1-12

X9QRi-F/X9QR7-TF/X9QR7-TF-JBOD 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

voltages continuously: memory voltage, chipset voltage, +3.3V, 3.3V Standby, +5V,

+12V, and battery voltage. Once a voltage becomes unstable, 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 monitoring chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The

onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Firmware 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. Once the CPU temperature reach the temperature threshold, it will au-

tomatically 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

Chapter 1: Overview

1-13

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 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 imple-

mentation 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 X9QRi-F/X9QR7-TF/X9QR7-TF-JBOD motherboard accommodates 24-pin

ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specica-

tions required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, four 12V 8-pin power

connections 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 avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, be sure to use an

SMCI-proprietary power supply that contains a 24-pin and four 8-pin power connectors.

Connect these power supply connectors to the 24-pin power connector (JPWR5) and

the 8-pin power connectors (JPWR1~4) on the motherboard. Failure to do so will void

the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

1-14

X9QRi-F/X9QR7-TF/X9QR7-TF-JBOD Motherboard User’s Manual

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

as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which

support higher speed modems.

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 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 (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.

Chapter 1: 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

Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the re-

quired amount has already been applied.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are

aligned with those on the Motherboard's and the Heatsink Bracket under-

neath.

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug

(-do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

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

•Philips Screwdriver

•Pan head screws (17 pieces)

•Standoffs (17 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are thirteen (17) 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.

2-18

X9QRi-F/X9QR7-TF/X9QR7-TF-JBOD Motherboard User’s Manual

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 is for illustration only. Your chassis or compo-

nents might look different from those shown in this manual.

Unit Identier Switch

A Unit Identier Switch (UIDB1) and two LED

Indicators are located on the motherboard.

The UID Switch is located next to the LAN

ports on the backplane. The Rear UID LED

(LED11) 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. Con-

nect a cable to Pin 8 on JF1 for Front Panel

UID LED indication. 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 triggered via

IPMI on the motherboard. For more

information on IPMI, please refer to

the IPMI User's Guide posted on

our Website @http://www.supermi-

cro.com.

2-7 Connecting Cables

Power Connectors

A 24-pin main power supply

connector(JPWR5) and four 8-pin CPU

PWR connectors (JPW2/3/4/5) are lo-

cated on the motherboard. These power

connectors are specially designed to

support SMCI-proprietary power sup-

plies. To avoid damaging the power

supply or motherboard, be sure to use

an appropriate SMCI power supply that

contains a 24-pin and four 8-pin power

connectors. Connect these PS con-

nectors to the 24-pin power connector

(JPWR5) and the 8-pin power connec-

tors (JPWR1~4) on the motherboard to

ensure adequate power supply to your

system. Failure to do so will void the

manufacturer warranty on your power

supply and motherboard.

Fan Headers

This motherboard has eight system/CPU

fan headers (Fan1~Fan4, Fan A, Fan B,

Fan C and Fan D) on the motherboard. 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 thermal manage-

ment 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 mother-

board, jumpers can be used to choose

between optional settings. Jumpers create

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 connec-

tion. 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.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that

will 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 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.

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display POST or does not respond after the power is turned

on, check the following:

1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.

•If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules in-

stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only

one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. If there is still no error beep, replace

the motherboard.

•If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord

and contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper]. (Refer to Section 2-8

in Chapter 2.)

2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM mod-

ules. Make sure that the system's power is on, and memory error beeps are

activated.

3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system

boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors

Troubleshooting procedure in this Chapter.

Losing the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality

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

Refer to Section 2-7 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 above steps do not x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

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 Registered (RDIMM)/Load Reduced (LRDIMM)

ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC-Non ECC DDR3 modules as recommend-

ed 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. The system becomes unstable during or after the OS installation

The system becomes unstable during or after the 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.

X9QRi-F/X9QR7-TF/X9QR7-TF-JBOD Motherboard User’s Manual

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

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.

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.
