Chapter 1: Overview

1-11

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) chip

that supports system health monitoring. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warn-

ing 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 system health monitor embedded in the BMC chip can check the RPM status

of a cooling fan. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled via lPMI 2.0.

Environmental Temperature Control

System Health sensors in the BMC monitor 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, the

system cooling fan will be turned on to prevent the 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 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 temperature, CPU temperatures,

voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

1-12

X10DRT-B+ Motherboard User’s Manual

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 computer 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 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

operating 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. 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 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by the

motherboard.

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

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (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 2.0/3.0 support is dependent on the power supply

used in the system.

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O

Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services

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

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid pos-

sible damage to your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The

following measures are generally suf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 system chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the motherboard.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

Chapter 2: Installation

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on

the label area. Also, improper CPU installation or socket/pin misalignment can cause

serious damage to the CPU or the motherboard that will require RMA repairs. Be sure

to read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing your CPU and heatsink.

Notes:

• 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.

• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-

directional heatsink only.

• Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the

CPU heatsink.

• When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure

that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are

bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.

• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

2-5 Motherboard Installation

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.

Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and

chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-

teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard

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.

Tools Needed

• Phillips Screwdriver

• Pan head screws (11 pieces)

• Standoffs (11 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are eleven (11) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.

Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components,

please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw

during motherboard installation. 2) Some components are very close to the

mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to avoid damaging

these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.

Fan Headers

This motherboard has two system fan

headers (FAN3, FAN4) on the mother-

board All these 4-pin fans headers are

backward compatible with the traditional

3-pin fans. However, fan speed control

is available for 4-pin fans only. The fan

speeds are controlled by Thermal Man-

agement via IPMI 2.0 interface. See the

table below for pin denitions.

2-8 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the mother-

board, jumpers can be used to choose

between optional settings. Jumpers cre-

ate shorts between 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 mother-

board 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.

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 object such

as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connec-

tion. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.

Note: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short

JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Powered SATA DOM (SuperDOM)

A SATA DOM (Device-on-Disk) is lo-

cated at S-SATA3 on the motherboard.

S-SATA3 is used with a Supermicro

SuperDOM, which is a yellow SATA

DOM connector with a power pin built in,

and no external power supply is needed.

Supermicro SuperDOM is backward-

compatible with a regular SATA HDD

or SATA DOM that requires an external

power supply. All SATA ports provide

serial-link signal connections, which are

faster than the connections of Parallel

ATA.

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 that it is fully seated) and connect the front

panel connectors to the motherboard.

No Power

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

2. Make sure that all power connectors are properly connected.

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

able.

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

X10DRT-B+ Motherboard User’s Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you do not have 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. (This option is only available on a motherboard that

has an onboard buzzer/internal speaker installed.)

System Boot Failure

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

on, check the following:

1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.

• If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules in-

stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only

one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. If there is still no error beep, replace

the motherboard.

• If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord

and contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to Section

2. Check if DIMM modules with different speeds have been installed. It is

strongly recommended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in

the system.

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

Reduced (LRDIMM)/Non-Volatile (NV-DIMM) ECC DDR4 SDRAM modules as

recommended by the manufacturer.

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 2-4 in Chapter 2.

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

Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.
