Chapter 1: Introduction

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.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans.

The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management.

Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor monitors CPU and system temperatures in real time,

and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU or system temperature

exceeds a user-dened threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from

the CPU. Once the thermal sensor detects that the CPU or the system temperature

is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to prevent the CPU or the

system 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 the system is used with SuperDoctor® 5 in the

Windows OS environment or Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of

certain system events. For example, you can also congure SuperDoctor 5 to

provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,

voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened thresholds.

X10SBA/X10SBA-L 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 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 64bit operating system.

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. In addition to using

the 24-pin power supply, the 12V 4-pin power connector located at PJ1 can also

be used as another power source for space-restrainted application.

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 supports four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication

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

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

system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps

1-12

Chapter 1: Introduction

as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which

support 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.

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.

2-4 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.

Embedded DisplayPort (eDP)

The eDP header is used to connect an

embedded display LED or LCD Panel.

eDP is a companion standard to the

DisplayPort interface designed for em-

bedded display applications, includ-

ing notebook PCs, tablets, netbooks

and all-in-one desktop PCs. Refer to

the table on right for pin denitions.

X10SBA support 3.3V eDP LED or

LCD panel only. The X10SBA support

eDP standard version 1.3. Refer to the

table on the right for more information.

Note: eDP will be disabled

by hardware when DP is con-

nected with active display.

Please make sure no display

DOM PWR Connector (JSD1)

The SATA Disk-On-Module (DOM) power con-

nector, located at JSD1, provides power to a

solid state DOM storage device connected to

one of the SATA ports. See the table on the

right for pin denitions.

Fan Headers (Fan 1/Fan 2)

The X10SBA(-L) has two fan headers (Fan 1/

Fan 2). These fans are 4-pin fan headers. Al-

though pins 1-3 of the fan headers are backward

compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans, we

recommend the use 4-pin fans to take advan-

tage of the fan speed control. This allows the

fan speeds to be automatically adjusted based

on the motherboard temperature. Refer to the

table on the right for pin denitions.

2-7 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the mother-

board, jumpers can be used to choose

between optional settings. Jumpers create

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.

Note: On-two pin jumpers,

"Closed" means the jumper is on,

and "Open" means the jumper is

off the pins.

Audio Enable (JPAC1)

JPAC1 allows you to enable or disable the

onboard audio support. The default position

is on pins 1 and 2 to enable onboard audio

connections. See the table on the right for

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.

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

hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that the Standby PWR LED is not on. (Note: If it is on, the

onboard power is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or

removing the components.)

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

chassis.

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

the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

4. Properly install a heatsink as needed, and then connect the chassis speaker

and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper settings as well.

No Power

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

chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

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

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

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to make sure that it still

supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3-1

X10SBA/X10SBA-L User’s Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-

move all the add-on cards and cables rst.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A

for details on beep codes.)

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on,

check the specications of memory modules, reset the memory or try a differ-

ent one.)

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in

the slots.

2. You should be using SO-DIMM Non-ECC DDR3L (Low Voltage) memory of up

to 1333 MHz memory recommended by the manufacturer. Also, it is recom-

mended that you use the memory modules of the same type and speed for all

DIMMs in the system. Do not use memory modules of different sizes, different

speeds and different types on the same motherboard.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to

see if you can locate the faulty ones.

4. Check the switch of 115V/230V power supply.

Losing the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-

ply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section

1-5 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.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all

the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro

does not sell directly to end users, so it is best to rst check with your distributor or

reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)

with the specic system conguration that was sold to you.

1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked

Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website

(http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Sup-

port.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-

cro.com/support/bios/).

Note: Not all BIOS can be ashed. Some cannot be ashed; it depends

on the boot block code of the BIOS.

3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still

cannot resolve the problem, then contact Supermicro's technical support and

provide them with the following information:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number

• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your

system rst boots up)

•System conguration

•An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at (http://www.super-

micro.com/support/rma/rma.cfm).

4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number

ready when placing a call to our technical support depar tment. We can be

reached by e-mail at [e-mail], by phone at: (408) 503-

8000, option 2, or by fax at [phone].

3-3

X10SBA/X10SBA-L User’s Manual

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The X10SBA/X10SBA-L supports unbuffered Non-ECC DDR3L Low Volt-

age SO-DIMM (1.35V, of up to 1333 MHz). See Section 2-4 for details on installing

memory.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: We do NOT recommend that you upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS les are located on

our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM le to your

computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip le or the .exe le. If you

choose the zipped BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable device or

a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch le named "ami.bat" with

the new BIOS ROM le from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive. Use

the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-lename.xxx <Enter>

Note: Always use the le named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert

a space between "ami.bat" and the lename. The BIOS- ROM-lename

will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X10SBA/X10SBA-L) and build ver-

sion as the extension. For example, "X10SBA.115". When completed, your

system will automatically reboot.

If you choose the .exe le, please run the .exe le under Windows to create

the BIOS ash oppy disk. Insert the oppy disk into the system you wish

to ash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the oppy disk. The BIOS util-

ity will automatically ash the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that

this process may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if

the screen is paused for a few minutes.

When the BIOS ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and

will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS

defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system

will then reboot.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent

possible system boot failure!

Note: For AMI BIOS recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery

Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the

system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS

setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as

<F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The AMI BIOS setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key

legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:

the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to

include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the

setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <Esc>, arrow

keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Conguration Data

The conguration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the AMI BIOS setup utility. This setup utility can be accessed by pressing

<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

How to Start the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.

As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of

the AMI BIOS setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup

screens. An AMI BIOS identication string is displayed at the left bottom corner of

the screen, below the copyright message.

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.

Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event

shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential dam-

ages arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down

or reset the system while the BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.

4-2 Main Setup

When you rst enter the AMI BIOS setup utility, you will enter the Main setup screen.

You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the

top of the screen. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

Appendix C

UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.

Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall

Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages

arising from a BIOS update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset

the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

C-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specication provides a software-

based interface between the operating system and the platform rmware in the

pre-boot environment. The UEFI specication supports an architecture-independent

mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored

in the add-on card, to boot up the system. UEFI offers a clean, hand-off control to

a computer system at bootup.

C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (-the Main
BIOS Block)

A UEF BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, which consists of two

boot blocks and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains

critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user

to ash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the

system power is on, the boot block codes execute rst. Once it is completed, the

main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.

Note: Follow the BIOS Recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery

when the main BIOS block crashes. However, when the BIOS Boot block

crashes, you will need to follow the procedures in Appendix A.

C-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB­Attached Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device

without additional utilities used. A USB ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or

a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB

Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.

C-1

X10SBA/X10SBA-L User’s Manual

To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instruc-

tions below.

1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the

disc Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.

Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your driver disk, visit our

website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB

ash device and rename it to "Super ROM" for BIOS recovery use.

2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into

your USB drive and power on the system

3. While powering on the system, keep pressing <Ctrl> and <Home> simultane-

ously on your keyboard until your hear two short beeps. This may take from a

few seconds to one minute.

4. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS

Recovery menu as shown below.

Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start with BIOS Recov-

ery. If you decide to proceed with BIOS Recovery, follow the procedures

below.

5. When the screen as shown above displays, using the arrow key, select the

item- "Proceed with ash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the

progress of BIOS Recovery as shown in the screen below.

Note: Do not interrupt the process of BIOS ashing until it is com-

pleted.

C-2

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

6. After the process of BIOS Recovery is complete, press any key to reboot the

system.

7. Using a different system, extract the BIOS package into a bootable USB ash

drive.

8. When a DOS prompt appears, enter AMI.BAT BIOSname.### at the prompt.

Note: Do not interrupt this process until BIOS ashing is completed.

C-3

X10SBA/X10SBA-L User’s Manual

Appendix D: Dual Boot Block

Appendix D

Dual Boot Block

D-1 Introduction

This motherboard supports the Dual Boot Block feature, which is the last-ditch

mechanism to recover the BIOS boot block. This section provides an introduction

to the feature.

BIOS Boot Block

A BIOS boot block is the minimum BIOS loader required to enable necessary

hardware components for the BIOS crisis recovery ash that will update the main

BIOS block. An on-call BIOS boot-block corruption may occur due to a software

tool issue (see image below) or an unexpected power outage during BIOS updates.

BIOS Boot Block Corruption Occurrence

When a BIOS boot block is corrupted due to an unexpected power outage or a

software tool malfunctioning during BIOS updates, you can still reboot the system

by closing pins 2 and 3 using a cap on Jumper JBR1. When JBR1 is set to pins

2 and 3, the system will boot from a backup boot block pre-loaded in the BIOS by

the manufacturer.

D-1

X10SBA/X10SBA-L User’s Manual

D-2 Steps to Reboot the System by Using Jumper
JBR1

1. Power down the system.

2. Close pins 2-3 on Jumper JBR1, and power on the system.

3. Follow the BIOS recovery SOP listed in the previous chapter (Appendix C).

4. After completing the steps above, power down the system.

5. Close pins 1-2 on Jumper JBR1, and power on the system.
