processors (Socket R3 LGA 2011) and the C612 chipset, the X10DAL-i mother-

board provides the performance and feature sets required for small -form factor

workstation platforms, optimized for medical imaging applications.

With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X10DAL-i of-

fers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with a transfer speed of up to 9.6

GT/s, providing superb system performance.

The C612 chipset provides extensive IO support, including the following features:

• DDR4 288 -pin memory support

• Support for MCTP protocol and ME

• GSX capable of GPIO expansion

• Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity congurations

• SPI Enhancements

• Intel® Node Manager 3.0

Notes:

1. E5-2600v4 requires Revision 2.0 BIOS (or higher).

2. Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in

the system.

1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 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 motherboard has an onboard Hardware Monitor Controller that supports sys-

tem health monitoring, and it will scan the following onboard voltages continuously:

1.05V, 1.2V, 1.5V, +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, chipset, memory, and

battery voltages. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error

message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene

the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The onboard Hardware Monitor Controller can check the RPM status of a cooling

fan.

Environmental Temperature Control

The Hardware Monitor Controller monitors the CPU temperature in real time and

will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a

user-dened threshold. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will

automatically turn on the thermal fan control to prevent the CPU from overheating.

The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature

and alert the user when the chassis temperature is too high.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide

adequate airow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor ® 5, which is a system health

monitoring software program used to notify the user of certain system events.

For example, you can congure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings

when the system/CPU temperatures, CPU voltages and fan speeds go beyond

a predened range.

Chapter 1: Overview

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-

tion denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard

way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including

its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system

to automatically turn on and off peripheral devices such as 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 that is compatible with Windows 8/R2 and Windows 2012/R2 Op-

erating Systems.

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.

The X10DAL-i motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although

most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some

are inadequate. In addition, two 8-pin power connections are also required to en-

sure adequate power supply to the system. Your power supply must also supply 3A

(minimal) plus 5V standby and suspend to RAM power support.

Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, please use a power

supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these

power supply connectors to the 24-pin (J24) and two 8-pin power connectors (JPWR1,

JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure to do so will void the manufacturer warranty on

your power supply and motherboard.

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.

1-7 Super I/O

The Super I/O supports one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication

ports (UARTs). The UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable

baud rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor interrupt

system. The UART provides 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 sup-

port higher speed modems.

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration

and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-

ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto-power management

to reduce power consumption.
