1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel 8th Generation Core i7/i5/i3 and the
Q370/H310 chipset, this motherboard provides superb system performance, efcient power
management, and a rich feature set based on cutting edge technology to address the needs
of next-generation computer users. This motherboard is optimized for medical and surveillance
devices.
The Intel 8th Generation Core i7/i5/i3 processor and the Q370/H310 chipset support the
following features:
• Intel vPro, AMT 12.0, and TXT
• Intel TSX-NI, AES, and SGX Technologies
• Intel Turbo Boost and Rapid Storage Technology
• Increased platform security with Intel Boot Guard for hardware-based boot integrity protec-
tion ; prevention of buffer overow class security threads
• Three independent Graphics Displays and Intel Quick Sync Video Technology
• PCI-E 3.0, SATA 3.0, and USB 3.1
• Intel Hyper-Threading, Intel VT-d, and VT-x
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.
1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SCV-Q/-L motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports system health
monitoring.
16
Chapter 1: Introduction
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Real time readings
of these voltage levels are all displayed in BIOS. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give
a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds
to dene 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. Refer to the below table for
available fan modes to choose the most appropriate one for nominal operation.
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-dened 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 be sure to provide adequate air-
ow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5®. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the
user of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you
with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds
go beyond a predened range.
Figure 1-4. Fan Speed Modes
Fan Mode Description
Full Speed Use this mode to set fan speed at full speed for maximum system cooling
Standard Use this mode to set fan speed for normal system cooling
PUE2 Use this mode to set fan speed for best power ef ciency and maximum noise reduction
17
Super X11SCV-Q/-L User's Manual
1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication denes
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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows® 10 and Windows 2012 operating systems.
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. 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.
This motherboard accomodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies
generally meet the sepcications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, the
12V 8-pin power connector located at JPV1 is always required to ensure adequate power
supply to the CPU.
Note 1: The X11SCV-Q/L motherboard alternatively supports an 8-pin 12V DC input
power supply at JPV1 for embedded applications. The 12V DC input is limited to 30A
by design. It provides up to 360W power input to the motherboard. Keep the onboard
power usage within the power limits specied above. Over current power usage may
cause damage to the motherboard.
Note 2: Connect both the 8-pin DC power at JPV1 and JPW1 to make sure the CPU
receives enough power for normal operation when using the ATX power supply

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 sufcient 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 specied 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.

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.
