1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health monitoring.

Page 19

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.

1.4 System Health Monitoring

This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/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. 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 BIOS.

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.

Page 20

X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F User's Manual

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.

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.

Note 1: The X11SSZ Series motherboard alternatively supports an 8-pin 12V DC input power supply at JPW2 for embedded applications. The 12V DC input is limited to 30A by design. It provides up to 360W power input to the motherboard. Please keep the onboard power usage within the power limits specied above. Overcurrent power usage may cause damage to the motherboard.

Note 2: Please connect both the 8-pin DC power at JPW2 and JPW1 to make sure the CPU receives enough power for normal operation when using the ATX power supply.

Installation

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. 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.

Page 22

X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F 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.

Fan Headers

There are six 4-pin fan headers on the motherboard. Although pins 1-3 of the fan headers are backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans, we recommend you use 4-pin fans to take advantage of the fan speed control via Pulse Width Modulation through the BMC. This

allows the fan speeds to be automatically adjusted based on the motherboard temperature.

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 at right 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 and the external CMOS battery installed on J18.

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. Install the batteries, 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.

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

5. Remove all add-on cards.

6. Install a CPU, a heatsink*, and connect the internal speaker and the power LED to the

motherboard. Check all jumper settings as well. (Make sure that the heatsink is fully

seated.)

7. Use the correct type of onboard CMOS battery (CR2032) as recommended by the manufacturer. To avoid possible explosion, do not install the CMOS battery upside down.

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. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

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

5. 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.

Page 60

X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F 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.

3. CPU integrated graphic (DVI, DP1/2) might have to be enabled in the BIOS setup.

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

contacting 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

1. Make sure that ECC memory is used for the Xeon E3-1200 v5 series processor and Non-ECC mrmory is used for the Core i7/i5 processor.

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.

4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

Page 61

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 1.6 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: 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.

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 IPMI 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.

Page 62

X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F User's Manual

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.

3.3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The X11SSZ-TLN4F motherboard supports up to 64GB Unbuffered ECC/Non-

ECC UDIMM, DDR4-2133MHz, in four DIMM slots. The X11SSZ-QF supports up to 64GB Unbuffered Non-ECC UDIMM, DDR4-2133MHz, in four DIMM 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. 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 AMI.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.
