This manual is written for system integrators, IT technicians and

knowledgeable end users. It provides information for the installation and use of the

A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard.

About This Motherboard

The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard supports a C2758 or C2358

Intel® Atom™ Processor C2000 Product Family for Communications (Formerly

Rangeley). The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard supports cutting-edge

technology such as Intel's Virtualization Technology, Turbo Boost Technology, and

Quickassist Technology. The lower power and energy-efcient motherboard offers

unprecedented enhancements to High Availability Network Solutions, Data Security,

and Cryptographic Hardware Acceleration. The motherboard features up to seven

GbE LAN ports with six software programmable LAN Bypass ports, IPMI2.0, up to

64GB ECC or Non-ECC memory, six SATA ports, mSATA, 12V DC input and one

PCIex4 slot. It is optimized for network security applications, WAN Optimization,

storage/server applications, and cloud computing. Please refer to our website at

(http://www.supermicro.com/products/) for memory support updates. This product

is intended to be installed and serviced by professional technicians.

Manual Organization

A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series Motherboard User’s Manual

1-2 Processor Overview

The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard supports a 2nd-generation 64-bit,

Intel® Atom™ C2000 22nm 3-D Tri-Gate SoC (System-on-a-Chip) communication

processor based on low-power Silvermont microarchitecture in an FCBGA 1283

package (C2758 or C2358 formerly Rangeley). Built upon the functionality and

capability of the C2000 Series processor in the low-power 22nm microarchitecture,

the A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard provides unprecedented enhance-

ments to network routing, internet security, system performance, and power ef-

ciency.

The C2000 SoC Series processor features an Out-of-Order Execution Engine and

offers new multi-core and system fabric architecture capable of utilizing eight or two

CPU cores to achieve improved single-thread performance. This new SoC processor

also provides an operating range with wider dynamic power and enhanced power

management. In addition, the A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard supports

Intel® Quickassist Technology, which provides hardware acceleration to help en-

hance cryptographic performance, secure internet trafc, and boost network routing,

freeing up processor resources for application processing. The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F-

2358 model also supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which offers turbo-boost

capabilities to maximize system performance.

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: VCCP,

VDIMM, 12V, 5VCC, 3.3VCC, VBAT, 5V Dual, and 3.3V AUX. Once a voltage

becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen.

Environmental Temperature Control

This motherboard came with a passive heatsink built in. Please follow the instruc-

tions given in your system design guide or your system user manual to provide

adequate airow to your system. The onboard BaseBoard Management Controller

(BMC) monitors CPU, memory and motherboard environment temperatures for fan

control and PC health management.

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® 5 in the

Windows and Linux operating systems. SuperDoctor 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.

1-12

A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series Motherboard User’s Manual

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 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008

operating Systems. A1SRM Series motherboard supports S0 and S5 only.

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.

Note 1: The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard alternatively sup-

ports a 4-pin 12V DC input power supply for embedded applications. The

12V DC input is recommended up to 14A by design, therefore it provides

up to 168W power input to the motherboard. Please keep onboard power

use within the power limits specied above. Over-current DC power use

may cause damage to the motherboard!

Note 2: Do not use the 4-pin DC power at JPW2 when the 24-pin ATX

power at JPW1 is connected to the power supply. Do not plug in both

JPW2 and JPW1 at the same time.

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.

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.

Waarschuwing

De uiteindelijke verwijdering van dit product dient te geschieden in overeenstemming

met alle nationale wetten en reglementen.
