X9DRX+-F Motherboard User’s Manual

1-3 Special Features

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 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 Standby, Memory Voltage, Chipset

Voltage, 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.

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

to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,

voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

1-12

Chapter 1: Overview

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 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 imple-

mentation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista 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 X9DRX+-F motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although

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

are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections 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 avoid damaging your motherboard and components, please use a

power supply that supports a 24-pin, two 8-pin and one 4-pin power connectors. Be

sure to connect the 24-pin and the 8-pin power connectors to your power supply

for adequate power delivery to your system. The 4-pin power connector is optional;

however, Supermicro recommends that this connector also be plugged in for optimal

power delivery.

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

1-13

X9DRX+-F Motherboard User’s Manual

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 Serial Port Connection Support

Two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs) are sup-

ported by the BaseBoard Controller (Vuvoton WPCM450 BMC) installed on the

motherboard. 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.

Note 1: For more information on IPMI conguration, please refer to the

IPMI User's Guide posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/

support/manuals/.

Note 2: The term "IPMI controller" and the term "BMC controller" can be

used interchangeably in this section.

1-8 Advanced Power Management

The following advanced power management features are supported by this moth-

erboard:

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

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
