1-12

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 dene 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-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

to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,

voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Chapter 2: Overview

1-13

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, 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 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) 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 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

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 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 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 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 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

via an external Ethernet PHY module or shared NCSI connections.

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 channels

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 (11 pieces)

•Standoffs (11 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are eleven (11) 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 avoid damaging components when installing the mother-

board 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 with 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.

UnitIdentierSwitch

A Unit Identifier (UID) Switch and

two LED Indicators are located on

the motherboard. The UID Switch is

located next to the TLAN Port 2 on the

backplane. The Rear UID LED (LE2)

is located next to the UID Switch.

The Front Panel UID LED is located

at pins 7/8 of the Front Control Panel

at JF1. Connect a cable to pin 8 on

JF1 for Front Panel UID LED indica-

tion. When you press the UID switch,

both Rear UID LED and Front Panel

UID LED Indicators will be turned on.

Press the UID switch again to turn

off both LED Indicators. These UID

Indicators provide easy identication

of a system unit that may be in need

of service.

Note: UID can also be trig-

gered via IPMI on the moth-

erboard. For more informa-

tion on IPMI, please refer

to the IPMI User's Guide

Fan Headers

This motherboard has six system/CPU

fan headers (Fan 1~Fan 6) on the moth-

erboard. All these 4-pin fans headers are

backward compatible with the traditional

3-pin fans. However, fan speed control

is available for 4-pin fans only. The fan

speeds are controlled by rmware ther-

mal management via IPMI interface. See

the table on the right for pin denitions.

2-8 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts be-

tween 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 appli-

cation hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset the sys-

tem if an application hangs. Close pins 2-3 to

generate a non-maskable interrupt signal for

the application that hangs. See the table on

the right for jumper settings. Watch Dog must

also be enabled in the BIOS.

Serial ATA Ports

There are two SATA 3.0 Ports (I-SATA0/1)

and eight SATA 2.0 Ports (I-SATA 2-5,

S-SATA 0-3) on the motherboard. These

ports provide serial-link signal connec-

tions, which are faster than the connec-

tions of Parallel ATA. In addition, I-SATA5

also functions as a wireless SATA DOM

that can be used to provide power supply

to onboard SATA DOM devices. See the

3-3

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Memory Errors

When a No-Memory Beep Code is issued by the system, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that

the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,

refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our website @ http://www.

supermicro.com.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-

mended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load

Reduced (LRDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC-Non ECC DDR3 mod-

ules recommended by the manufacturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among

all memory slots and check the results.

5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the

instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in

Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. When the system becomes unstable during or after OS 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 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 heatsink fans,

and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set-

tings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are

3-4

X9DRW-7TPF/iTPF Motherboard User’s Manual

within the normal range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED, and make

sure that the Overheat LED is not on.

5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate

power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected.

Please refer to our website for more information on minimum power require-

ment.

6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

B. 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guration

(with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas.

Refer to the steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting proce-

dures.

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 this 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.
