X9DRD-iF/LF Motherboard User’s Manual
1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of Intel E5-2600(v2) Series Proces-
sors (Socket R LGA 2011) and the C602 chipset, the X9DRD-iF/LF motherboard
provides the performance and feature sets required for dual processor-based
HPC/Cluster/Database servers.
With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X9DRD-iF/LF
offers point-to-point serial interconnect inter face with a transfer speed of up to 8.0
GT/s, providing superb system performance.
The C602 chipset provides extensive IO support, including the following functions
and capabilities:
•ACPI Power Management Logic Support, Rev. 4.0
•USB host interface with support of up to 9 connections
•Intel Rapid Storage Technology supported
•Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) supported
•Intel Trusted Execution Technology supported
•Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Supported
•Digital Media Interface (DMI) supported
•Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supported
Note: For Intel E5-2600(v2) processor support, BIOS version 3.0 or above
is required.
1-12
Chapter 1: Overview
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
dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
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-dened
threshold. The overheat circuitry 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 airow 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 of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor
to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.
1-13
X9DRD-iF/LF Motherboard User’s Manual
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-
tion denes a 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 system-
independent interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play
BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent imple-
mentation that is compatible with Windows XP, 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-iF/LF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Al-
though 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. 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 4-pin and two 8-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 connectors are optional; however,
Supermicro recommends that these connectors also be plugged in for optimal power
delivery.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets 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/). Additionally, in
areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line lter
1-14
Chapter 1: Overview
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 Conguration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.
1-8 Advanced Power Management
The following advanced power management features are supported by this moth-
erboard:
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the NMView utility is installed in the system)
The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.
Although IPNM Specication 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 Specication 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 PCH, pro-
vides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by
SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid dam-
aging your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
•Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not
in use.
•For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
