X9DRW-3LN4F+/3TF+ 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 volt-

ages continuously: VCORE0, VCORE1, MEM_AB, MEM_CD, MEM_EF, MEM_GH,

3.3V, 3.3VSB, 5V, 5VSB, +12V, and Battery Voltage. Once a voltage becomes un-

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

board CPU and chassis fans are controlled by rmware thermal management via

IPMI interface.

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

Chapter 2: Overview

1-13

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.

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 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 X9DRW series 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 to the 24-pin ATX power, two 12V 8-pin

power connectors (JPW2/JPW3) and one 4-pin power connector (JPW4) 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 prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please

use a power supply that contains a 24-pin, two 8-pin and one 3-pin power

connectors. Be sure to connect these power supply connectors to the 24-

pin power connector (JPW1), the 8-pin power connectors (JPW2/JPW3)

and the 4-pin power connector (JPW4) on the motherboard. Failure in

1-14

X9DRW-3LN4F+/3TF+ Motherboard User’s Manual

doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and

motherboard.

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 Super I/O

The Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication

ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable

baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt

system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps.

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.

1-8 Advanced Power Management

The new Advanced Power Management features are included below:

The new advanced power management features supported by this motherboard

include IPNM and ME. Please note that you will need to do 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 (NM)

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 Manageability 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.

Chapter 2: Overview

1-15

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.

1-9 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.
