Chapter 1: Introduction

1.2 Processor Overview

The Intel Xeon D-2100 series SoC processor family, with up to 16 cores and up to 100W of
power, offers performance, reliability, and high intelligence. As a low-power system-on-a-chip
motherboard, the X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F is optimized for a variety of
workloads that requires high compute power in a compact form-factor.

• ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 4.0a

• Intel Turbo Boost Technology

• Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring

• PCI-E 3.0, SATA 3.0, NVMe

• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specication Version 2.0

• Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT)

• Intel Rapid Storage Technology

• Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)

1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the
X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard
System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health monitoring.

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

The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that
supports system health monitoring.

17

X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F User's Manual

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. Users 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 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 monitor 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® in the Windows OS or in the Linux
environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,

you can congure SuperDoctor 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 CD-ROMs, 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 2012/R2 and 2016 Server operating systems.

Chapter 1: Introduction

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 X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F motherboard supports both +12V DC and
ATX power input. Either option requires an 8-pin 12V connection to the JPV1 header, with
an ATX power input requiring an additional connection using PN: CBL-PWEX-1063 between
header PJ1 and the 24-pin power connector of an ATX power supply. PJ1 allows motherboard
control of the 5VStby, power on, power good, and ground signals from the ATX power supply.
Refer to the diagram below for the proper connection to PJ1 for ATX power input.

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 website 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.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your
motherboard, 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 your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity

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.

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.

2.3 Memory Support and Population

Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to pre-

vent any possible damage.

Memory Support

The X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F motherboard supports up to 256GB of ECC
RDIMM or 512GB of ECC LRDIMM DDR4 memory in four memory slots. Populating these
DIMM slots with memory modules of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory,
which will improve memory performance.
