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: +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V, CPU, memory, chipset, and battery

voltages. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error mes-

sage 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 monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The on-

board cooling and chassis fans are controlled by rmware thermal management

via IPMI interface.

Environmental Temperature Control

A thermal management controller 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

the CPU temperature is too high, the thermal control manager will automatically turn

on the thermal fan control to prevent the CPU from overheating, and the overheat

beep will be activated to alert the user when the 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® 5 in the Windows or Linux

environment. 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

Chapter 1: Overview

1-13

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 enabling 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, Windows 2008 and

Windows 2012 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.

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.

Note: The X9DRT-P series motherboard supports proprietary power con-

nectors. Please refer to page 2-19 for power supply information.

1-7 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.
