X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD/X9DRD-7LN4F 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 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the features of PC health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan voltages and power
usage continuously. 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
defi ne the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The PC health monitoring chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The
onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by fi rmware Thermal Management
via IPMI 2.0.

Environmental Temperature Control

A thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn
on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defi ned
threshold. The thermal management runs independently from the CPU. Once it
detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the ther­mal fan control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal
circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when the
chassis temperature is too high.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airfl ow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor III in the Windows OS
environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify
the user o f cer tain syste m events. For examp le, you can c onfi gure SuperDoctor

1-12

Chapter 1: Overview

to provide yo u with warn ings when th e system temper ature, CPU tempe ratures,
voltag es, and fa n speed s go beyond a p redefi ned range.

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifi ca-
tion defi nes a fl exible 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.

In addition to operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides
a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system­independent interface for confi 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 Vista and Windows 2008
Operating Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking
to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the
CPU will "wake up," and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

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.

The X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD/-7LN4F motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power
supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required
by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin, and the 4-pin power
connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Your
power supply must also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.

Warning: To avoid damaging your motherboard and components, please use a
power supply that supports a 24-pin, two 8-pin and one 4-pin power connectors. Be
sure to connect the 24-pin and the 8-pin power connectors to your power supply
for adequate power delivery to your system. The 4-pin power connector is optional;
however, Supermicro recommends that this connector also be plugged in for optimal
power delivery.

1-13

X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD/X9DRD-7LN4F Motherboard User’s Manual

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specifi cation 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in
areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi 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.

1-7 Super I/O

The Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable
baud rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps
as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which
support higher speed modems.

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Confi guration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage­ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.

1-8 Advanced Power Management

The new advanced power management features supported by this motherboard
include IPNM and ME. Please note that you will need to do following to use these
two new features:

• Use a power supply that supports PMBus 1.1 or 1.2.

• Install the NMView software in your system. NMView is optional and can be

purchased from Supermicro.

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy effi ciency.
Although IPNM is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller),
your system must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) fi rmware
installed in your system for IPNM support.

Note: Support for IPNM Specifi cation Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.

1-14

Chapter 1: Overview

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, pro­vides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by
SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.
