1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 press the power switch

to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the

Advanced BIOS Setup section for this setting. The default setting is Last State.

1-4 System Health Monitoring

This section describes the features of system health monitoring of the motherboard.

This motherboard has an onboard BaseBoard Management Controller (BMC) chip

that supports system health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the

following onboard voltages continuously: +1.2V, +3.3V, 3.3V Standby, +5V, +5V

Standby, +12V, CPU core, memory, chipset, BMC, and battery voltages. Once a

voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the

screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the

voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The system health monitoring support provided by the BMC controller can check

the RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled

by the thermal management via the onboard BMC.

Environmental Temperature Control

System-Health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard

processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the tem-

perature of the CPU or the system exceeds a user-dened threshold, system/CPU

cooling fans will be turned on to prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide

adequate airow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5. SuperDoctor 5 is used

to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can congure

SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU

temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Chapter 1: Overview

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-

tion denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way

to integrate power management features throughout a computer system, including

its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system

to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as network cards, hard disk drives

and printers.

In addition to enabling operating_system-directed power management, ACPI also

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

system-independent interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and

Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent

implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8/R2, and Windows

2012/R2 operating systems.

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. In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose

to install a line 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.

1-14

X10DRFR/X10DRFR-N/X10DRFR-NT Motherboard User’s Manual

1-7 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by the

motherboard.

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the Supermicro Power Manager [SPM] is installed)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with

real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.

Although IPNM Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (BaseBoard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-

ment Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.

Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends

on the power supply used in the system.

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O

Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services

provided by SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

Two NVM Express ports are located on the motherboard. JNVME ports 1/2 pro-

vide high-speed, low-latency PCI-Exp. 3.0 x4 connections directly from the CPU

to NVMe Solid State (SSD) drives. This greatly increases SSD data-throughput

performance and signicantly reduces PCI-E latency by simplifying driver/

software requirements resulted from direct PCI-E interface from the CPU to the

NVMe SSD drives.

2-8 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts be-

tween two pins to change the function of the

connector. Pin 1 is identi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.

CMOS Clear

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: Be sure to completely power-off the system, remove power cords,

and the onboard CMOS battery before you short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

A. Clear CMOS

B. Watch Dog Enable

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that can

reboot the system when a software application

hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset the system if an

application hangs. Close pins 2-3 to generate

non-maskable interrupt signals for the application

that hangs. See the table on the right for jumper

settings. Watch Dog must also be enabled in the

BIOS.

Serial ATA Ports

Six Serial ATA Ports (I-SATA0-I-SATA5), supported by Intel PCH,

are located on the motherboard. I-SATA0-3 support SATA 2.0,

and I-SATA4/5 support SATA3 ports. In addition, four S-SATA

connectors (S-SATA0-3), supported by the Intel SCU, are also

located on the motherboard. S-SATA2/3, colored in yellow, are

used with Supermicro SuperDOM (Disk-on-Module) connectors

with power-pins built in. Supermicro SuperDOM connectors are

backward-compatible with regular SATA HDDs and SATA DOMs.

All SATA ports provide serial-link signal connections, which are

faster than the connections of Parallel ATA. See the table on the

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.

Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing or installing any

hardware components.

Before Power On

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

chassis.

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

the keyboard and mouse.

3. Remove all add-on cards.

4. Install CPU 1 rst (making sure that it is fully seated) and connect the front

panel connectors to the motherboard.

No Power

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

2. Make sure that all power connectors are properly connected.

3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set, if avail-

able.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system, if applicable.

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup-

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

3-2

X10DRFR/X10DRFR-N/X10DRFR-NT Motherboard User’s Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you do not have video, remove all the add-on cards

and cables.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A

for details on beep codes.

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display POST or does not respond after the power is turned

on, check the following:

1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.

•If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules in-

stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only

one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. If there is still no error beep, replace

the motherboard.

•If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power

cord and contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to

Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.)

2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM mod-

ules. Make sure that the system power is on, and memory error beeps are

activated.

3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system

boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors

Troubleshooting procedure in this Chapter.

Losing the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality

power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information.

Refer to Section 2-7 for details on recommended power supplies.

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

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

3. If the steps indicated above do not x the Setup Conguration problem, con-

tact your vendor for repairs.

3-3

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Memory Errors

When a No_Memory_Beep_Code is issued by the system, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that

the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,

refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our website @ http://www.

supermicro.com.)

2. Check if DIMM modules with different speeds have been installed. It is

strongly recommended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in

the system.

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load

Reduced (LRDIMM)ECC DDR4 memory modules as recommended by the

manufacturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among

all memory slots and check the results.

5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the

instructions given in Section 2-5 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in

Section 2-5 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. When the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check

the following:

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and you have the

latest BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-

ing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Refer to the product page on our website http:\\www.supermicro.

com for memory and CPU support and updates.

3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Re-

place the bad HDDs with good ones.

4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans,

CPU fans and system fans work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set-

3-4

X10DRFR/X10DRFR-N/X10DRFR-NT Motherboard User’s Manual

tings in the IPMI to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are

within the normal range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED, and make

sure that the Overheat LED is not on.

5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate

power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected.

Please refer to our website for more information on minimum power require-

ment.

6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

B. When the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check

the following:

1. Installation Devices: Make sure that the devices used for installation are work-

ing properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD disc.

2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and

working properly.

3. Using minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary

components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum conguration

(with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas.

Refer to the steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting proce-

dures.

4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a compo-

nent in question from the chassis, and test it in isolation to make sure that it

works properly. Replace a bad component with a good one.

5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several

items at the same time. This will help isolate and identify the problem.

6. To nd out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to

see if the system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad.

You can also install the component in question in another system. If the new

system works, the component is good and the old system has problems.
