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 following onboard

voltages continuously: Onboard voltage monitors for 3.3V, +3.3VSB, 5V, +5VSB,

+12V/-12V, VBAT, HT, memory voltages, chipset voltages and CPU core 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 dene the sensitivity

of the voltage monitor.

Environmental Temperature Control

A thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperatures in real time and will turn

on the thermal control fans whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-dened

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 air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 of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor

to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,

voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Chapter 1: Overview

1-13

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-

tion denes 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 con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 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 the 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 X9DRFF-iG+/iTG+/7G+/7TG+ motherboard supports two 8-pin and one 4-pin

power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specications

required by the CPU, some are inadequate. All these power connections are re-

quired for Fat Twin use only.

Note: To ensure adequate power to the system, SMC-proprietary power

backplanes or adaptors may be required. Refer to the server user's manual

that came with your system for detailed instructions on power supply

recommendations.

1-7 Super I/O

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration

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.

Note 1: For more information on IPMI conguration, please refer to the

IPMI User's Guide posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/

used interchangeably in this section.

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 efciency.

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 Specication 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.
