Chapter 1: Overview
1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of Intel E5-2600(v2) Series Pro-
cessors (Socket R LGA 2011) and the C602 chipset, the X9DRFF-i+/iT+/7+/7T+
motherboard provides the performance and feature sets required for dual_pro-
cessor-based Fat Twin server platforms. (See note below for processor support.)
With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X9DRFF-i+/
iT+/7+/7T+ offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface 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:
•PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 support
•ACPI Power Management Logic Support, Rev. 3.0b
•Intel® Intelligent Power Node Management (NM) (Special power supply cables
required)
•Management Engine (ME)
•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
•Intel Anti-Theft Technology (Intel AT) supported
•Digital Media Interface (DMI) supported
•Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supported
•Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt Controller)
supported
Note: For Intel E5-2600(v2) processor support, BIOS version 3.0 or above
is required.

X9DRFF-i+/iT+/7+/7T+ 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 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 dene 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-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.
1-12
Chapter 1: Overview
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.
1-5 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 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-i+/iT+/7+/7T+ motherboard was designed to be installed in Supermicro
-Proprietary Fat Twin chassis as a integrated platform solution. Please refer to your
server manual for power supply requirement.
1-7 Super I/O
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.
Note 1: For more information on IPMI conguration, please refer to the
IPMI User's Guide posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/
support/manuals/.
Note 2: The term "IPMI controller" and the term "BMC controller" can be
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 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.
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
Note: The term "IPMI controller" and the term "BMC controller" can be
used interchangeably in this section.

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 motherboard 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 motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is protected
against static.

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on
the label area.
Notes:
•Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding,
removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
Also, be sure to install a processor in CPU Socket 1 before populating
CPU Socket 2.
•If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-
directional heatsink only.
•Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install
the CPU heatsink.
•When receiving a server board without a processor pre-installed, make sure
that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are
bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
•Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
