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: CPU Vcore, 12V, 5V, 5VSB, 3.3V, 3.3VSB, and Battery voltages. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the volt-

age 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 C7Z97-OCE 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.

Chapter 2: Installation

2-3

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.

Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

Load Lever

Installing the LGA1150 Processor

1. Press the load lever to release the load plate, which covers the CPU

socket, from its locking position.

Load Plate

2-4

Supermicro C7Z97-OCE Motherboard User’s Manual

2. Gently lift the load lever to open the load plate. Remove the plastic cap.

3. Use your thumb and your index nger to hold the CPU at the North

center edge and the South center edge of the CPU.

4. Align the CPU key that is the semi-circle cutouts against the socket keys. Once it is aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically.

Chapter 2: Installation

2-5

Attention! You can only install the CPU inside the socket only in one

direction. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.

into place

5. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damaging the CPU or the socket.)

6. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU

to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.

7. Use your thumb to gently push the load lever down to the lever lock.

SNK-P0046A4 active heatsink

Installing an Active CPU Heatsink with Fan

1. Locate the CPU Fan power connector on the motherboard. (Refer to the layout on the right for the CPU Fan location.)

2. Position the heatsink so that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan power connector and are not interfered with other components.

3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of the heatsink.

4. Remove the thin layer of the protective lm from the heatsink.

Attention! CPU overheating may

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 components 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 C7Z97-OCE 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

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.

A. JPL1: LAN1 Enable

B. JPL2: LAN2 Enable

LAN1/LAN2 Enable/Disable

Jumpers JPL1/JPL2 enable or disable LAN

ports 1/2 on the motherboard. See the

CMOS Clear (JBT1)

JBT1 is 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. Remove the jumper before powering on the system again. This will erase

all user settings and revert everything to their factory-set defaults.

OC-1 OC-2 OC-3

Boot BIOS Switch

The Boot BIOS Switch is used to select between two boot BIOS blocks that are installed on the motherboard. See Appendix D for details.

BIOS Recovery

Push the BIOS Recovery button to enable the motherboard to enter the BIOS Recovery process and re-install the BIOS, reverting all settings

back to factory default. It looks for a le named "SUPER.ROM" from a

memory device attached to any of the USB drives. It functions the same way as the BIOS Restore Button which is installed on the motherboard, see page 2-34.

Front USB Port

The Front USB Port is dened as USB 3.0 Port# XX on this motherboard.

It is conveniently located on the OC panel for quick access for USB memory sticks and other storage devices.

Over-Clocking Buttons (OC1, OC2, OC3)

Press these buttons to activate the over-clocking feature of the motherboard. These

buttons will allow the CPU to run above its rated speed. This is an advanced feature

and should only be used by experienced users. These work the same way as the

OC buttons on the motherboard, see Page 2-32 for details.

Clear CMOS and Reset

Use the push-button hardware switch to clear the CMOS memory back to its default values and reset the system. There is also a similar switch on the motherboard (JBT1), but is made up of two contact pads that need

to be shorted with a metallic object (i.e., screwdriver, etc).

Installing the OC Front Control Panel

The OC Front Control Panel is designed to t into an external 5.25-inch

external drive bay of a desktop-style or tower-style computer chassis. Make sure that the appropriate type of screws are used.

The OC Front Control panel

The OC Control panel easily slides into a standard 5.25-inch drive bay on a desktop or tower-style computer chassis.

Make sure to secure the OC Control Panel with the correct screws, but do not overtighten.

Connect all the OC Control Panel cables to the appropriate headers located on the motherboard.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Chapter 3

Troubleshooting

3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter. Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that the Standby PWR LED is not on. (Note: If it is on, the

onboard power is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or

removing the components.)

2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for

the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

4. Install a CPU and heatsink (-be sure that it is fully seated) and then connect

the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper

settings as well.

No Power

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check if the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to make sure that it still

supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3-2

Supermicro C7Z97-OCE 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 DDR3 (1.5V) 1600/1333/1066 MHz

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

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 specic system conguration 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 Sup-

port.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-

cro.com/support/bios/).

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The C7Z97-OCE supports up to 32GB of unbuffered Non-ECC

DDR3 SDRAM (1.5V, 1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz). 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-RO M -lename will bear the motherboard name (i.e., C7Z97)

and build version as the extension. For example, "C7Z97.115". 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!
