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.

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
18
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.7 Super I/O
The Super I/O (NCT6106D) 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 as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, supporting

TPM Header
The JTPM1 header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)/Port 80, which is
available from a third-party vendor. A TPM/Port 80 connector is a security device that supports
encryption and authentication in hard drives. It allows the motherboard to deny access if the
TPM associated with the hard drive is not installed in the system. See the layout below for
the location of the TPM header.

I-SATA 3.0 Ports
The X11SCV-Q has ve I-SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0 - I-SATA4), while X11SCV-L has four
(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. All these SATA ports provide serial-link signal connections,
which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.
M.2 Slot
There is one M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot that supports M Key 2242/2280 and one M.2 PCI-E x1
CNVi slot that supports E Key 2230. M.2 is formerly known as Next Generation Form Factor
(NGFF) and designed for internal mounting devices.

Fan Headers
There are three 4-pin fan headers on the motherboard. Although these are 4-pin fan headers,
pins 1-3 are backward compatible with traditional 3-pin fans. The onboard fan speeds are
controlled by the Thermal Management (via Hardware Monitoring) in the BIOS. When using
the Thermal Management setting, please use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans.

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 identied 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.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS, which will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins, this jumper
consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.
To Clear CMOS:
1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. Remove the cover of the chassis to access the motherboard.
3. Remove the onboard battery from the motherboard.
4. Short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver for at least four
seconds.
5. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
6. Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord(s), and power on the system.
Note: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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. Conrm 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.
57
Super X11SCV-Q/-L User's Manual
Losing the System's Setup Conguration
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 conguration 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 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.
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.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
58
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (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 X11SCV-Q/-L motherboard supports up to 32GB of DDR4 Non-ECC SO-DIMM
with speeds of up to 2666MHz in two slots. See Section 2.4 for details on installing memory.
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. 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. You can choose from the zip le and the .exe le. If
you choose the zip BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable USB device. Run
the batch le using the format FLASH.BAT lename.rom from your bootable USB device to
ash the BIOS. Then, your system will automatically reboot.
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
