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: CPU

Vcore, +3.3V, +5V, +/-12V, +3.3V Stdby, VBAT. Memory. 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

the Windows OS environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero

1-11

X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF Series User’s Manual

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

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 (JSD1) 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 Advanced Power Management (for -F Models Only)

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)

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 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-

ability Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.

Manageability Engine (ME)

The Manageability Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH,

provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by

SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

2-2 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.

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct

pressure on the label area of the fan.

Notes:

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.

2-4 Installing DDR3 Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM

modules to prevent any possible damage.

DIMM Installation

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with

DIMM2A. (For best performance, please use the memory modules of the

same type and speed in the same bank.)

2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.

3. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory

slot.

4. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points on

the ends of the slot.

Notches

X9SCM/X9SCL(-F) Rev.1.0

Release Tabs

5. Use two thumbs together to press the notches on both ends of the module

straight down into the slot until the module snaps into place.

Press both notches

straight down into

the memory slot.

6. Press the release tabs to the lock positions to secure the DIMM module into

the slot.

Removing Memory Modules

Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMM modules from the motherboard.

X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF Series User's Manual

Memory Support

The X9SCM-II/X9SCL-II series supports up to 32GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3

ECC 1600/1333/1066 MHz DIMMs in 4 memory slots.

DIMM2B (Blue Slot) DIMM1B

DIMM2A (Blue Slot) DIMM1A

Memory Population Guidelines

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

order: DIMM2A, DIMM2B, DIMM1A and DIMM1B.

• 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 one DIMM module or three DIMM modules installed,

but it is recommended that a balanced DIMM population (installed in pairs) are

followed for best performance.

Note: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that

remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of R AM is used.

The reduction in memory availability is disproportional.

For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in the Win-

dows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specic

to the behavior of Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode which improves driver

compatibility. For more information, please read the following article at Microsoft’s

2-5 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

The X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF has ve fan headers

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

fan headers. However, Pins 1-3 of the fan head-

ers are backward compatible with the traditional

3-pin fans. A fan speed control setting in the

BIOS Hardware Monitoring section allows the

BIOS to automatically set fan speeds based on

the system temperature. Refer to the table on

the right for pin denitions.

Note: Please use all 3-pin fans or all

4-pin fans on a motherboard. Please

do not use 3-pin fans and 4-pin fans

on the same board.

Chassis Intrusion

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 Headers

Two T-SGPIO (Serial-Link General

Purpose Input/Output) headers are

located near the SATA connectors

on the motherboard. These headers

are used to communicate with the

enclosure management 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

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.

2-8 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

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

Clear CMOS

JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS memory. 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

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

PCI Slot SMB Enable

Use Jumpers I2C1/I2C2 to enable PCI

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 PWR LED (LE2) is not on. (Note: If LE2 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

X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF 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 unbuffered ECC DDR3 (1.5V) 1333/1066 MHz memory

(recommended by the manufacturer). 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 different 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.

Losing 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.

3. If the above steps do not x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all

the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro

does not sell directly to end users, so it is best to rst check with your distributor or

reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)

with the specic system conguration that was sold to you.

1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked

Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website

(http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Sup-

port.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-

cro.com/support/bios/).

Note: Not all BIOS can be ashed. Some cannot be ashed; it depends

on the boot block code of the BIOS.

3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still

cannot resolve the problem, then contact Supermicro's technical support and

provide them with the following information:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number

• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your

system rst boots up)

•System conguration

•An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at (http://www.su-

permicro.com/support/contact.cfm).

4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number

ready when placing a call to our technical support department. We can be

reached by e-mail at support@supermicro.com, by phone at: (408) 503-

3-3

X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF Series User's Manual

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF supports up to 32GB of unbuffered ECC DDR3

SDRAM (1.5V, 1333/1066/1600 MHz). See Section 2-3 for details on installing

memory.

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. After downloading the BIOS le (.zip archive), please unzip

the le into a bootable 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., X9SCM) and build version as the

extension. For example, "X9SCM0.115". 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 <F9> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F10> 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.

To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard

to RMA at Supermicro for service.

Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS?

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF.

The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This

chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Note: For instructions on BIOS recovery, please refer to the instruction

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.

How To Change the Conguration Data

The conguration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

4-1

X9SCM-IIF/X9SCL-IIF Series User's Manual

How to Start the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.

As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of

the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup

screens. An AMI BIOS identication string is displayed at the left bottom corner of

the screen, below the copyright message.

Warning! Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related

issue. Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the

system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special,

incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS update. If you

have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the

BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.

4-2 Main Setup

When you rst enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen.

You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the

top of the screen. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

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.
