1-11

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.

1-9 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller

Chapter 2: Installation

2-5 Motherboard Installation

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas­teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard
to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Tools Needed

• Phillips Screwdriver

• Pan head screws (9 pieces)

• Standoffs (9 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are nine (9) amounting holes on this motherboard. See the layout on the right.

Unit Identifi er Switch/UID LED Indicators

A Unit Identifi er (UID) Switch and two LED Indi-
cators are located on the motherboard. The UID
Switch is located next to the VGA port on the
backplane. The Rear UID LED (LED3) is located
next to the UID Switch. The Front Panel UID
LED is located at Pins 7/8 of the Front Control
Panel at JF1. Connect a cable to Pin 8 on JF1
for Front Panel UID LED indication. When you
press the UID switch, both Rear UID LED and
Front Panel UID LED Indicators will be turned
on. Press the UID switch again to turn off both
LED Indicators. These UID Indicators provide
easy identifi cation of a system unit that may be
in need of service.

Note: UID can also be triggered via
IPMI on the motherboard. For more
information on IPMI, please refer to the
IPMI User's Guide posted on our web­site @http://www.supermicro.com.

2-7 Connecting Cables

Power Connectors

A 24-pin main power supply connector(JPW1),
two 8-pin CPU power connectors (JPW2/3) and
a 4-pin power connector (JPW4) are located on
the motherboard. These power connectors meet
the SSI EPS 12V specifi cation and must be con-
nected to your power supply to provide adequate
power to the system. See the table on the right
for pin defi nitions.

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.

Fan Headers

This motherboard has eight system/CPU
fan headers (Fan 1~Fan 8) on the moth­erboard. All these 4-pin fans headers are
backward compatible with the traditional
3-pin fans. However, fan speed control
is available for 4-pin fans only. The fan
speeds are controlled by Thermal Man­agement via IPMI interface. (See Chapter
5 for more details.) See the table on the
right for pin defi nitions.

Chassis Intrusion

A Chassis Intrusion header is located
at JL1 on the motherboard. Attach an
appropriate cable from the chassis to
inform you of a chassis intrusion when
the chassis is opened.

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 two pin jumpers,
"Closed" means the jumper is
on and "Open" means the jumper
is of f the pin s.

GLAN Enable/Disable

JPL1 enables or disables the GLAN
Ports 1/2 and GLAN Ports 3/4 on the
motherboard. See the table on the right

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent acc i d ent a l c le ar i ng o f C M OS . To clear CM O S, u se a m et al o bj e c t suc h
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 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 3: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

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 fi rst (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the front panel
connectors to the motherboard.

No Power

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

2. Make sure that the ATX power connectors are properly connected

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

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

3-1

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

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no 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 modules.
Make sure that 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 Confi 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 sup­plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3. If the above steps do not fi x the Setup Confi guration problem, contact your
vendor for repairs.

3-2

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 different speeds of DIMMs 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)/Re­duced Load (LRDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC/Non-ECC DDR3
modules 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 2-4 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. The system becomes unstable during or after OS installation

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 test­ing 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. Re­place the bad HDDs with good ones.

4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans,
and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set-

3-3

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

tings 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 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 require­ment.

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

B. The system becomes unstable before or during OS installation

When 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 disc, CD/DVD­ROM.

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

3. Using minimum confi guration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards fi rst), and use minimum confi 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 proce­dures.

4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a compo­nent 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 fi 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.
