remain powered o󰀨 (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for
it to automatically return to the power-on state. Refer to the Advanced section for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
18
Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and battery continuously. 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.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5 in the Windows OS or in the Linux environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,
you can congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Super C9Z490-PG/-PGW User's Manual

1.5 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 computer system, including its hardware, operating
system and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and o󰀨
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 appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information regarding OS support, please refer to the Supermicro website.

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 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 where noisy power transmission is present.
The C9Z490-PG/-PGW motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are
inadequate. In addition, one 12V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also, your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector. Be sure to con­nect the power supplies to the 24-pin power connector (JPW1), and the 8-pin power connector (JPW2) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so may void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power
supply Specication 2.02 or later. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more information, please
refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/).

2.4 Memory Support and Installation

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.
Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to pre-
vent any possible damage.

General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following
order: DIMMA2, DIMMB2, then DIMMA1, DIMMB1.
Only populate DIMMA1 and DIMMB1 if the extra memory support is needed.
Always use DDR4 memory of the same type, size and speed.
Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed).
However, to achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is recommended.
