1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
The X11SRA and X11SRA-F/-RF motherboards support a single Intel Xeon W-21xx series
processor in the LGA2066 socket. With the Intel C422 PCH, the X11SRA/-F/-RF is a highend, multi-GPU workstation motherboard that offers reliablity and stability. It offers the latest
high-performance features such as NVMe, M.2/U.2 storage interfaces, and DDR4 memory
with speeds of up to 2666MHz.
The X11SRA/-F/-RF supports the following features:
• ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 4.0a
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• Congurable TDP (cTDP) and Lower-Power Mode
• Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
• PCI-E 3.0, SATA 3.0, NVMe, U.2 and M.2 connectors
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specication 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 X11SRA/-F/-RF 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. Refer to the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
18
Page 19
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.4 System Health Monitoring
The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that
supports system health monitoring.
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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. 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 BIOS Thermal Management through the back panel.
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-dened 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 airow 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 congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when system temperatures,
CPU temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.
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 CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives, and printers.

Page 20
Super X11SRA/-F/-RF User's Manual
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 7, Windows 8, 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.
The X11SRA/-F/-RF motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.
In addition, one 12V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure adequate power supply
to the system.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use
power supplies that contain 24-pin and 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect
the power supplies to the 24-pin power connector (JPWR2) and the 8-pin power
connector (JPWR1) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so may void the manufacture warranty on your power supply and motherboard.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power
supply Specication 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 noises. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid
problems caused by power surges.
1.7 Serial Port
The X11SRA/-F/-RF motherboard supports one serial communication connection. COM1
header 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 prevent damage to your
motherboard, 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 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.

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.

2.8 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. Refer to 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.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to
prevent accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear the CMOS, use a metal object such as a
small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.
Note: Shut down the system and then short JBT1 to clear the CMOS.

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 2.7 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.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: Refer to the product page on our website at http://www.supermicro.com for
memory and CPU support and updates.
3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the
bad HDDs with good ones.

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

BIOS Error POST (Beep) Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed upon each system
boot, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue to boot. These
error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue with boot up. If a fatal error occurs, you
should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table
below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.
