X9DRW-3F/X9DRW-iF 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 voltage monitor will scan the voltages of onboard chips,

memory modules, processors, battery, and other critical components continuously.

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 system temperature, CPU temperature, 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

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 2008 and Windows

7 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 X9DRW-3F/X9DRW-iF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power sup-

plies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specications required

by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections

(JPW2/JPW3) 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 power and one 4-pin 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

X9DRW-3F/X9DRW-iF 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 Super I/O

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 the motherboard

includes the following:

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 1.5/20 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 Version 2.0 depends

on the power supply used in the system.

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 Introduction to the IPMI Controller

This motherboard incorporates the Renesas IPMI Controller, which integrates a

RISC (Reduced _Instruction_Set_Computing) CPU Core with peripheral capabili-

ties required for a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The Renesas IPMI

Controller offers the user a superb solution to manage PC server systems with

great efciency.

The BMC controller supports a 32Kb_instruction cache and a 32Kb_operand cache,

which can be switched between write-back and write-through. The instruction cache

1-14

Chapter 1: Overview

offers a 4-way full-associative instruction TBL (Translation Lookaside Buffer) and a

64-way full-associative shared TBL. The memory management unit, which is embed-

ded on the chip, provides access to 4 Gb virtual address space. In addition, this

controller also supports 32 Kb on-chip SRAM, allowing for faster access which is

especially critical to time-sensitive, high-density/high-performance server platforms.

The BMC supports VGA Graphic Cores for remote video displaying and editing. It

also provides a video data compressor for Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) support if

keyboard/mouse are installed in the system. With two Ethernet controllers built in,

the BMC controller supports USB media hosting, an LPC bus interface, an I2C bus

interface, a NAND Flash Timer Interface and serial communication interfaces. The

BMC controller offers great system enhancement at a low cost.
