1-10

Chapter 1: Introduction

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: 1.8V, +3.3V,

+5V, +/-12V, +3.3V Stdby, +5V Stdby, VBAT, Memory, Chipset. Once a voltage be-

comes 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 SuperDoctor® III in the

Windows OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor

1-11

X9SRW Motherboard Series User’s Manual

is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also

congure SuperDoctor 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

8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will

void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

1-12

Chapter 1: Introduction

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 one 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.

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To

avoid damaging 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.

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct

pressure on the label area.

Notes:

•Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding,

removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install

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.

•Please proceed to the following pages for instructions on processor and

heatsink installation.

The LGA2011 Socket

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. Populate the blue-colored slots rst.

• 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 odd-numbered modules installed (1 ,3 ,5 ,or 7 mod-

ules). However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.

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.

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 against 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 Philips 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.

Fan Headers (FAN1~5)

The X9SRW series has ve fan headers (Fan

1~Fan 5). These fans are 4-pin fan headers.

Pins 1-3 of the fan headers are backward com-

patible with the traditional 3-pin fans, but will

only run at full speed. To take advantage of

the fan speed control setting in the BIOS Hard-

ware Monitoring section, please use 4-pin fans.

This will allow the BIOS to automatically set

fan speeds based on the system temperature.

Refer to the table on the right for pin denitions.

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.

Speaker (JD1)

On the JD1 header, pins 3~4 are used for

the internal speaker. Close pins 3~4 with a

jumper or cap to use the onboard speaker.

If you wish to use an external speaker, at-

tach the external speaker's cable to pins

1~4. See the table on the right for pin

denitions.

Legacy Wake-On-LAN Header (JSTBY)

The onboard LANs (LAN1 and L AN2) do

not need a WOL header to support its

Wake-On-LAN function. We preserved

the legacy WOL header to provide con-

venience for some embedded customers

who need internal power source from the

board. See the table on the right for pin

denitions.

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 USB

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.

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)

Jumper JPL1 enables or disables LAN

Port 1 on the motherboard. See the table

on the right for jumper settings. The de-

fault setting is enabled.

X9SRW Motherboard Series User’s Manual

Clear CMOS (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.

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

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

PCI Slot SMB Enable (JI2C2/JI2C3)

Use Jumpers JI2C2/JI2C3 to enable PCI

SMB (System Management Bus) support

to improve system management for the

PCI slots. See the table on the right for

jumper settings.

Watch Dog Reset (JWD)

Watch Dog (JWD) is a system monitor that

can reboot the system when a software

application hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset

the system if an application hangs. Close

Troubleshooting

3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all

of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support

Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter.

Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any

hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that the Standby is not on. (Note: If it is on, the onboard power

is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or removing the

components.)

2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for

the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

4. Install a CPU and heatsink (-be sure that it is fully seated) and then connect

the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper

settings as well.

No Power

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check if the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

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

X9SRW 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

1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.

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

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: Please see Section 2-3 for a comprehensive answer.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS les are located on

our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM le to your

computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. Please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable device

or a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch le named "ami.bat"

with the new BIOS ROM le from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive.

Use the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-lename.xxx <Enter>

Note: Always use the le named “ami.bat ” to update the BIOS, and inser t

a space between "ami.bat" and the lename. The BIOS -ROM -lename

will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X9SRW) and build version as the

extension. For example, "X9SRW1.218". When completed, your system

will automatically reboot.

When the BIOS ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and

will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS

defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F3> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F4> to save and exit. The system

will then reboot.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible system boot failure!

Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable.

guide posted at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the

system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS

setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as

<F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key

legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:

the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to

include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the

setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar-

row keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

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.

B-2 Conguring SuperDoctor® III

The SuperDoctor® III program is a Web-based management tool that supports

remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.

The local management is called the SD III Client. The SuperDoctor III program

included on the CDROM that came with your baseboard allows you to monitor the

environment and operations of your system. SuperDoctor III displays crucial system

information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the

Figure below for a display of the SuperDoctor III interface.

Note 1: The default user name and password are ADMIN.

Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the SuperDoctor III settings take

precedence over the BIOS settings. When rst installed, SuperDoctor III

adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in BIOS. Any

subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within SuperDoc-

tor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows

OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the

SDIII settings to be the same as those set in BIOS.
