1-10

X10SRD-F Motherboard 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 core,

+3.3V, +5V, +12V, +3.3V Stdby, VBAT, Memory and Chipset. Once a voltage be-

comes 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

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 via BIOS

(under the Hardware Monitoring section in the Advanced Setting).

Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor 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. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the ther-

mal sensor detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn

on the thermal fans 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.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-11

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor® 5 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.

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 the Microsoft® Windows® series of operat-

ing 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.

This motherboard draws is power from the chassis power through its IF+PWR con-

nector. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that

meets power supply Specications 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.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices

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

age to 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

upside down battery to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

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

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

2-3 Motherboard Installation

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.

Note: Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take

precautionary measures to prevent damage to these components when

installing the motherboard to the chassis.

Tools Needed

Philips Screwdriver

Pan head screws (7 pieces)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are eight (7) mounting holes on the X10SRD-F motherboard. These holes

correspond to screw holes in a matching motherboard tray that slides into a blade-

type chassis.

Stand Offs (7 pieces)

(Only if needed)

Warning: 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.

2-4 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Notes:

• When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the

label area.

• Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, re-

moving 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.

• Please proceed to the following pages for instructions on processor and heatsink

installation.

The LGA2011 Socket

Currently, there are two kinds of LGA2011 socket mounted on Supermicro moth-

erboards, a 'regular' and a 'narrow' sized socket. Though they may look slightly

different from one another, the labeling, operation of the hardware, mounting of

the CPU are similar on both types. The 'narrow' type socket is installed on this

motherboard (X10SRD-F)

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins,

this "jumper" consists of contact pads to pre-

vent 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 connection. Always remove

the AC power cord from the system before

clearing CMOS.

Important: You must shut down the sys-

tem, remove the AC power cord, and then

short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

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 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. Install a CPU and heatsink (be sure that it is fully seated) 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.

3-2

X10SRD-F Motherboard 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 specs of memory modules, reset the memory or try a different one.)

Memory Errors

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

the slots.

2. You should be using memory recommended by Supermicro (see Section 2-4).

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

and speed for all DIMMs in the system. Do not use memory modules of differ-

ent 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.

When You Lose 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.

3-3

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/).

X10SRD-F Motherboard User’s Manual

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: Please see Section 2-5 for a comprehensive answer.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not 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. Please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable device

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

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

Use the following format:

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

Note: Always use the le named “ash.bat ” to update the BI OS, and insert

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

will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X9SRD) and build version as the

extension. For example, "X10SRD1.218". When completed, your system

will automatically reboot.

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.

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

to prevent possible system boot failure!

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.

Chapter 4: AMI BIOS

4-1

Chapter 4

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SRD-F Motherboard.

The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This

chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Note: For instructions on BIOS recovery, please refer to the instruction

guide posted at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.

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 informational text will accompany it. (Note:

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

to include, omit, or change any of these informational 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>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar-

row 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.

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time

the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue

with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to bootup. If a fatal error oc-

curs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.

The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the

corresponding error.
