Preface

About This Manual

This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use
of the SUPER S2DL3/370DL6/370DL3/370DLE motherboard. The SUPER
S2DL3 supports single or dual Pentium® III Xeon 400-800 MHz processors
with a 133/100 MHz front side bus. The SUPER 370DL6/370DL3/370DLE
supports single or dual Pentium® III 500-933 MHz FCPGA processors with a
133/100 MHz front side bus. Please refer to the support section of our web
site (http://www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm) for a complete listing of
supported processors.

Pentium III FCPGA (Flip Chip Pin Grid Array) processors are housed in a 370­pin socket, which is the new standard that will support future Intel processors.
Xeon processors are based on the "Slot 2" architecture.

Manual Organization

Chapter 1 includes a checklist of what should be included in your mainboard

box, describes the features, specifications and performance of the SUPER
S2DL3/370DL6/370DL3/370DLE mainboard and provides detailed information
about the chipset.

Chapter 2 begins with instructions on handling static-sensitive devices. Read
this chapter when you want to install the processor and DIMM memory mod­ules and when mounting the mainboard in the chassis. Also refer to this
chapter to connect the floppy and hard disk drives, SCSI drives, the IDE
interfaces, the parallel and serial ports and the twisted wires for the power
supply, the reset button, the keylock/power LED, the speaker and the key­board.

If you encounter any problems, see Chapter 3, which describes troubleshoot-
ing procedures for the video, the memory and the setup configuration stored
in CMOS. For quick reference, a general FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions]
section is provided. Instructions are also included for contacting technical
support. In addition, you can visit our web site at www.supermicro.com/
techsupport.htm for more detailed information.

Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

The ServerWorks ServerSetTM III LE is a high-performance core logic chipset
that consists of a North Bridge and a South Bridge.

The North Bridge includes an integrated main memory subsystem and a dual
channel PCI bus that bridges the processor bus to a 64-bit PCI bus and a
32-bit PCI bus. The North Bridge also packs and unpacks data for PCI
accesses, which reserves more processor bandwidth for multiprocessor
motherboards.

The South Bridge provides various integrated functions, including the PCI to
ISA bridge and support for UDMA33, security (passwords and system pro­tection), Plug & Play, USBs, power management, interrupt controllers and
the SMBus.

The North and South Bridges communicate over a serial bus that uses the
PCI clock as a timing reference. This serial bus uses a single pin on both
bridges to send a 4-bit word for transmitting commands back and forth.

1-3 Special Features

ATI Graphics Controller (370DL6 only)

The 370DL6 has an integrated ATI video controller based on the Rage XL graphics
chip. The Rage XL is the first accelerator in the world to provide integrated
support for digital flat panel monitors and fully supports the AGP 2X mode,
sideband addressing and AGP texturing. Working with system memory, this
onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 1 GB/sec over a 64­bit interface.

BIOS Recovery

The BIOS Recovery function allows you to recover your BIOS image file if
the BIOS flashing procedure fails (see Section 3-3).

Recovery from AC Power Loss

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 hit the

Introduction

power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power
on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in BIOS on page 4-11 of this
manual to change this setting. The default setting is Always OFF.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
S2DL3/370DL6/370DL3/370DLE. Both have an onboard System Hardware
Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.

Seven Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset
Voltage, +5V and +12V

The onboard voltage monitor will scan these seven 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 define the sensitivity of
the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The
onboard 3-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the power management
functions. The thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection logic.

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 user­defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. It
can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when the CPU is in sleep
mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically
turn on the thermal control fan to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The
onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature
and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high.

CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode

The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It can be turned off when
the CPU is in sleep mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not run at full
power, thereby generating less heat.

Introduction

CPU Overheat LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function
in the BIOS (see page 4-17). This allows the user to define an overheat tempera­ture. When this temperature is exceeded, both the overheat fan and the warning
LED are triggered.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Intel's LANDesk Client Manager (op­tional). It is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, if
the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insufficient hard drive
space for saving the data, you can be alerted of the potential problem.

Hardware BIOS Virus Protection

The system BIOS is protected by hardware so that no virus can infect the BIOS
area. The user can only change the BIOS content through the flash utility
provided by SUPERMICRO. This feature can prevent viruses from infecting the
BIOS area and destroying valuable data.

Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core

The auto-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 20A
current and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 1.4V to 3.5V. This will allow the
regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.

1-5 ACPI/PC 98 Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI speci­fication defines a flexible 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 configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug
and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-indepen­dent implementation that is compatible with both Windows 98 and Windows NT
