Preface

About This Manual

This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and

knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of

the X9SCE-F motherboard product series. This product is intended to be

professionally installed and serviced by a technician.

About This Motherboard

The X9SCE-F motherboard is a proprietary form-factor, high-density motherboard

designed for microcloud node applications.

The X9SCE-F supports an Intel® Xeon E3-1200 & E3-1200 v. 2 series and 3rd Gen.

Core i3 CPU on an H2 socket (LGA 1155) and the Intel C204 PCH chipset. This

motherboard also features support for up to 32 GB DDR3 ECC UDIMMM memory,

two SATA 3.0 ports on the backplane (6 Gb/sec), one 10/100 IPMI LAN, and a

KVM connector on the I/O panel. These features enable the X9SCE-F to deliver a

cost-effective microcloud solution in a small form-factor package.

Manual Organization

Chapter 1 describes the features, specications and performance of the mother-

board and provides detailed information about the C204 chipset.

Chapter 2 provides hardware installation instructions. Read this chapter when in-

stalling the processor, memory modules and other hardware components into the

system. If you encounter any problems, see Chapter 3, which describes trouble-

shooting procedures for video, memory and system setup stored in the CMOS.

Chapter 4 includes an introduction to the BIOS and provides detailed information

on running the CMOS Setup utility.

Appendix A lists Driver Installation Instructions.

Appendix B provides the UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions.

1-2 Chipset Overview

The X9SCE-F supports a single Intel® Xeon E3-1200 series processor in an H2

Socket (LGA 1155). Built around the Intel C204 chipset, this motherboard provides

substantial enhancement to system performance and storage capability for entry-

level to mid-range blade servers in a microcloud platform.

The high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) featured in the Intel C204 chipset

supports high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) for chip-to-chip true isochronous

communication, providing up to 2 Gb/s of software-transparent data transfer rate

on each read/write direction. In addition, the X9SCE-F also features a TCO (Time

Controlled Operations) timer which allows the system to recover from a software/

hardware lock and perform tasks, including ECC Error Reporting, Function Dis-

able and Intruder Detect.

•Direct Media Interface (up 4 Gb/s transfer, Full Duplex)

•Intel® Intel Rapid Storage Technology

•Intel I/O Virtualization (VT-d) Support

•Intel Trusted Execution Technology Support

•PCI Express 2.0 Interface (up to 5.0 GT/s)

X9SCE-F User’s Manual

1-3 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X9SCE-F. The

motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC

health monitoring.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

BIOS provides a setting for you to determine 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 hit the power switch to turn it back

on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control

setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-

ting is Last State.

Onboard Voltage Monitoring

The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU
core, +1.8V, +3.3V,+5V, +12V, +3.3V Stdby, +5V Stdby, VBAT, VCCP, Memory,

Chipset. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error

message to the screen. The User can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the

sensitivity of the voltage monitor by using SD III.

Fan Status Monitor with Software

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero

Doctor III.

BIOS Support for USB Keyboard

If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal

keyboard during system boot-up.

1-4 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 of 1 GHz and faster.

The X9SCE-F accommodates the SMC 1620W power supply through the

PDB and SATA back plane.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-11

1-5 Super I/O

The Super I/O provides one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication

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

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

system. It also provides 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 a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management

to reduce power consumption.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-

age to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following

measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in

use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure that your computer chassis provides excel-

lent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners

and the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard

upside down battery to avoid damaging the components.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

Waarschuwing

De uiteindelijke verwijdering van dit product dient te geschieden in overeenstemming

met alle nationale wetten en reglementen.
