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: The motherboard offers a Force-On mode setting via jumper JAT1, putting it into

AT mode for special applications that require the system to always power on when AC
plugged in or when recovering from a power loss. Please refer to section 2.8 Jumper
Settings.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. The user

can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time

readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in BIOS.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The system health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The CPU and
chassis fans are controlled by the BIOS Thermal Management.

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 thermal 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 provide adequate airow to your

system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5® in the Windows® operating system or
in the Linux environment. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the user of certain system events.

For example, you can congure SuperDoctor 5 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 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 operating system.

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
X11SCQ/-L motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. In addition, the 12V
8-pin power connector located at JPW2 is always required to ensure adequate power supply
to the CPU.

Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, use a power supply that
contains a 24-pin and a 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect the power supplies to
the 24-pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the motherboard. Failure in
doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

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 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.

1.7 Super I/O

The Super I/O (NCT6776D) provides high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UART), which support serial infrared communication. The UART includes send/receive
FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a
processor interrupt system. The UART provides legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2
Kbps.

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.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid damaging
your motherboard and your system, 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.

Super X11SCQ/-L User's 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.

I-SATA 3.0 Ports

The X11SCQ has six I-SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0 - I-SATA5), whereas the X11SCQ-L has four
SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0 - I-SATA3). I-SATA0 can be used with Supermicro SuperDOMs that
are yellow SATA DOM connectors with power pins built in, and do not require external power
cables. Supermicro SuperDOMs are backward compatible with regular SATA HDDs or SATA
DOMs that need external power cables.

M.2 Slot (X11SCQ only)

There is one M.2 slot on the motherboard. M.2 is formerly known as Next Generation Form
Factor (NGFF). The M.2 slot is designed for a M-key PCI-E 3.0 x4 storage device in 2242,
2282, and 22110 form factors.

General Purpose I/O Header

The JGP1 (General Purpose Input/Output) header is a general purpose I/O expander on a

pin header via the SMBus. Each pin can be congured to be an input pin or output pin in

2.54mm pitch. The GPIO is controlled via the PCA9554APW 8-bit GPIO expansion from PCH
SMBus. The base address is 0xEFA0. The expander slave address is 0x70 for WRITE and

0x71 for READ.. See the table below for pin denitions.

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
at right 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.

Chapter 3

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 non hot-swap hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Check that the standby power LED on the motherboard is on.

2. Make sure that the power connector is connected to your power supply.

3. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis.

4. Disconnect all cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and
mouse.

5. Remove all add-on cards.

6. Install a CPU, a heatsink, and connect the internal speaker and the power LED to the

motherboard. Check all jumper settings as well. (Make sure that the heatsink is fully

seated.)

7. Use the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as recommended by the manufacturer.
To avoid possible explosion, do not install the CMOS battery upside down.

No Power

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

2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check that 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 verify that it still supplies
~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

57

Super X11SCQ/-L User's Manual

No Video

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

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A for details on
beep codes.

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 beeps 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 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

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

2. Conrm that you are using the correct memory. Also, it is recommended that you use
the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2.4 for
memory details.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting
the results.

4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

58

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

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 Section 1.6 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: Click on the Tested Memory List link on the motherboard product page to see
a list of supported memory.

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 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.

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 a 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.

3.3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The X11SCQ supports up to 64GB of Non-ECC DDR4 UDIMM with speeds of up

to 2666MHz in four slots. The X11SCQ-L supports up to 32GB of Non-ECC DDR4 UDIMM
with speeds of up to 2666MHz in two slots.

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/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html. Please check our BIOS warning

message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our website. Select your

motherboard model and download the BIOS 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 USB stick. (Note: The USB stick doesn't have to be bootable, but
has to be formatted with the FAT/FAT32 le system.) Plug the USB stick into any USB port,

boot to the Build-In UEFI Shell, select the item in the boot menu by pressing F11 key during
boot up, and type FLASH.nsh BIOSname#.### to start the BIOS update After the message
indicating BIOS update has completed, perform an A/C power cycle.

Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?

Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode

setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities
as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is

enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the rst screen

that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for
more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature is required to implement the
ACPI features on the motherboard.

BIOS

4.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the X11SCQ/-L motherboard. The

BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a ash program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added
or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of our website for any changes to BIOS that may not be reected in

this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting up. (In
most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the 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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be congured. 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 a text message will accompany it.
(Note that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or
change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

A " " indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key will
open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these
hot keys (<F1>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process.
