1-11
X9SRi/X9SRE Motherboard Series User’s Manual
1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine 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 a power-on state.
See the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting
is Last State.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an
onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An
onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU Vcore,
12V Scale, DIMM, 1.5V, 3.3V Vcc(V), Vcc5V, CPU VTT, 3.3VSB, and Battery Volt-
age. 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 dene the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The
onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS
(under the Hardware Monitoring section in the Advanced Setting).
Environmental Temperature Control
The 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-dened
threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the ther-
mal sensor detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn
on the thermal fans 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 airow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when the system is used with Supero Doctor III in
1-12
Chapter 1: Introduction
the Windows OS environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero
Doctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can
also congure Supero Doctor to provide you with warnings when the system
temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened
thresholds.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-
tion denes 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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows XP, 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 to blink
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.
This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are
inadequate. In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connector located at JPW2 is also
required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply
must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning! 1. To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard,
please use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and a 8-pin power con-
nectors. Be sure to connect these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the
1-13
X9SRi/X9SRE Motherboard Series User’s Manual
8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will
void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.
2. To provide adequate power to SATA devices, please connect the SATA
DOM PWR connector (JWF1) to the power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the web site 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 Conguration
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 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller
The Nuvoton WPCM450R Controller is a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
that supports 2D/VGA-compatible Graphics cores, Virtual Media, and Keyboard/
Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR) modules. With blade-oriented Super I/O capabil-
ity built in, the WPCM450R Controller is ideal for legacy-reduced server platforms.
The WPCM450R interfaces with a host system via PCI interface to communicate
with the Graphics core. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote keyboard/mouse/
virtual media emulation. It also provides LPC interface to control Super IO functions.
The WPCM450R is connected to the network via an external Ethernet PHY module.
The WPCM450R communicates with onboard components via six SMBus inter-
faces, fan control, and Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) buses.

Installation
2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid dam-
aging your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufcient 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 your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard
battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
2-1
X9SRi/X9SRE Motherboard Series User’s Manual
2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area.
Important:
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding,
removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you in-
stall the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied
multi-directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install
the CPU heatsink.
When receiving a server board without a processor pre-installed, make
sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket
pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
