1-4 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.
1-5 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: +1.05V, +5V, +/-12V, VBAT, Memory, CPU Core. 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 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-dened 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 airow to your system.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-5
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
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.
1-6 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI
specication 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.
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
Supermicro C7X99-OCE/C7X99-OCE-F Motherboard User’s Manual
1-7 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.
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 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.
1-8 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.

2-2 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 dam-
age. When unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it
is static protected.

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Attention! When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Important:
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.

2-4 Installing DDR4 Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.
Attention! 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 DIMMA1 (see the
next page for the location). For the system to work properly, please use the memory modules of the same type and speed in the same motherboard.
Release Tabs
Notches
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
Press both notches
straight down into
the memory slot.
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.
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.
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.

Memory Population Guidelines
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1 then DIMMA2, DIMMB2, DIMMC2, DIMMD2.
Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.
Recommended Population (Balanced)

The C7X99-OCE(-F) supports up to 64GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR4 non-ECC 2133~3000(OC) MHz in 8 memory slots. 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.
Note: For memory optimization, use only DIMM modules that have been validated by Supermicro. For the latest memory updates, please refer to our website at http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard.

Notes
Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same frequency on the same motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.
Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that remains available for operational use will be re-
duced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory
availability is disproportional. See the following table for details.
For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in the Windows 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 Knowledge Base website at: http://support.microsoft.

Location of Mounting Holes
Attention! 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its com­ponents, please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard installation. 2) Some compo-
nents are very close to the mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.
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 fasteners, 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 (Fan 1 ~ Fan 5)
The C7X99-OCE/-F has ve fan headers (Fan 1~Fan 5). These fans are 4-pin fan headers. Although pins 1-3 of the fan
headers are backward compatible with
the traditional 3-pin fans, we recommend
the use 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

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.

Clear CMOS (JBT1, CLR_CMOS_SW)
JBT1 and CLR_CMOS_SW are used to clear the saved system setup con­guration stored in the CMOS chip. To clear the contents of the CMOS,
completely shut down the system, remove the AC power cord and then
short JBT1 with a jumper or use the push button switch on CLR_CMOS_ SW. Remove the jumper before powering on the system again. This will
erase all user settings and revert everything to their factory-set defaults.

3-2
Supermicro C7X99-OCE/C7X99-OCE-F Motherboard 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 specications of memory modules, reset the memory or try a differ-
ent 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 Non-ECC DDR4 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.
When the System is Losing the Setup Configuration
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.

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The C7X99-OCE supports up to 64GB of unbuffered Non-ECC/
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 bet ween "ami.bat" and the lename. The BI­OS-ROM-lename wil l be a r th e mo t he r b oard name (i.e., C7 X99)
and build version as the extension. For example, "C7X99.115". 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.
