X9DR7-TF+/X9DRE-TF+ 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 the voltages of CPU,
memory, chipset and onboard battery continually. 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 the
thermal management rmware 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 pre-dened range.
Page 21
Chapter 1: Overview
1-13
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
implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, 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 X9DR7-TF+/X9DRE-TF+ motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power sup-
plies. 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. Your power supply
must also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, please use a power
supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect
these power supply connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and two 8-pin power connectors
(JPW2, JPW3) on the motherboard. Failure to do so will void the manufacturer war-
ranty on your power supply and motherboard.
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
Page 22
1-14
X9DR7-TF+/X9DRE-TF+ Motherboard User’s Manual
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 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 new advanced power management features supported by this motherboard
include IPNM and ME. Please note that you will need to do the 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 efciency.
Although IPNM is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller),
your system must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) rmware
installed in your system for IPNM support.
Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
Page 23
Chapter 1: Overview
1-15
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.
1-9 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller
The Nuvoton WPCM450R Controller, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),
supports 2D/VGA-compatible Graphic Cores with PCI interface, creating multi-media
virtualization via Keyboard/Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR). The WPCM450R

Other Important Notes and Restrictions
•For the memory modules to work properly, please install DIMM modules of the same
type, same speed and same operating frequency on the motherboard. Mixing of
RDIMMs, UDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not allowed. Do not install both ECC and Non-ECC
memory modules on the same motherboard.
•Using DDR3 DIMMs with different operating frequencies is not allowed. All channels
in a system will run at the lowest common frequency.

2-5 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to 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 fas-
teners, 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 (11 pieces)
•Standoffs (11 pieces, if needed)
Locations of Mounting Holes
There are eleven (11) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.
Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components,
please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw
during motherboard installation. 2) Some components are very close to the
mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to prevent damage
to these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.
Page 41
Chapter 2: Installation
2-17
Installing the Motherboard
1. Install the I/O shield into the chassis.
2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard.
3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes
on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.
4. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.
5. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging mother-
board components.
6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, insert a Pan head #6 screw into a mounting
hole on the motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis.
7. Repeat Step 5 to insert #6 screws into all mounting holes.
8. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.
Note: Images displayed are for illustration only. Your chassis or compo-
nents might look different from those shown in this manual.

UnitIdentierSwitch
A Unit Identier (UID) Switch and two LED
Indicators are located on the motherboard.
The UID Switch is located next to the LAN 2/4
ports on the backplane. The Rear UID LED
(LE2) 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 In-
dicators. These UID Indicators provide easy
identication of a s 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.supermi-

2-8 Jumper Settings
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 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 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.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable
Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that
will reboot the system when a software ap-
plication hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset the
system if an application hangs. Close pins
2-3 to generate a non-maskable interrupt
signal for the application that hangs. See the
table on the right for jumper settings. Watch
Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.

working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD disc, CD/DVD-
ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and
working properly.
3. Using minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum conguration
(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.
