H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF Serverboard User’s Manual
1-3 Chipset Overview
The H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF serverboard is based on the AMD SR5670 or SR5690 and SP5100 chipset. This chipset functions as a Media and Communications Processor (MCP). Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into AMD Opteron processors.
AMD SR5670 or SR5690 and SP5100 Chipset
The AMD SR5670 or SR5690 and SP5100 chispsets are each a single-chip, high­performance HyperTransport peripheral controller. They include a 30 or 42-lane PCI Express interface, an AMD Opteron 16-bit Hyper Transport interface link, a six-port Serial ATA interface and a four-port USB 2.0 interface. This hub connects directly to the CPU.
HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency point to point link that was designed to increase the communication speed by a factor of up to 48x between integrated circuits. This is done partly by reducing the number of buses in the chipset to reduce bottlenecks and by enabling a more effi cient use of memory in multi-processor systems. The end result is a signifi cant increase in bandwidth within the chipset.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF serverboard. The serverboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to defi ne the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in BIOS.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software Speed Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard fans are controlled by thermal management via BIOS.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-11
CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat/Fan Fail warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When this temperature is exceeded or when a fan failure occurs, the Overheat/Fan Fail warning LED is triggered.
Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core
The 5-phase-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to AMD Opteron 4000 series processors and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 0.8 V to 1.55V. This will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.
1-5 Power Confi guration Settings
This section describes the features of your motherboard that deal with power and power settings.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other requests.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking 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.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If a USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
Note: To wake up the system from an S4 state by the USB keyboard/mouse, please connect the keyboard/mouse to USB port 0/1 at the rear I/O side.
1-12
H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF Serverboard User’s Manual
Main Switch Override Mechanism
The power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user depresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defi ned as the ability of a management application to remotely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and access tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffi c is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in BIOS.
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.
The H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF serverboard requires the use of proprietary power supplies. Please refer to the pinout information for the power connectors in Section 7 of Chapter 2 for detailed information on power requirements.
In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi 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.
Warning: To prevent the possibility of explosion, do not use the wrong type of onboard CMOS battery or install it upside down.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-13
1-7 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O Winbond® BMC chip includes a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with fl oppy disk drives.
The Super I/O provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. 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 Confi guration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be fl exibly adjusted to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).
