1-10
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. An
onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU core,
+1.05V, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, +3.3V Stdby, +5V Stdby, VBAT, Memory and Chipset.
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

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.
1-11
X10SRG-F Motherboard User’s Manual

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.

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 20-pin power supplies. Although most power sup-
plies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.
In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connectors located at JPW2 and JPW3 are also
required to ensure adequate power to the GPU Add-on card.
Warning: To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a
power supply that contains a 20-pin and an 8-pin power connectors. Failure in doing
so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard. It is
1-12
Chapter 1: Introduction
strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ower sup-
ply 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.

2-1 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.

2-2 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.

Memory Population Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the follow-
ing order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1 then DIMMA2, DIMMB2, DIMMC2,
DIMMD2.
Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.
Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed
of the slowest DIMM.
The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (1, 3, 5, or 7 modules in-
stalled). However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs
to activate memory interleaving.

Fan Headers (FAN1~4, FANA~D)
The X10SRG-F series has eight (8)
fan headers (Fan 1~Fan 4 and Fan
headers. Though Pins 1-3 of the fan
A~Fan D). These fans are 4-pin fan
headers are backward compatible
with traditional 3-pin fans, it is recom-
mended that 4-pin fans are used to al-
low the fan speed control setting in the
BIOS Hardware Monitoring section (if
set) to automatically adjust fan speeds
based on the system temperature.
Refer to the table on the right for pin

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.
LAN Port Enable/Disable (JPL1)
Jumper JPL1 enables or disables
LAN Ports 1 and 2 on the mother-
board. See the table on the right for
jumper settings. The default setting
is enabled.

Clear CMOS (JBT1)
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent 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: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
PCI Slot SMB Enable (JI2C1/JI2C2)
Use Jumpers JI2C2/JI2C3 to enable PCI
SMB (System Management Bus) support
to improve system management for the
PCI slots. See the table on the right for
jumper settings.

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.
3-1
X10SRG-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 2-3).
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.

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 "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., X10SRG-F) and build version as
the extension. For example, "X10SRG-F1.218". 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.
