1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SSN-H/-E/-L motherboard.
The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health
monitoring.

20

Chapter 1: Introduction

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.

Note 1: Before setting the Recovery from AC Power Loss function in the BIOS, please

adjust force power on jumper JPF1 to pins 2-3 to disable the force power on function .

1.4 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.

1.5 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.

21

X11SSN-H/-E/-L User's Manual

1.6 Super I/O

The Super I/O (NCT6106D chip) provides four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial
communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each
UART includes a 128 byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete
modem control capability, and a processor interrupt system. UARTs provide legacy speed
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 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.

The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be exibly adjusted to meet

ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).

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 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.

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.

X11SSN-H/-E/-L User's Manual

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.

Troubleshooting

3.1 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all of the
procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support Procedures’ and/
or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter. Always disconnect the AC
power cord before adding, changing or installing any non hot-swap hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Check that the power LED on the motherboard is on.

2. Make sure that the power connector is connected to your power supply.

3. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis.

4. Disconnect all cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and
mouse.

5. Remove all add-on cards.

6. Install a heatsink and connect the power to the motherboard. Make sure that the

heatsink is fully seated. Check all jumper settings as well.

7. Use the correct type of CMOS battery (CR2032) as recommended by the manufacturer.

No Power

1. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chassis.

2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

4. 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.

49

X11SSN-H/-E/-L User's Manual

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.

Note: If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recom­mended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to Appendix B.

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 beep 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

removing the battery from BT1, then short pins 1 and 2 for approximately four seconds
and install the battery into BT1.

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.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.

2. Conrm 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.

50

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

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 1.5 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. 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.

2. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the
bad HDDs with good ones.

3. Heatsink: Check that the heatsink is installed properly.

4. 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.

5. 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/DVD and CD/DVD-ROM.

2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.

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.

51

X11SSN-H/-E/-L User's Manual

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.

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
ACPI features on the motherboard.

BIOS

4.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the X11SSN 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 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>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during
the setup navigation process.

A.1 BIOS Error POST (Beep) Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system
is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up
process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. 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.

Appendix D

UEFI BIOS Recovery

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue. Flashing

the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall Supermicro
be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS
update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS
is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

D.1 Overview

The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface
between the operating system and the platform rmware in the pre-boot environment. The
UEFI specication supports an architecture-independent mechanism that will allow the UEFI

OS loader stored in an add-on card to boot the system. The UEFI offers clean, hands-off
management to a computer during system boot.

D.2 Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image

A UEFI BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main

BIOS image). The boot block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and

recovery codes for the user to ash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is
corrupted. When the system power is rst turned on, the boot block codes execute rst. Once

this process is completed, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and the
remaining POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines.

Note 1: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main
BIOS boot crashes.

Note 2: When the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures
to make a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request. (For a RMA request,
please see section 3.5 for more information). Also, you may use the Supermicro Up­date Manager (SUM) Out-of-Band (OOB) (https://www.supermicro.com.tw/products/

nfo/SMS_SUM.cfm) to reash the BIOS.

D.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device without

additional utilities used. A USB ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB CD/DVD

ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be
used for BIOS recovery at this time.

98

Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery

The le system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) which is

installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need

several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM le if the media size becomes too large due to
the huge volumes of folders and les stored in the device.

To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.

1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the disc Root "\"
directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.

Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your driver disk, visit our website

at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB ash device and
rename it "Super.ROM" for BIOS recovery use.

2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB
drive and power on the system

3. While powering on the system, please keep pressing <Ctrl> and <Home> simultaneously
on your keyboard until the following screen (or a screen similar to the one below)
displays.

Warning: Please stop pressing the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys immediately when you see the
screen (or a similar screen) below; otherwise, it will trigger a system reboot.

Note: On the other hand, if the following screen displays, please load the "Super.

ROM" le to the root folder and connect this folder to the system. (You can do so by

inserting a USB device that contains the new "Super.ROM" image to your machine
for BIOS recovery.)

X11SSN-H/-E/-L User's Manual

4. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery
menu as shown below.

Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start the BIOS recovery. If you decide
to proceed with BIOS recovery, follow the procedures below.

5. When the screen as shown above displays, use the arrow keys to select the item

"Proceed with ash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the BIOS recovery

progress as shown in the screen below.

Note: Do not interrupt the BIOS ashing process until it has completed.
