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.

2-2

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.

Towards the CPU

The C9Z390-CG/CGW suppor ts up to 64GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM)

non-ECC DDR4 memory with speeds of up to 3733+MHz (OC) in four 288-pin 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: Be sure to use memory modules of the same type and speed on the motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types is not allowed.

2-9

Supermicro C9Z390-CG/CGW Motherboard User’s Manual

Memory Population Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA2, DIMMB2, then DIMMA1, DIMMB1.

• Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type, and speed.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMM.

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.

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

3-1

Supermicro C9Z390-CG/CGW Motherboard User’s Manual

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.

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will

need to remove 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 different 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 (up to 3733+MHz if overclocked) 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 supply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 1-7 for details on recommended power supplies.
