1.4a System Health Monitoring (X11SCZ-Q)

This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SCZ-Q motherboard. The
motherboard supports system health monitoring through the Super I/O.

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.

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 enable 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 adjust the fan RPM to prevent the CPU

from overheating.

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.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4b System Health Monitoring (X11SCZ-F)

This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SCZ-F motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports
system health monitoring. 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.

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 and IPMI interface.

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. Refer to the below table for
available fan modes to choose the most appropriate one of nominal operation.

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 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

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 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.

1.7 Super I/O

The Super I/O (NCT6116D) 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
higher speed modems.

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.

Installation

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.

22

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.

DP++ Ports

The motherboard has two DisplayPorts located on the I/O back panel. DisplayPort, developed
by the VESA consortium, delivers digital display and fast refresh rate. It can connect to virtu­ally any display device using a DisplayPort adapter for devices such as VGA, DVI or HDMI.

DVI-I Port

A DVI-I port is located on the I/O back panel. Use this port to connect to a compatible DVI
(Digital Visual Interface) display.

VGA Port (X11SCZ-F only)

A video port from the BMC controller is located on the I/O back panel. Use this port to connect
to a compatible VGA display.

I-SATA 3.0 Ports

The X11SCZ-F/Q has ve I-SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0 - I-SATA4). 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. These SATA ports
support RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. All 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 slot (JMD1) 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 or SATA storage
device in 2282 and 22110 form factors.

Fan Headers

There are six (ve on X11SCZ-Q) 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 Thermal Management (via Hardware Monitoring) in the BIOS.
For X11SCZ-F, the fan speed is controlled by the BMC; for X11SCZ-Q, it is controlled by the
Super I/O.

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 the pins and Open means
the jumper is off.

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.

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 in the
BIOS (X11SCZ-Q) or in IPMI (X11SCZ-F) 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.

62

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

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.

Answer: The X11SCZ-Q motherboard supports up to 64GB of DDR4 Non-ECC UDIMM and

X11SCZ-F motherboard supports up to 64GB of DDR4 ECC/Non-ECC UDIMM with speeds
of up to 2666MHz in four 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/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. 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?

BIOS

4.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the X11SCZ-F/-Q 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 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.
