X9DRW-7TPF/iTPF 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
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-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.
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.
Chapter 2: Overview

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 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 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
2008/2012 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.
The X9DRW series motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Al-
though most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU,
some are inadequate. In addition to the 24-pin ATX power, two 12V 8-pin power
connectors (JPW2/JPW3) 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 and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect
these power supply connectors to the 24-pin power connector (JPW1), and the 8-pin
power connectors (JPW2/JPW3) on the motherboard. Failure in 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 Specication 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
1-14
X9DRW-7TPF/iTPF Motherboard User’s Manual
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 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.
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 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 (NM)
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 Version 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
Chapter 2: Overview
1-15
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
The Nuvoton WPCM450R Controller, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),
supports 2D/VGA-compatible graphic engine with PCI interface, creating multi-me-
dia 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
to communicate with the graphic engine. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote
keyboard/mouse/virtual media emulation. It also provides LPC interface support to
control Super IO functions. The WPCM450R Controller is connected to the network
