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 dene 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-dened

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 airow 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 congure Supero Doctor to provide you with warnings when the system

temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened

thresholds.

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 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 specications 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 Specication 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 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 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 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 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-certied

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.

Chapter 2: Installation

3. Once it is aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do

not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or verti-

cally.

4. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to

avoid damaging the CPU or the socket.)

5. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make

sure that the CPU is properly installed.

6. To close and lock the socket, close the load plate with the CPU. Lock the

'Close 1st' lever rst, then lock the 'Open 1st' lever second. Use your thumb

to gently push the load levers down to the lever locks.

Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the re-

quired amount has already been applied.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are

aligned with those on the Motherboard's and the Heatsink Bracket under-

neath.

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug

(-do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

Memory Support

The X9SRi/X9SRE motherboard series supports up to 256GB of

1600/1066/1333/1600 MHz ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs in eight (8) memory

slots (UDIMM/RDIMM). Populating these DIMM modules with a pair of memory

modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which

will improve memory performance. Please refer to the table below:

Memory Population Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the follow-

ing order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1 then DIMMA2, DIMMB2, DIMMC2,

DIMMD2.

• Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed

of the slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard will support 1 ,3 ,5 ,or 7 modules. However, for best memory

performance, install DIMM modules in pairs (2, 4, 6, 8, as below).

2-4 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.

Fan Headers (FAN1~4, FANA)

The X9SRi/X9SRE series has ve fan headers

(Fan 1~Fan 4 and Fan A). These fans are 4-pin

fan headers. Pins 1-3 of these fan headers are

backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin

fans. However, the fan speed control setting

in the BIOS Hardware Monitoring section will

only work with 4-pin fans. This allows the BIOS

to automatically set fan speeds based on the

system temperature. Refer to the table on the

right for pin denitions and fan usage.

Note: We recommend that 4-pin fans

are used on the motherboard.

Chassis Intrusion (JL1)

A Chassis Intrusion header is located at JL1 on

the motherboard. Attach the appropriate cable

from the chassis to inform you of a chassis intru-

sion when the chassis is opened.

T-SGPIO 1/2 & 3-SGPIO 1/2 Headers

Two T-SGPIO (Serial-Link General Pur-

pose Input/Output) headers are located

next to the I-SATA Ports on the mother-

board. Additionally, two 3-SGPIO ports

(for SAS) are also located next to JUSB

8/9 . These headers are used to com-

municate with the enclosure manage-

ment chip in the system. See the table

on the right for pin denitions. Refer to

the board layout below for the locations

of the headers.

TPM Header (JTPM1)

This header is used to connect a

Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which

is available from a third-party vendor.

A TPM is a security device that sup-

ports encryption and authentication

in hard drives. It enables the moth-

erboard to deny access if the TPM

associated with the hard drive is not

installed in the system. See the table

on the right for pin denitions.

X9SRi/X9SRE Motherboard Series User’s Manual

Unit ID Switch (UID SW)

The rear UID switch, the rear UID LED and

front UID LED on JF1 are designed to work

together. When the user pushes the rear

UID switch, the blue backpanel UID LED

and front UID LED will turn on. Push the

rear UID switch again to turn off UID LED

and the front UID LED. This provides easy

identication of a system unit that may be

in need of service.

Overheat/Fan Fail LED (JOH1)

The JOH1 header is used to connect an

LED to provide warnings of chassis over-

heat. This LED will also blink to indicate a

fan failure. Refer to the table on right for

pin denitions.

X9SRi/X9SRE Motherboard Series User’s Manual

2-7 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the mother-

board, 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.

Note: On two pin jumpers,

"Closed" means the jumper is

on, and "Open" means the jumper

is off the pins.

LAN Port Enable/Disable (JPL1~2)

Jumpers JPL1/JPL2 enable or disable

LAN Port 1/LAN Port 2 on the moth-

erboard. See the table on the right for

jumper settings. The default setting is

enabled.

Chapter 2: Installation

CMOS Clear (JBT1)

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.

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

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

PCI-E Slot SMB Enable (JI2C1/JI2C2)

Use Jumpers JI2C1/JI2C2 to enable PCI-E

SMB (System Management Bus) support

to improve system management for the

PCI-E slots. See the table on the right for

jumper settings.

VGA Enable (JPG1)

JPG1 allows you to enable or disable the

onboard VGA connector. The default posi-

tion is on pins 1 and 2 to enable VGA. See

the table on the right for jumper settings.

Watch Dog Reset (JWD1)

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system moni-

tor that can reboot the system when a

software application hangs. Close Pins

1-2 to reset the system if an applica-

tion hangs. Close Pins 2-3 to generate a

non-maskable interrupt signal for the ap-

plication that hangs. See the table on the

right for jumper settings. Watch Dog must

also be enabled in the BIOS.

USB Wake-Up (JPUSB1)

Use the jumper JPUSB1 to "wake-up"

your system by pressing a key on a USB

keyboard or clicking the USB mouse con-

nected to the backpanel USB Ports 0/1.

JPUSB1 is used together with a USB

Wake-Up feature in the BIOS. Enable this

jumper and the USB support in the BIOS to

wake up your system via USB devices.

Note: When the USB is set to Enabled

in the BIOS, and JPUSB1 is set to Dis-

abled, remove the USB devices from

Backplane USB Ports 0/1 before the

system goes into the standby mode.

BMC Enable/Disable (JPB1)

JPB1 is used to enable or disable the

BMC (Baseboard Management Control)

chip and the onboard IPMI connection.

This jumper is used together with the IPMI

settings in the BIOS. See the table on the

right for jumper settings. Supported on the

X9SRi-3F and X9SRE-3F only.

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to make sure that it still

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

3-1

X9SRi/X9SRE Motherboard Series User’s Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-

move all the add-on cards and cables rst.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A

for details on beep codes.)

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on,

check the specs of memory modules, reset the memory or try a different one.)

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in

the slots.

2. You should be using memory recommended by Supermicro (see Section 2-3).

Also, it is recommended that you use the memory modules of the same type

and speed for all DIMMs in the system. Do not use memory modules of differ-

ent sizes, different speeds and different types on the same motherboard.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to

see if you can locate the faulty ones.

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

When You Lose the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-

ply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section

1-5 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.

Appendix A

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time

the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue

with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to bootup. If a fatal error oc-

curs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.

The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the

corresponding error.
