X10SLV/-Q Motherboard User's Manual

1-3 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X10SLV/-Q Moth-

erboard. These motherboards have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that

supports PC health monitoring.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

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 hit the power switch to turn it back

on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control

setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-

ting is Last State.

Onboard Voltage Monitoring

The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU

Vcore, VBAT, 3VCC, 3VSB, 12V, Chipset 1.05V , VDIMM, PCH Temp, System Temp.

Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message

to the screen. The User can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity

of the voltage monitor by using SD III.

Fan Status Monitor with Software

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero

Doctor III.

1-10

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-4 PowerCongurationSettings

This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and

power settings.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

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

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.

BIOS Support for USB Keyboard

If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal

keyboard during system boot-up.

Main Switch Override Mechanism

When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system

suspend button. When the user presses the power button, the system will enter a

Soft Off state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.

Pressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake up. During the

SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry

in the system "alive." In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the

power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off

and no power will be provided to the motherboard.

1-5 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 of 1 GHz and faster.

The X10SLV/-Q Motherboard accommodates 12V ATX power supplies.

Although most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the

CPU, some are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is

strongly recommended.

Note: The X10SLV Motherboard series alternatively supports a 4-pin 12V DC in put

power supply for embedded applications.

1-11

X10SLV/-Q Motherboard User's Manual

1-6 Super I/O

The Super I/O provides ve 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 as

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

port 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 a 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.

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. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or removing the compo-

nents.)

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

sis.

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. 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 chas-

sis.

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.

No Video

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

all the add-on cards and cables rst.

3-1

X10SLV/-Q Motherboard User's Manual

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 specs of memory modules, reset the memory or try a dif ferent one.)

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the non-ECC SODIMM modules are properly installed and fully

seated in the slots.

2. Please check Section 2-3 and make sure that you are using the correct memory.

Also, it is recommended that you use the memory modules of the same type

and speed for all DIMMs in the system.

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

see if you can locate the faulty modules.

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

If You Lose the System’s Setup Conguration

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

may cause the system to lose the 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 supplies

~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.

on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our

3-3

X10SLV/-Q Motherboard User's Manual

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 and 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>

Notes: 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., X10SLV) and build date as the extension.

For example, "X10SLV0.526".

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 utility 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.

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

to prevent possible system boot failure!

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 <F3> to load the default

settings. Next, press <F4> to save and exit. The system will then reboot.

Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable. To

repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard to RMA

at Supermicro for service.

If your BIOS crashes and your motherboard will no longer boot, please read Ap-

pendix C - UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions for instructions.

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SLV/-Q. The ROM

BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter de-

scribes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

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 Main 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>, and

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.

The Supero Doctor III program is a Web-base management tool that supports

remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.

The local management is called the SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program

included on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor

the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial

system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See

the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

Note 1: Both default user name and password are ADMIN.

Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings

take precedence over the BIOS settings. When rst installed, Supero

Doctor III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the

BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within

Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For

the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please

change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.
