X10DAi/X10DAC/X10DAX 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 motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that

supports system health monitoring, and it will scan the following onboard voltages

continuously: +1.05V, 1.5V, +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, chipset,

memory, CPU1/2 vcores, 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 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) can check the RPM status

of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the IPMI

2.0 interface.

Environmental Temperature Control

The BMC 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. SuperDoctor 5 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/CPU temperatures,

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

1-12

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 X10DAi/DAC/DAX 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 ensure adequate power supply to the system. Your power supply must

also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.

Warning: To prevent damage to 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.
