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.

1-4

Chapter 1: Introduction

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.

1-5

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 damage. When unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

Supermicro C7X99-OCE/C7X99-OCE-F Motherboard User’s Manual

Memory Support

The C7X99-OCE(-F) supports up to 64GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR4 non-ECC 2133~3300(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.

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.

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.

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

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 intrusion when the chassis is opened.

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard, 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.

Chapter 2: Installation

LAN1/LAN2 Enable/Disable

Jumpers JPL1/JPL2 enable or disable LAN ports 1/2 on the motherboard. See the

table on the right for jumper settings. The default setting is enabled.

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.

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.

tCCD_L

Set this option to set the Column to Column Long Delay. When staying within the same bank group starting at 1,600 Mbps, the tCCD_L

specication requires more than four clocks. It requires ve clocks

for 1,600 and 1,866 Mbps, and at 2,133 Mbps, it requires six clocks.

tCCD_WR_L

Use this option to congure back to back CAS to CAS (i.e. READ to

REaD or WRITE to WRITE) from same rank separation parameter.

tRWSR

This option sets the read to write delay timing where the write follows a read on the same rank. This option may be left to 3 clocks for

most congurations. 1~2 clocks may be possible at lower memory

frequencies depending upon module density (sub DDR3-1866). If experiencing instability after adjusting all other timings, then try a setting of 5~7 clocks.

tRWDD

This option sets the delay period between a write command that is followed by a read command; where the read command requires the access of data from a different DIMM. A value of 1 is possible on high performance memory. For higher density modules this value may need relaxing to 5~6 clocks as memory frequency is increased.

tRWDR

This is the delay period between a read command that is followed by a write command, where the write command requires the access of data from a different rank. A setting of 4 clocks is the setting for most

DIMM congurations through DDR3-2133. Set to 5~7 clocks only if

you are experiencing instability issues when running in excess of 8GB of memory over DDR3-2300.

tWWDD

This option congures the write to write delay where the subsequent

write requires the access of a different DIMM. 4 clocks will work with

most congurations.

tWWDR

This option congures the write to write delay where the subsequent

write command requires the access of a different rank on the same DIMM.
