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

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.

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.
