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:1.8V, +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V, +5VSB,12V, Chipset Voltage, and
Battery Voltage. 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.
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 IPMI Thermal Management.
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-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
Chapter 1: Overview
1-13
to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.
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 imple-
mentation 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 X9DRL-3F/X9DRL-iF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specications 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 the motherboard, be
sure to use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power
connectors. Be sure to connect the power supply to the 24-pin power
connector (JPW4), and two 8-pin power connectors (JPW1, JPW2) on the
motherboard. Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on
your power supply and motherboard.
1-14
X9DRL-3F/X9DRL-iF Motherboard User’s Manual
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Speci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
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 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by this
motherboard:
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available when the NMView Utility is Installed)
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 Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ability Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
Manageability Engine (ME)
The Manageability 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.
1-8 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
Controller is ideal for remote system management.
The WPCM450R Controller interfaces with the host system via PCI connections
