steps
in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some
steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows. The only tool you will
need to install components and perform maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment
from ESD discharge.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •
bag.
Handle a 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 serverboard, add-on cards 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 serverboard.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

6-2 Control Panel
Each control panel on the front of the chassis must be connected to the JF1 connector on its associated serverboard to provide you with system control buttons
and status indicators. (When viewed from the front of the chassis, the serverboard
on the left is referred to as the primary serverboard and the serverboard on the
right as the secondary.)
These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to simplify the connection.
Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the control panel PCB (printed
circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all
excess cabling out of the airfl ow path. The LEDs inform you of system status for
the serverboard it is connected to. See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the
control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
!
6-3 System Fans
Each node has three sets of 4-cm high-performance PWM fans to provide the cooling for the system (each set consists of two back-to-back counter-rotating fans).
Fan speed may be controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7).
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail
LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your earliest
convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a
failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of the fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a
fan. Removing the power cord is also recommended as a safety precaution.
6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
SATA Drives: Because of their hot-swap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SATA drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions. Note: The operating system you use must
have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SATA drives.
Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not
touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
cables touch the backplane. Also, regardless of how many SATA
drives are installed, all four drive carriers must remain in the
chassis to maintain proper airfl ow.
SATA Drive Installation
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
system. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain
in the chassis.
Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier
Install the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down 1.
so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.2.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X8DTT/-F/-IBX/-IBXF/IBQ/-IBQF. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily
updated. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility
setup screens.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI 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 setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be confi gured. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be
confi gured by the user. 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:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Confi guration Data
The confi guration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

CPU Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
The following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU Temperature
The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer
processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature
information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which
the motherboard takes action during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by
increasing CPU Fan speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can
have different ‘Temperature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way
around. This results in better CPU thermal management.
Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain
thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier
for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status, rather than by just simply
seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25
the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS:
Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature
is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will
run normally as confi gured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and
generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU
is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’.
The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as confi gured in the BIOS. The
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans
and the chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm.

Fan Speed Control Monitor
This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the

the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice
versa. Select Workstation if your system is used as a Workstation. Select Server if
your system is used as a Server. Select “Disabled, (Full Speed @12V)” to disable
