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.

X9DRT-P/-PT/-PIBQ/-PIBF Motherboard User’s Manual

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.

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 chan-

nels 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 (9 pieces)

•Standoffs (9 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are nine (9) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.

Warning: 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.

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.

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 cre-

ate shorts between two pins to change

the function of the connector. Pin 1

is identied 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.

B. Watch Dog Enable

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that

can 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 non-maskable interrupt sig-

nals for the application that hangs. See the

table on the right for jumper settings. Watch

Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.

power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information.

Refer to Section 1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup-

plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3. If the steps indicated above do not x setup conguration problems, contact

your vendor for repairs.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. The system becomes unstable during or after OS system installation

When the system becomes unstable during or after OS system installation, check

the following:

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and you have the

latest BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-

ing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Refer to the product page on our website at http://www.supermicro.

com for memory and CPU support and updates.

3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Re-

place the bad HDDs with good ones.

4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all cooling fans and

system fans work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring settings in the BIOS

to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are within the normal

range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED, and make sure that the

When the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the

following:

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are

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 conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary

components (-starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum congura-

tion (with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the problematic

areas.

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 the 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.
