1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® Xeon® E5-1600/E5-2600 v3/v4
series processors (Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10SRM-F/-TF motherboard

provides system performance, power efciency, and feature sets to address the needs of

next-generation computer users.

With the support of the new Intel® Microarchitecture 22nm Process Technology, the X10SRM­F/-TF dramatically increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.

The PCH C612 chip provides Enterprise SMbus support, including the following features:

• DDR4 288-pin memory support on Socket R3

• Hybrid clock support capable of extending to most 2S platforms

• Support for Management Engine (ME)

• Support of SMBus speeds of up to 400KHz for BMC connectivity

• Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity congurations

• SPI Enhancements

• Intel® Node Manager 3.0 for advanced power monitoring, capping and management for

BMC enhancement (see note below).

• BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package for enterprise

platforms

Note: Note Manager support depends on the power supply used in your system.

1.3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State

20

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and
battery continuously. 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

The system health monitor embedded in the BMC chip can check the RPM status of the
cooling fans. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled via lPMI.

Environmental Temperature Control

System Health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard processors
and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the temperature of the CPU or

the system exceeds a user-dened threshold, system/CPU cooling fans will be turned on to

prevent the CPU or the system from overheating

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 used with SuperDoctor 5® in the Windows OS or in the Linux
environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,

you can congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

1.5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication denes
a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power

management features throughout a computer 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 2012 Operating Systems.

X10SRM-F/-TF User Manual

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.

The X10SRM-F-/-TF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies with 8-pin (Pin
1 ~ Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 ~ Pin 8 is +12V main power) connections, or power supplies with
only 8-pin (Pin 1 ~ Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 ~ Pin 8 is +12V standby power) connections.

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

are inadequate.

Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use a
power supply that contains a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector, or only an 8-pin
power connector. You may either connect the power supply to both the 24-pin power
connector (JPW1) and the 8-pin power connector (JPV1) on the motherboard, or only
the 8-pin power connector.

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 website 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 Serial Port

The X10SRM-F/-TF motherboard supports two serial communication connections. COM Ports
1 and 2 can be used for input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a 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 support high-speed serial communication devices.115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced
speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid damaging 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 motherboard 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 motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

X10SRM-F/-TF User Manual

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 the motherboard and the chassis match.
Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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.

2.4 Memory Support and Installation

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to pre-

vent any possible damage.

Memory Support

The X10SRM-F/-TF supports up to 128GB of 2133MHz Registered (RDIMM) or 256GB of
2400MHz Load Reduced (LRDIMM) DDR4 ECC memory in four memory slots. Populating
these DIMM modules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and size will result in
interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.

Note: 2400MHz speed is only supported when using the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4
processor and LRDIMM memory. Intel Xeon E5-1600/E5-2600 v3 series proces­sors only support memory frequency up to 2133MHz.

SATA Ports

Six SATA 3.0 ports are located on the X10SRM-F/-TF motherboard, supported by the Intel
C612 PCH chip. These SATA ports support RAID 0, 1, and 10. SATA ports provide serial-link
signal connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA. Refer to the tables

below for pin denitions.

Note 1: I-SATA4 and I-SATA5 are Supermicro SuperDOMs. These are yellow SATA­DOM connectors with power pins built in and do not require separate external power
cables. These connectors are backwards-compatible with non-Supermicro SATADOMS
that require an external power supply.

Note 2: For more information on the SATA HostRAID conguration, please refer to the

Intel SATA HostRAID user's guide posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com.

iPass connector

The X0SRM-F/-TF motherboard contains an iPass connector at JS1. This slim connector
houses four I-SATA connections. Connect devices to JS1 using an internal mini-SAS to SATA
cable (model SFF-8087) (SMC P/N: CBL-0097L-03 or CBL-0288L-01).

M.2 Slot

The X0SRM-F/-TF motherboard contains one M.2 socket at JMD1. M.2 was formerly Next
Generation Form Factor (NGFF) and serves to replace mini PCI-E and mSATA. M.2 allows

for a variety of card sizes, increased functionality, and spatial efciency. The M.2 socket on

the motherboard supports PCI-E 2.0 x4 SSD (20Gb/s) cards in the 22x42mm, 22x80mm,
and 22x110mm form factors.

2.8 Jumper Settings

How Jumpers Work

To modify the operation of the motherboard, 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. See the diagram
below for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to the motherboard layout page for
jumper locations.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the
jumper is off the pins.

Connector

Pins

3 2 1

Jumper

3 2 1

Setting

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads to
prevent accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear the CMOS, use a metal object such as a

small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.

Note: Be sure to completely shut down the system, and then short JBT1 to clear the
CMOS.

and mouse.

3. Remove all add-on cards.

4. Install the CPU (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the front panel connectors to

the motherboard.

No Power

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

2. Make sure that the ATX power connectors are properly connected.

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

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

5. 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.

67

X10SRM-F/-TF User Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on and LE6 is green but you have no video, remove all add-on cards and

cables.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes are present. 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).

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display POST (Power-On-Self-Test) or does not respond after the
power is turned on, check the following:

1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.

• If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules installed. If there

is still no error beep, replace the motherboard.

• If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and con-

tacting both pads on the CMOS clear jumper (JBT1). Refer to Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.

2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make

sure that system power is on and that memory error beeps are activated.

3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system boots, check for

bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors Troubleshooting procedure
in this chapter.

Memory Errors

When a no-memory beep code is issued by the system, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that the

DIMMs are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility, refer to the memory
compatibility chart posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that

you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of ECC DDR4 modules recommended by

the manufacturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among all memory

slots and check the results.

68

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the instructions

given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM population tables listed in Section 2-4

to install your memory modules.

Losing the System's Setup Conguration

1. Make sure that you are using a high-quality power supply. A poor-quality power supply

may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Chapter 2 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.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the following:

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported and that you have the latest

BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing the

modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Refer to the product page on our website at http:\\www.supermicro.com for
memory and CPU support and updates.

3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the

bad HDDs with good ones.

4. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and CPU/

system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings in the IPMI
to make sure that the CPU and system temperatures are within the normal range. Also
check the front panel Overheat LED and make sure that it is not on.

5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power to

the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected. Please refer to our
website for more information on the minimum power requirements.

6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

69

X10SRM-F/-TF User Manual

B. If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the following:

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working

properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD and CD/DVD-ROM.

2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working

properly.

3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary

components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (but

with the CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the
steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting procedures.

4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a component in

question from the chassis, and test it in isolation to make sure that it works properly.
Replace a bad component with a good one.

5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several items at the

same time. This will help isolate and identify the problem.

6. To nd out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to see if the

system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad. You can also install the
component in question in another system. If the new system works, the component is
good and the old system has problems.
