platforms

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

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

An onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan the voltages of the onboard chipset,
memory, CPU, and battery. 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. Real time voltage levels are displayed in IPMI.

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 in the BMC monitor the 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®. 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, 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

Super X11SCW-F User's Manual

Windows Server 2016 (64-bit, MSFT Inbox graphic drivers), RedHat Enterprise Linux Server
(64-bit), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (64-bit), and Ubuntu Server (64-bit) 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 where
noisy power transmission is present.

The X11SCW-F motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most

power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.

In addition, one 12V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure adequate power to
the system.

Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use
power supplies that contain 24-pins and 8-pins, respectively. Be sure to connect the
power supplies to the 24-pin power connector (JPWR1), and the 8-pin power connector
(JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so may 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 and is SSI compliant. (For more information, please refer

to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/).

1.7 Serial Port

The X11SCW-F motherboard supports two serial communication connections. COM Port 1
and COM Header 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.

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 that your computer chassis provides excellent conduc-

tivity 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.

2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the LGA lands

(gold contacts) of the CPU or CPU socket. Improper installation or socket misalignment can
cause serious damage to the CPU or motherboard, which may result in RMA repairs. Please
read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing your CPU and heatsink.

Important:

• Always connect the power cord last, and unplug it before adding, removing, or changing

any hardware components. You must install the processor into the CPU socket before you
install the heatsink.

• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-directional

heatsink only.

• Install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.

• When receiving a motherboard without a pre-intstalled processor, check that a plastic

protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins are bent. If they are,
contact your retailer.

• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

Installing the LGA 1151 Processor

1. Press the load lever down to release the load plate from its locking position.

Note: You can only install the CPU in one direction. Make sure it is properly inserted

into the socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force
it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check
that the CPU is properly aligned.

Installing an Active CPU Heatsink with Fan

1. Locate the CPU fan header on the motherboard (FAN1: CPU FAN).

2. Position the heatsink so that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan header
and are not interfering with other components.

3. Inspect the CPU fan wires to make sure they are routed through the bottom of the
heatsink.

4. Remove the thin layer of protective lm from the heatsink. CPU overheating may occur if

the protective lm is not removed from the heatsink.

5. Apply the proper amount of thermal grease on the CPU. If your heatsink came with a
thermal pad, please ignore this step.

Unit Identier Switch/UID LED Indicator

A Unit Identier (UID) switch and an LED indicator are located on the motherboard. The UID

switch is located at JUIDB1, which is next to the VGA port on the back panel. The UID LED
(LE1) is located next to the UID switch. When you press the switch, the LED will be turned

on, which provides easy identication of a system unit that may be in need of service. Press

the switch again to turn off the LED indicator.

Note: UID can also be triggered via IPMI on the motherboard. For more information
on IPMI, please refer to the IPMI User's Guide posted on our website: https://www.

SATA Ports

The X11SCW-F has six SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA2 ~ I-SATA7) supported by the Intel C246
chipset. These SATA ports support RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. SATA ports provide serial-link signal
connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.

Note: Supermicro SuperDOMs are yellow SATADOM connectors with power pins built

in and do not require separate external power cables. These connectors are backwards
compatible with non-Supermicro SATADOMS that require an external power supply.

M.2 Slot

The X11SCW-F motherboard has two M.2 slots. M.2 was formerly known as Next Generation
Form Factor (NGFF) and serves to replace mini PCI-E. M.2 allows for a variety of card sizes,

increased functionality, and spatial efciency. The hybrid M.2-H_1 slot supports PCI-E 3.0 x4

(32 Gb/s) SSD cards in a 2260/2280/2210 form factor or SATA 3.0, while the M.2-P_1 slot
only supports PCI-E 3.0 x4.

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

below 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.

Connector

Pins

Jumper

Setting

3 2 1

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.

Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

does not, replace it with a new one.

58

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

No Video

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

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

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. If the alarm is on, check the
specs of the memory modules, reset the memory, or try a different one.

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

When a no-memory beep code is issued by the system, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and are properly
installed. See Chapter 2 for installation instructions. (For memory compatibility, refer
to the "Tested Memory List" link on the motherboard's product page to see a list of

supported memory.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that
you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of ECC DDR4 modules recommended by
the manufacturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among all memory
slots and observing the results.

59

Super X11SCW-F User's Manual

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 Chapter 2 for
details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. 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's 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, 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 that the front panel Overheat LED is not on.

5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power
to the system and 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.

60

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards), and use the minimum conguration (but with

a CPU and memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the steps
listed in Section A 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 motherboard supports UDIMM DDR4 ECC memory. To enhance memory

performance, do not mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. 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/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. 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.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent possible
system boot failure.

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 the 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

BIOS

4.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the 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 the 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 the 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 a feature 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>, <F2>, <F3>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time
during the setup navigation process.
