X9DRH-7F/-iF/-iF-NV/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User’s Manual

1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

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 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the features of PC health monitoring of the motherboard.

This motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports

PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following onboard

voltages continuously: +1.8V, 3.3V, 3.3VSB, 5V, 5VSB, +12V, Memory, Chipset and

Battery Voltage. 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.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The PC health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard

CPU and chassis fans are controlled by IPMI Thermal Management.

Environmental Temperature Control

A thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn

on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-dened

threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects

that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan

control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry

can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when the chassis

temperature is too high.

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 III in the Windows OS

environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify

the user of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor

1-12

Page 21

Chapter 1: Overview

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ca-

tion denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard

way to integrate power management features throughout a PC 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 Vista, Windows 7, and Windows

2008 Operating Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking

to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the

CPU will "wake up" and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

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 X9DRH series motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Al-

though most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU,

some are inadequate. In addition to the 24-pin ATX power and two 12V 8-pin power

connectors (JPWR1/JPWR2) are also required to ensure adequate power supply to

the system. Your power supply must also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.

Warning: To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a power

supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect

these power supply connectors to the 24-pin power connector (J22) and two 8-pin

power connectors (JPWR1/JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will void

the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

1-13

Page 22

X9DRH-7F/-iF/-iF-NV/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User’s Manual

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.

1-7 Super I/O

The Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication

ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable

baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt

system. Both UARTs provide 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, 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 manage-

ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management

to reduce power consumption.

1-8 Advanced Power Management

The new advanced power management features supported by this motherboard

include IPNM and ME. Please note that you will need to do following to use these

two new features:

•Use a power supply that supports PMBus 1.1 or 1.2.

•Install the NMView software in your system. NMView is optional and can be

purchased from Supermicro.

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available when the NMView utility is installed in the system)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with

real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.

Although IPNM Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-

ment Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.

Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends

on the power supply used in the system.

1-14

Page 23

Chapter 1: Overview

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, pro-

vides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by

SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

1-9 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller

used interchangeably in this section.

1-10 NVDIMM Memory Support (For X9DRH-iF & -iF-NV)

Non-Volatile DIMM (NVDIMM) is a new technology that offers efcient data protec-

tion during a sudden power outage without using traditional data backup. Utilizing

the CPU's own memory bus, NVDIMM eliminates latency and power issues associ-

ated with conventional backup methods via SATA or PCI-E SDD devices, greatly

reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). This environmentally friendly technol-

ogy is ideal for data-intensive platforms such as RAID storage/cache backup, San

management, disaster recovery, and online transaction processing (OLTP).

The X9DRH-iF/-iF-NV supports NVDIMM modules at the BIOS and hardware level.

For proper operation, NVDIMM modules generally require additional OS and soft-

ware support. Supermicro motherboards support the following two "trigger methods"

which enable the NVDIMM to begin a save cycle:

•ADR (Automatic DRAM Self-Refresh)_trigger method is recommended by Intel.

In the event of a power loss, ADR will disable all higher-level CPU functions

except those related to the memory controller, allowing only a limited portion

of the CPU cache to "remain alive" for NVDIMM preservation. This method is

available for the X9DRH-iF-NV model only.

•NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt)_ trigger method is a proprietary, innovative ap-

proach jointly developed by Supermicro and Viking Technologies to allow the

system to maintain optimal CPU performance without disabling any of the cache

in the event of a power loss, allowing the NVDIMM to capture additional cache

data. This method is available for the X9DRH-iF model only

Please consult the installation guide provided by your NVDIMM vendor for proper

installation of NVDIMM modules and the corresponding Supercap. Be sure to con-

tact your Supermicro sales representatives for the most current list of supported

NVDIMM modules.

Other Important Notes and Restrictions

•For the memory modules to work properly, please install DIMM modules of the

same type, same speed and same operating frequency on the motherboard.

Mixing of RDIMMs, UDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not allowed. Do not install both

ECC and Non-ECC memory modules on the same motherboard.

•Using DDR3 DIMMs with different operating frequencies is not allowed. All chan-

nels in a system will run at the lowest common frequency.

X9DRH-7F/-iF/-iF-NV/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User’s Manual

2-5 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 motherboard and

chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-

teners, 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.

Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Tools Needed

•Phillips Screwdriver

•Pan head screws (9 pieces)

•Standoffs (9 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are nine (9) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.

X9DRH-7F/iF/iF-NV/7TF/iTF

Rev. 1.02

Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, please do

not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard

installation. 2) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take

precautionary measures to avoid damaging components when installing the moth-

erboard to the chassis.

2-16

Page 41

Chapter 2: Installation

Installing the Motherboard

1. Install the I/O shield into the chassis.

2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard.

3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes

on the motherboard with the mounting holes on the chassis.

4. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.

5. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging mother-

board components.

6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, insert a Pan head #6 screw into a mounting

hole on the motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis.

7. Repeat Step 5 to insert #6 screws into all mounting holes.

8. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.

Note: Images displayed are for illustration only. Your chassis or compo-

nents might look different from those shown in this manual.

Fan Headers

This motherboard has six system/CPU

fan headers (Fan 1~Fan 6, Fan A/Fan B)

on the motherboard. All these 4-pin fans

headers are backward compatible with

the traditional 3-pin fans. However, fan

speed control is available for 4-pin fans

only. The fan speeds are controlled by

Thermal Management via Hardware Mon-

itoring in the Advanced Setting in BIOS.

(See Chapter 5 for more details.) See the

table on the right for pin denitions.

Chassis Intrusion

A Chassis Intrusion header is located

at JL1 on the motherboard. Attach an

appropriate cable from the chassis to

inform you of a chassis intrusion when

the chassis is opened.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads

to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such

as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.

Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.

Note 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the

system, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short

JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 3: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that

can reboot the system when a software appli-

cation hangs. Close Pins 1-2 to reset the sys-

tem if an application hangs. Close Pins 2-3 to

•If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules in-

stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only

one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. 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

Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.)

2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM mod-

ules. Make sure that the system's power is on, and 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.

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 2-7 for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup-

plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

vendor for repairs.

3-2

Page 71

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Memory Errors

When a No_Memory_Beep_Code is issued by the system, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that

the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,

refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our Website @ http://www.

supermicro.com.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-

mended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load

Reduced /(LRDIMM)/Non-Volatile (NVDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM)

ECC/Non-ECC DIMM modules recommended by the manufacturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among

all memory slots and check the results.

5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the

instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in

Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. When the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check

the following:

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and you have the

latest BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-

ing 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. Re-

place the bad HDDs with good ones.

4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and

system fans work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring settings in the BIOS

to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are within the normal

3-3

Page 72

X9DRH-7F/-iF/-iF-NV/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User's Manual

range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED, and make sure that the

Overheat LED 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 minimum power require-

ment.

6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

B. When the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are

working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD disc, CD/DVD-

ROM.

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

working properly.

3. Using minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary

components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum congura-

tion (with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the problematic

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 compo-

nent 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.
