Chapter 1: Introduction
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 Temperature, 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 cool-
ing 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 indepen-
dently 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.
1-5
Supermicro C9Z390-CG/CGW Motherboard User’s Manual
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.
1-6
Chapter 1: Introduction
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 connector. 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 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 one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial com-
munication port (UART). This UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO,
a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability
and a processor interrupt system. The UART provides legacy speed with
a 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 components. 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.

Chapter 2: Installation

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.

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 (the semi-circle cutouts) against the socket key. 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.
