X10DRFF-iG/iTG/CG/CTG Motherboard User’s Manual

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 section describes the features of system health monitoring of the motherboard.

This motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that

supports system health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the follow-

ing onboard voltages continuously: +3.3V, 3.3V standby, +5V, +5V standby, +12V,

CPU Vcore, memory, BMC, PCH, and VBAT 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

System health monitoring support provided by the BMC controller can check the

RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by

IPMI Thermal Management.

Environmental Temperature Control

System health sensors in the BMC monitors 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 system from overheating.

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 the system health

monitoring software used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,

you can congure SuperDoctor 5 to warn you when the system temperature, CPU

temperatures, voltages, or fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Chapter 1: Overview

1-13

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 system, including its

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

automatically turn on and off peripherals such as network cards, hard-disk drives,

and printers.

In addition to power management directed by the operating system, the ACPI also

provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug-and-Play and an interface

(independent of the operating system) for conguration control. ACPI leverages

the Plug-and-Play BIOS data structures, while providing an implementation that is

independent of the processor architecture and compatible with Windows 8/R2 and

Windows 2012/R2 Operating Systems.

1-6 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and

reliable operation. This is even more important for processors that have high CPU

clock rates.

As a part of the Fat Twin server platform, this motherboard requires a special power

supply unit along with an appropriate backplane and/or adaptor recommended by

the manufacturer to provide adequate power to the system.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high-quality power supply that meets

the 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/.) Ad-

ditionally, 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.

1-14

X10DRFF-iG/iTG/CG/CTG Motherboard User’s Manual

1-7 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by this

motherboard:

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the Supermicro Power Manager [SPM] is installed)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager 3.0 (IPNM) provides your system with

real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.

Although IPNM Specication Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-

ment Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.

Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 2.0 or Version 3.0 is depen-

dent on the power supply used in the system.

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, pro-

vides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by

SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

2-8 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts be-

tween two pins to change the function of the

connector. Pin 1 is identied 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 the pins,

and "open" means the jumper is

off them.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact

pads to prevent accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear the CMOS, use a metal

object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short

the connection.

Note: Be sure to completely shut down the system, and then short JBT1

to clear the CMOS.

SATA 3.0 Connections

Ten SATA 3.0 connections (I-SATA0-5, S-SATA0-3) are

located on the motherboard. All these SATA 3.0 ports are

supported by the Intel PCH C612. I-SATA4/5, the yellow con-

nectors with power pins built-in, are used with Supermicro

SuperDOM (Disk-on-Module) connectors, and do not require

external power cables. SuperDOMs are backward-compatible

with regular SATA HDDs and SATA DOMs that require external

power cables. All SATA ports provide serial-link signal connec-

tions, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.

See the table on the right for pin denitions.. See the table on

the right for pin denitions.

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.

Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing, or installing any

hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for

the keyboard and mouse.

3. Remove all add-on cards.

4. Install CPU 1 rst (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the front panel

connectors to the motherboard.

No Power

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and the

chassis.

2. Make sure that the ATX power connectors are properly connected.

3. Check that the 115V/230V switch, if available, on the power supply is properly

set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system, if applicable.

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.

3-2

X10DRFF-iG/iTG/CG/CTG Motherboard User’s Manual

No Video

If the power is on but you have no video, remove all add-on cards and cables.

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display POST or does not respond after the power is turned

on, check the following:

1. Clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and contacting both

pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.)

2. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system

boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors

Troubleshooting procedure in this Chapter.

Losing the System’s Setup Con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 2-7 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 x the setup conguration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

Memory Errors

When a no-memory beep code is issued by the system, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that

the DIMMs are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility, refer to

the memory compatibility chart posted on our website @ http://www.supermi-

cro.com.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-

mended that you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the

system.

3-3

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Load Reduction (LRDIMM)/

Registered (RDIMM) ECC DDR4 DIMM modules recommended by the manu-

facturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among

all memory slots and check the results.

5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the

instructions given in Section 2-5 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM population tables listed in

Section 2-5 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the

following:

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported and that you have

the latest BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-

ing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Refer to the product page on our website @ http:\\www.supermicro.

com for memory and CPU support and updates.

3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Re-

place the bad HDDs with good ones.

4. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans

and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring

settings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and system temperatures are

within the normal range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED and make

sure that it is not on.

5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate

power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected.

Please refer to our website for more information on the minimum power

requirements.

6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

3-4

X10DRFF-iG/iTG/CG/CTG Motherboard User’s Manual

B. If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check

the following:

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are

working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD.

2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and

working properly.

3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary

components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum congura-

tion (but with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble

areas. Refer to the steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting

procedures.

4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a compo-

nent in question from the chassis, and test it in isolation to make sure that it

works properly. Replace a bad component with a good one.

5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several

items at the same time. This will help isolate and identify the problem.

6. To nd out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to

see if the system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad.

You can also install the component in question in another system. If the new

system works, the component is good and the old system has problems.

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, please

note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro also sells motherboards

through its channels, so it is best to rst check with your distributor or reseller for

troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problems with the
