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: +1.8V, +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 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 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.

1-6 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 C7Z370-CG-IW 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 or overclocked processors.

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.

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, re-

moving 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.

• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

Installing the Processor

1. Press the load lever to release the load plate, which covers the CPU socket, from its locked position.
