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.
1-5 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 Stby, +5V
Stby, VBAT, HT, Memory PCH Temperature, and System Temperature.
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 SIO.
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 thermal 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.
1-4
Chapter 1: Introduction
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
congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system
temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond
predened thresholds.
1-6 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI
specication 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 7, Windows 8, 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
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 or overclocked processors.
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.
Attention! To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and a
8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these connectors to
the 24-pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the
motherboard.
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 website
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.
1-8 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 management through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also
features auto power management to reduce power consumption.

Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To
avoid damaging 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.

Fan Headers
Your motherboard has three 4-pin fan
headers (FAN1-FAN3). Although pins 1-3
of the fan headers are backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans, we
recommend the use of 4-pin fans to take
advantage of the fan speed control. This
allows the fan speeds to be automatically
adjusted based on the motherboard temperature. Refer to the table on the right
for pin denitions.
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 intrusion when the chassis
is opened.
On the JD1 header, pins 3 and 4 are
used for a buzzer. If you wish to use an
external speaker, close pins 1-4 with a
cable. Refer to the table on the right for

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 specic
system conguration 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 Support.
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://
www.supermicro.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 conguration
• An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at (http://

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The C7B360-CB-M/MW supports up to 64GB of unbuffered Non-
ECC DDR4. See Section 2-4 for details on installing memory.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: We do NOT recommend that you 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. You may choose the zip le or the .exe le. If you choose
the zipped BIOS le, 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 insert a space between "ami.bat" and the lename.
The BIOS-ROM-lename will bear the motherboard name (i.e.,
C7B360) and build version as the extension. For example,
"C7B360.115". When completed, your system will automatically
reboot.
If you choose the .exe le, please run the .exe le under Windows to create the BIOS ash oppy disk. Insert the oppy disk
into the system you wish to ash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the oppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically ash
the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that this process
may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if
the screen is paused for a few minutes.
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.
Attention! Do not shut down or reset the system while updating
the BIOS to prevent possible system boot failure!
