Advanced Motherboard Setup
This ch apter cover s the ste ps requi red to inst all pro ces sors a nd heats inks to the
X10SLL-F mother board, connect the data and power cables and install add-on
cards . All m other boa rd jump ers an d con nec tion s are des cri bed an d a layout and
quick re ference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis
completely when you have fi nished wor king on the motherboard to protect and
cool the system suffi ciently.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter 4).
Also note that the size and weight of the motherboard can cause it to bend if handled
improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the motherboard from bending,
keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
• Handle a 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, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
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.

5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
motherboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control
panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed in preconfi gured systems to p r eve nt t h e m from blockin g t h e fl ow of cooling
air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any
of these c a bles, you shou ld take care to rer oute them as they were o riginally after
reconnecti n g them (make sure the red wires connec t t o the pin 1 location s). If you
are confi guring the syst em, keep th e air fl ow in mind when routing the cables.
The following data cables (with their motherboard connector locations noted)
should be connected.
See the motherboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
• Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
• SATA cable (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA3)
Connecting Power Cables
The X10SLL-F has a 24 -pi n prima ry po wer supply c onnec tor des ignated "JPW1"
for con nec ti on to th e ATX power supp ly. Conne ct th e app ropr iate c on nec tor f rom
the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the motherboard. See the Connector
Defi nitions s ecti on in thi s chapter f or power c onne ctor pi n defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 4-pin Processor Power
connector at JPW2.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.

• Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same frequency
on the same motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and
speeds is not allowed.
• Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that remains
available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The
reduction in memory availability is disproportional. See the following table for
details.
• For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in the
Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specifi c to the behavior of Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode which improves
driver compatibility. For more information, please read the following article at

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
• Handle a 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, add-on cards 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.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging. When unpacking the board,
make sure the person handling it is static protected.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SLM-F/X10SLL-F/
X10SLL-SF/X10SLL-S . The ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be
easily updated. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup
Utility setup screens.
Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery
Instructions in Appendix C.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>, <F2>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be confi gured. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be
confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow
keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Confi guration Data
The confi guration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
