System Recovery Instructions
This computer includes a hidden partition which contains a backup of your factory
Windows installation. In case of a system failure, you can use this backup to restore
your computer to a working state in just a few minutes.
Since this backup resides on the same physical hard-disk as your current Windows
installation, a hardware failure of the hard-disk will prevent you from reinstalling
Windows. There are two different ways to initiate a system recovery of your system:
• Trigger recovery from OS level (run FullRestore.exe)
• Trigger recovery during system boot up (press F10 key).
Warning: System Recovery will wipe all of your personal data and restore the system
to OOBE. You must have your CD-KEY from COA label ready before performing this
action. System Recovery is an automated, one-step process. Do not initiate a system
recovery unless you are prepared for a complete re-installation back to the factory
default installation.

2-4 Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
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 a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

Jumper
3 2 1
Setting
Clear CMOS (JBT1)
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent 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.

GLAN Enable/Disable
Change the setting of jumper JPL1 or
JPL2 to enable or disable the LAN1
and LAN2 Ethernet ports, respectively.
See the table on the right for jumper
settings. The default setting is enabled.
Watch Dog Enable/Disable
JWD controls the Watch Dog function.
Watch Dog is a system monitor that
can reboot the system when a software
application hangs. Jumping pins 1-2
will cause WD to reset the system if
an application hangs. Jumping pins 2-3
will generate a non-maskable interrupt
signal for the application that hangs.
See the table on the right for jumper
settings. Watch Dog must also be
enabled in BIOS.

A-1 Operating System
The PIO-537A-i-MA015 supports the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating
System. This OS has been pre-installed to the system.
System Recovery Instructions
This computer includes a hidden partition which contains a backup of your factory
Windows installation. In case of a system failure, you can use this backup to restore
your computer to a working state in just a few minutes.
Since this backup resides on the same physical hard-disk as your current Windows
installation, a hardware failure of the hard-disk will prevent you from reinstalling
Windows. There are two different ways to initiate a system recovery of your system:
• Trigger recovery from OS level (run FullRestore.exe)
• Trigger recovery during system boot up (press F10 key).
Warning: System Recovery will wipe all of your personal data and restore the system
to OOBE. You must have your CD-KEY from COA label ready before performing this
action. System Recovery is an automated, one-step process. Do not initiate a system
recovery unless you are prepared for a complete re-installation back to the factory
default installation.

A-4 BIOS
The AMI 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 instructions on BIOS recovery , please refer to the instruction guide posted
at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.
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.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays
all the options. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be

Page 43
Appendix A: Software
confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a description of the highlighted option. When an
option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message
will accompany it. (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>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
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
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
How to Start the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of
the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens. An AMI BIOS identifi cation string is displayed at the left bottom corner of
the screen, below the copyright message.
Important: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event
shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damages arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut
down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible
boot failure.

BIOS Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time
the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue
with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to bootup. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The
numbers on the list correspond to the number of beeps for the corresponding
error.
