X10DRH-C/CT/i/iT Motherboard User’s Manual
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) that
supports system health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the follow-
ing onboard voltages continuously: 1.2V, +3.3V, 3.3V standby, +5V, +5V standby,
+12V, CPU core, memory, chipset, BMC, PCH, 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
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
IPMI Thermal Management.
Environmental Temperature Control
System health sensors in the BMC monitors temperatures and voltage settings of
onboard processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever
the temperature of the CPU or the system exceeds a user-dened threshold, system/
CPU cooling fans will be turned on to prevent the CPU or system from overheating.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airow 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 congure
SuperDoctor 5 to warn you when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages, or fan speeds go beyond a predened range.
Chapter 1: Overview
1-13
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI speci-
cation denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a 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 power management directed by the operating system, the ACPI also
provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug-and-Play and an interface
(independent of the operating system) for conguration control. ACPI leverages
the Plug-and-Play BIOS data structures, while providing an implementation that is
independent of the processor architecture and compatible with 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. This is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates.
The X10DRH-C/CT/i/iT motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the
CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections are also
required to ensure adequate power supply to the system.
Warning! To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use
a power supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to
connect the power supply to the 24-pin power connector (J24) and two 8-pin power
connectors (JPWR1, JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure to do so may void the
manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high-quality power supply that meets
the ATX power supply specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI-compliant.
(For more information, please refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/.) Ad-
ditionally, 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.

X10DRH-C/CT/i/iT Motherboard User’s Manual
1-7 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by this
motherboard:
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the Supermicro Power Manager [SPM] is installed)
The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager 3.0 (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.
Although IPNM Specication Version 2.0/3.0 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 Specication Version 2.0 or Version 3.0 is depen-
dent on the power supply used in the system.
Management Engine (ME)

Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, 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 identied
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
the pins, and "open" means the
jumper is off them.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact
pads to prevent accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear the CMOS, use a metal
object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short
the connection.
Note: Be sure to completely shut down the system, and then short JBT1
to clear the CMOS.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable
The Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor
that will 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 a non-maskable inter-
rupt signal for the application that hangs.
See the table on the right for jumper set-
tings. The Watch Dog must also be enabled
in the BIOS.

SATA 3.0 and S-SATA 3.0 Connections
Ten SATA 3.0 connections are located on the motherboard. Six SATA 3.0 ports
(I-SATA 0-5) are supported by the Intel PCH C612. A vertical S-SATA connector,
supported by the Intel SCU chip, offers four S-SATA 3.0 connections. These SATA
ports provide serial-link signal connections, which are faster than the connections
of Parallel ATA. See the table on the right for pin denitions.
Note 1: Supermicro SuperDOMs are yellow SATADOM connectors with
power pins built in and do not require separate external power cables.
These connectors are backward-compatible with non-Supermicro SATA-
DOMs that require an external power supply.

No Video
1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all add-on cards and
cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes are present. Refer to Ap-
pendix 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 contacting 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 system power is on and that 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 Conguration
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 above steps do not x the setup conguration problem, contact 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 DIMMs are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility, refer to
the memory compatibility chart posted on our website @ http://www.supermi-
cro.com.)
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-
mended that you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the
system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Load Reduction (LRDIMM)/
Registered (RDIMM) ECC DDR4 DIMM modules recommended by the manu-
facturer.
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. If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the
following:
1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported and that 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 the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans
and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring
3-4
X10DRH-C/CT/i/iT Motherboard User’s Manual
settings in the BIOS 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 it 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 the minimum power
requirements.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.
B. If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check
the following:
1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are
working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD and CD/DVD-ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and
working properly.
3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum congura-
tion (but 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
procedures.
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.
