Chapter 1: Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

Intel’s Mukilteo (E7230) chipset, designed for use with the Pentium 4 Processor

in the 90nm Process in the LGA 775 Land Grid Array Package, is comprised of

two primary components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Control-

ler Hub (ICH7R). In addition, Intel's PCI-X (PXH) is used for added functionality.

The PDSM4/PDSME provides the performance and feature-set required for the

high-end desktop and the UP workstation market. The PDSM4/PDSME provides

the performance and feature-set required for the high-end server and the UP

workstation market.

Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

The function of the MCH is to manage the data fl ow between four interfaces: the

CPU interface, the DDR2 System Memory Interface, the PCI Express Interface, and

the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The MCH is optimized for the Pentium 4 proces-

sor in the 90nm process in the LGA775 Land Grid Array Package. It supports one

or two channels of DDR2 SDRAM.

The I/O Controller (ICH7R) provides the data buffering and interface arbitration re-

quired for the system to operate effi ciently. It also provides the bandwidth needed

for the system to maintain its peak performance. The Direct Media Interface (DMI)

provides the connection between the MCH and the ICH7R. The ICH7R supports

PCI-E devices, four Serial ATA ports, six USB 2.0 ports and two IDE devices. In

addition, the ICH7R offers the Intel Matrix Storage Technology which provides vari-

ous RAID options for data protection and rapid data access. It also supports the

next generation of client management through the use of PROActive technology in

conjunction with Intel's next generation Gigabit Ethernet controller.

Intel ICH7R System Features

The I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the

system. Functions and capabilities include:

*Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface, Version 2.0 (ACPI)

*Intel IIO External Design Specifi cation (EDS)

*Mukilteo Memory Controller Hub (MCH) External Design Specifi cation (EDS)

*Intel I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7) Thermal Design Guideline

*Intel 82573 Platform LAN Connect (PLC) PCI Design

*Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface

PDSM4/PDSME User’s Manual

1-3 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSM4/PDSME.

The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC

health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage,
Memory Voltage , +3.3V, +5V, +12V, and −12V (via SuperO Doctor)

The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. 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.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware 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.

CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function

in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When this

temperature reaches the threshold, the CPU thermal trip feature will be activated

and it will send a signal to the Speaker LED and, at the same time, the CPU speed

will be decreased. It will also activate the alarm if a fan failure occurs.

1-4 Power Confi guration Settings

This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and

power settings.

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 the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal

keyboard during system boot-up.

Main Switch Override Mechanism

When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system

suspend button. When the user presses the power button, the system will enter

a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.

1-10

Chapter 1: Introduction

Pressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During

the SoftOff state, the ATX 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 press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off

and no power will be provided to the motherboard.

Wake Ring-On (WOR)

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing

when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only

be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.

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 asset

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. Note that Wake-On-LAN can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or

above) compliant power supply.

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifi -

cation defi nes a fl 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. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC

such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI

provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating

system-independent interface for confi guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug

and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-indepen-

dent implementation that is compatible with both Windows and Linux Operating

Systems.

PDSM4/PDSME User’s Manual

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 of 1 GHz and faster.

The

most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some

are inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly rec-

ommended.

The PDSM4/PDSME accommodates ATX power supplies. It is strongly recom-

mended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply

Specifi cation 2.02 or above. You should use one that will supply at least 350W of

power. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. It must also

be SSI compliant (info at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, 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. Please note that the

8-pin 12V power connection (JPW2) is also required to provide adequate power

to you system.

PDSM4/PDSME accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electric-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent

damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following

measures are generally suffi 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

upside down battery to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

2-1

PDSM4/PDSME User's Manual

2-2 Processor and Heatsink Fan Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing

direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

(*Notes: 1. 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.

2. Intel's boxed Pentium 4 CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink as-

sembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed

multi-directional heatsink and fan.

3. The Intel Pentium 4 LGA 775 heatsink and fan comes with a push-pin design

and no tool is needed for installation.

4. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU

heatsink and fan.)

5. When purchasing an LGA 775 CPU or when receiving a motherboard with an LGA

775 CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of

the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

6. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.

2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.

Make sure the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the

chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-

teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard

to the chassis. Make sure the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.

Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

(*Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take all

necessary precautionary measures to prevent damage done to these components

when installing the motherboard into the chassis.)

PDSM4/PDSME User's Manual

2-4 Installing DDR 2 Memory

Memory Module Installation (See Figure 2-2)

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules

to prevent any possible damage.

1. Insert each DDR 2 memory module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the

notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incor-

rectly. (See support information below.)

2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.

Support

The PDSM4/PDSME supports Dual channel, ECC unbuffered DDR 2

667/533/400 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are

supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. (Populating

DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or DIMM#2A, DIMM#2B with memory modules

of the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel, two-way

interleaved memory which is faster than the single channel, non-interleaved

memory. When ECC memory is used, it may take 25-40 seconds for the VGA

to display.)

(*Note: 1. Due to chipset limitation, 8GB Memory can only be supported by the

following operating systems:

32-Bit: Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

Edition;

64-Bit: Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition, Windows XP Professional

x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition.

2. You may install a maximum of 2GB DIMMs on each slot; however, only DDR 2

533 2GB density modules are available for this confi guration.

3. Some old-version of DDR 2-667 may not match Intel's On-Die-Tempeature re-

quirement and will automatically be down-graded to run @ 533 MHz, If this

occurs, contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value.)

To Install:

Insert module verti­cally and press down
until it snaps into
place. Pay attention
to the notch.

To Remove:

Use your thumbs to
gently push each
release tab outward
to release the DIMM
from the slot.

Explanation of
Jumpers

Chapter 2: Installation

To modify the operation of the

motherboard, 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 identifi ed with

a square solder pad on the printed

circuit board. See the motherboard

layout pages for jumper locations.

Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on and "Open"

means the jumper is off the pins.

GLAN Enable/Disable

JPL1/JPL2 enable or disable the

GLAN ports on the motherboard.

See the table on the right for jumper

settings. (*Note: For JPL1, the de-

fault setting is Open to enable. For

JPL2, the default setting is Pins 1-2

to enable.)

PDSM4/PDSME User's Manual

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead

of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact

pads to prevent the accidental clearing

of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal

object such as a small screwdriver to

touch both pads at the same time to

short the connection. Always remove

the AC power cord from the system

before clearing CMOS.

Note: For an ATX power supply, you

must completely shut down the system,

remove the AC power cord and then

short JBT1 to clear CMOS. Do not

use the PW_ON connector to clear

CMOS.

Watch Dog Enable

JWD controls Watch Dog, a system

monitor that takes action when a soft-

ware application hangs. Close Pins

1-2 to reset the system if a program

hangs. Close Pins 2-3 to generate a

non-maskable interrupt for the program

that hangs. (This function requires soft-

ware support.). Watch Dog must also

be enabled in BIOS.

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 +5v standby LED (LE1) is not on. (*Note: If LE1 is on, it

indicates that Standby PWR is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before

installing or removing the components.)

2. Make sure that the 8-pin 12v power connector at JPW2 is connected.

3. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chas-

sis.

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

keyboard and mouse.

5. Remove all add-on cards.

6. 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.

7. Make sure to use the correct type of CMOS battery as specifi ed by the Manu-

facturer. Do not install the CMOS battery upside down to avoid possible

explosion.

No Power

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

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 verify 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 fi 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 specs of the memory, reset the memory or try a different one.)

3-1

PDSM4/PDSME User's Manual

NOTE

If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics

card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in the

slots.

2. You should be using unbuffered, ECC DDR 2-677/533/400 memory (see the next

page). Also, it is recommended that you use the same memory speed for all

DIMMs in the system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and

noting the results.

4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

Losing the System’s Setup Confi guration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply

may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Section

1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies

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

3. If the above steps do not fi x the Setup Confi guration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

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 fi rst check with your distributor or

reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)

with the specifi c system confi guration that was sold to you.

1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked Ques-

tion' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our web site (

www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Support.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at

Chapter 4: BIOS

Chapter 4

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the PDSM4/PDSME.

The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a fl ash chip and can be easily upgraded using

a fl oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or

deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of the Supermicro web site <http://www.supermicro.com> for any

changes to the BIOS refl ected in this manual.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible boot failure.

System BIOS

The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and

PS/2® compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS fl ash chip stores the system

parameters, types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS

memory requires very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a

backup battery provides power to the BIOS fl ash chip, enabling it to retain system

parameters. Each time the computer is powered on the computer is confi gured

with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control

at boot-up.

How To Change the Confi guration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the

<Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As

the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the

BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens,

such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 4-3, detailed de-

scriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Appendix B

BIOS POST Codes

This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the PhoenixBIOS. POST

codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.

Recoverable POST Errors

When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, the BIOS will display an

POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the follow-

ing beep codes:

1 long and two short beeps - video confi guration error

1 repetitive long beep - no memory detected

Terminal POST Errors

If a terminal type of error occurs, BIOS will shut down the system. Before doing

so, BIOS will write the error to port 80h, attempt to initialize video and write the

error in the top left corner of the screen. The following is a list of codes that may

be written to port 80h.

* If the BIOS detects errors on 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an

additional word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that have failed. For

example, “2C 0002” means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020" means

data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. The BIOS also

sends the bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It fi rst displays the checkpoint code,

followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the loworder byte of

the error. It repeats this sequence continuously.

Appendix C

Software Installation

After all the hardware has been installed, you must fi rst confi gure Intel's ICH7R

SATA RAID* before you install the Windows Operating System and other software

drivers.

Important Notes to the User:

*Note 1: If you do not wish to confi gure onboard SATA RAID functions, please go

directly to Section C-4 for Operating System & Other Software Installation.

*Note 2: This chapter describes RAID Confi guration Instructions for the Intel ICH

RAID Controller designed for the Windows OS. If you have the PDSME Model and

choose to use the Linux OS, please enable Adaptec's RAID Controller in the BIOS

and refer to the fi le: "E7230 Note.txt" in the folder: "Intel E7230" saved in the CD

that came with your motherboard for Adaptec RAID Confi guration Instructions.

C-1 Introduction to Serial ATA and Parallel ATA

To confi gure the SATA RAID functions, you must fi rst use the Intel ICH7R SATA

RAID Utility program to confi gure the RAID Level that you desire before installing

the Windows XP/2000/2003 operating system and other software drivers. (The

necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro CD that came packaged with

your motherboard.) Note that the current version of the ICH7R SATA RAID Utility

can only support Windows XP/2000/2003 Operating Systems.

Serial ATA (SATA)

Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface that uses a single cable with a

minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. It is

a serial link, which supports transfer rates up to 3Gbps. Because the serial cables

used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA (PATA),

SATA systems have better airfl ow and can be installed in smaller chassis than

Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA are limited to a length of 40cm,

while Serial ATA cables can be up to one meter in length. Overall, SATA provides

better functionality than PATA.

Introduction to the Intel ICH7R Serial RAID

Located in the South Bridge of the E7230 Mukilteo chipset, the I/O Controller Hub

(ICH7R) provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system. It sup-

ports a 2-channel UltraATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and four Serial

ATA (SATA) ports. The ICH7R supports the following PATA and SATA device con-

fi gurations: Legacy mode and Native mode.

C-1

PDSM4/PDSME User's Manual

RAID Confi gurations

The following types of RAID confi gurations are supported:

RAID 0 (Data Striping): this writes data in parallel, interleaved ("striped") sections

of two hard drives. Data transfer rate is doubled over using a single disk.

RAID1 (Data Mirroring): an identical data image from one drive is copied to another

drive. The second drive must be the same size or larger than the fi rst drive.

RAID 10 (Striping & Mirroring): RAID 0 and 1 schemes are combined (without parity

information) to get the benefi ts of both.

RAID 5: both data and parity information are striped and mirrored across three or

more hard drives.

Intel Matrix Storage

The Intel Matrix Storage, supported by the ICH7R, allows the user to create

RAID 0 and RAID1 set by using only two identical hard disk drives. The Intel

Matrix Storage Technology creates two partitions on each hard disk drive and

generate a virtual RAID0 and RAID1sets. It also allows you the change the HDD

partition size without any data.

The Supero Doctor III program is a web-base management tool that supports

remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.

The local management is called the SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program

included on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor

the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial

system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See

the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

*Note 1: The default password and user name are ADMIN.

*Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-

cedence over the BIOS settings. When fi rst installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the

temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent changes

to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings

override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature

threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set
