X10SAE User’s Manual

1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine 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 a power-on state. See

the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is

Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an

onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An

onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU Vcore,

12V, -12V, 5V, 3.3V, 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.

Environmental Temperature Control

This motherboard supports 4-pin fans. The fourth pin of a 4-pin fan supports Pulse

Width Modulation, which allows the BIOS to monitor the CPU temperature in real

time. A thermal control fan will be turned on whenever the CPU temperature exceeds

a user-dened threshold. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can also 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 the system is used with SuperDoctor® III in the

Windows OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor

is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also

congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,

CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened thresholds.

Chapter 1: Introduction

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 peripherals such as CD-ROMs, 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 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008

Operating Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink

to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the

CPU will "wake up", and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

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.

This 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, the 12V 8-pin power connector located at JPW2 is also

required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply

must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.

Warning: 1. To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a

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

these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the

motherboard. Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power

supply and motherboard. 2. To provide adequate power to a disk-on-module (DOM)

device, please connect it to the DOM power connector located at JSD1.

1-11

X10SAE User’s Manual

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 web site 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 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.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices

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

aging your system board, 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 your computer chassis provides excellent

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

the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard

battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

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.

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

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

label area of the fan.

Important:

•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 system board into the chassis before you install

the CPU heatsink.

•When receiving a server board 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.

Installing the LGA1150 Processor

1. Gently press down the load plate handle and push it outward (to the right

side) to unlock it.

2. Once the load plate handle is unlocked, gently lift the handle to open the

load plate.

4. Align the CPU keys, which are the semicircular cutouts on the sides of the

CPU (shown below), against the socket keys, the semicircular notches on the

sides of the CPU socket. Align CPU Pin 1, the triangle at the bottom left of

the CPU, against Pin 1 of the socket, the triangle marker at the bottom left of

the CPU socket.

5. Once they are aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket.

(To avoid damaging the CPU or the socket, do not drop the CPU on the

socket. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the

socket.)

6. With the CPU seated inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU

to ensure that it is properly installed.

2-6

Chapter 2: Installation

7. Once the CPU is properly installed, use your thumb to gently push the load

plate handle down to the handle lock and lock it.

8. When the CPU is securely locked into the CPU socket, the plastic cap will be

automatically loosened from the load plate. Use your thumb and index nger

to remove the plastic cap from the socket.

The plastic cap will

pop open when the

CPU is properly

installed in the

socket. Remove the

cap from the socket.

Warning: You can install the CPU inside the socket only in one direction. Make sure

that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the load plate. If it

doesn't close properly, do not force it, as that may damage your CPU. Instead, open

the load plate again and check whether the CPU is properly aligned and securely

seated inside the socket.

Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1. Do not apply thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required

amount has already been applied.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are

aligned with those on the motherboard and the underlying heatsink bracket.

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (the #1 and #2 screws in the gure below)

until just snug. To avoid possible damage to the CPU, do not over tighten the

screws.

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
