About This Manual
This manual is written for system integrators, IT technicians and knowledgeable end users. It provides information for the installation and use of the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard.
About This Motherboard
The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard provides powerful graphics and increased media processing performance with multi-frame technology. Paired with the Intel® Atom SoC (System-on-a-Chip) processor, the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN delivers more computing
power for faster memory speeds and bandwidth while maintaining energy efciency. Utilizing
Intel® TCC (Time Coordinated Computing) Technology, the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN resolves latency issues in applications and improves determinism across connected devices. The motherboard features advanced technologies such as Intel® Virtualization to improve security and reliabity of systems, and Thermal Monitoring to reduce power consumption. It also comes with more I/O ports and high-speed connectivity.
Please note that this motherboard is intended to be installed and serviced by professional technicians only. For processor/memory updates, please refer to our website at http://www.
supermicro.com/products/.

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® Atom SoC series processor, the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms. The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN drastically increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.
The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN supports the following features:
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
Video Connectors: VGA, HDMI, and LVDS
USB3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (Only supported on X11SAN and A2SAN-H)

A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN User's Manual
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.
Note: Before setting the Recovery from AC Power Loss function in the BIOS, please
adjust force power on jumper JPF1 to pins 2-3 to disable the force power-on function.
1.4 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 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® 10.
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. 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.
1.6 Super I/O
The Super I/O (NCT6106D chip) provides four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART includes a 128 byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. 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 support higher speed modems.
20
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be exibly adjusted to meet
ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).
1.7 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.
Management Engine (ME)
Intel Atom SoC only supports the TXE function, also called CSE (Converged Security Engine), which is the lite ME function.

Installation
2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your motherboard, 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 that your chassis provides excellent conductivity be-
tween the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specied by the manufacturer. Do
not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in a 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.

Chapter 2: Installation
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.

Location of Mounting Holes
Note: 1) 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) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.

A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN User's Manual
Installing the Motherboard
1. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. See the previous page for the location.
2. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.
3. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.
4. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging other motherboard components.
5. Using the Phillips screwdriver, insert a Phillips head #6 screw into a mounting hole on the motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis.
6. Repeat Step 5 to insert #6 screws into all mounting holes.
7. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.
