Chapter 1: Introduction

1-11

1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

Basic I/O System (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 press the

power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state.

See the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting

is Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an

onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An

onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU core,

+1.8V, +3.3V, +5V, +/-12V, +3.3V Stdby, +5V Stdby, VBAT, Memory and Chipset.

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

PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The

onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS

(under the Hardware Monitoring section in the Advanced Setting).

Environmental Temperature Control

The 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 the ther-

mal sensor detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn

on the thermal fans 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.

1-12

X9SRG-F Motherboard User’s Manual

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS

environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero Doctor is used to notify the user of

certain system events. For example, you can also congure Supero Doctor to provide you with

warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond

predened thresholds.

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 the Microsoft® Windows® series of Operat-

ing Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink

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.

This motherboard accommodates 20-pin power supplies. Although most power sup-

plies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.

In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connectors located at JPW2 and JPW3 are also

required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply

must 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 20-pin and a 8-pin power connectors.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-13

Be sure to connect these connectors to the 20-pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin

(JPW2/JPW3) power connectors 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 ower supply Specications 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI com-

pliant. (For more information, please refer to the web site 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.

Installation

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

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

aging 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 your computer chassis provides excellent

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

battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

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

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

WARNING!

2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct

pressure on the label area.

Notes:

Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding,

removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you in-

stall the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied

multi-directional heatsink only.

Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install

the CPU heatsink.

When receiving a server board without a processor pre-installed, make

sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket

pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.

Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

X9SRG-F Motherboard User’s Manual

Memory Population Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the follow-

ing order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1 then DIMMA2, DIMMB2, DIMMC2,

DIMMD2.

• Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed

of the slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (1 ,3 ,5 ,or 7 modules in-

stalled). However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs

to activate memory interleaving.

2-4 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.

X9SRG-F 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 Philips 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.

Fan Headers (FAN1~4, FANA~D)

The X9SRG-F series has eight (8) fan

headers (Fan 1~Fan 4 and Fan A~Fan

D). These fans are 4-pin fan headers.

Though Pins 1-3 of the fan headers

are backward compatible with tradi-

tional 3-pin fans, it is recommended

that 4-pin fans are used to allow the

fan speed control setting in the BIOS

Hardware Monitoring section (if set)

to automatically adjust fan speeds

based on the system temperature.

Refer to the table on the right for pin

2-7 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.

Note: On two pin jumpers,

"Closed" means the jumper

is on, and "Open" means the

jumper is off the pins.

A. LAN Port 1 Enable

B. LAN Port 2 Enable

LAN Port Enable/Disable (JPL1/
JPL2)

Jumpers JPL1 and JPL2 enables or

disables LAN Port 1 and LAN Port 2

on the motherboard. See the table

on the right for jumper settings. The

default setting is enabled.

Clear CMOS (JBT1)

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.

Important: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the

system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

LAN Port LEDs

The LAN ports are located on the I/O

backpanel of the motherboard. Each

Ethernet LAN port has two LEDs.

The yellow LED indicates activity,

while the Link LED may be green,

amber, or off to indicate the speed of

the connections. On the IPMI port,

the yellow LED on the right indicates

activity, while the green LED on the

left indicates the speed of the con-

nection. See the table at right for

more information. See the tables at

Chapter 3

Troubleshooting

3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all

of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support

Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter.

Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any

hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that the Standby is not on. (Note: If it is on, the onboard power

is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or removing the

components.)

2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for

the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

4. Install a CPU and heatsink (-be sure that it is fully seated) and then connect

the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper

settings as well.

No Power

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check if the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to make sure that it still

supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3-2

X9SRG-F Motherboard User’s Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-

move all the add-on cards and cables rst.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A

for details on beep codes.)

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on,

check the specs of memory modules, reset the memory or try a different one.)

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in

the slots.

2. You should be using memory recommended by Supermicro (see Section 2-3).

Also, it is recommended that you use the memory modules of the same type

and speed for all DIMMs in the system. Do not use memory modules of differ-

ent sizes, different speeds and different types on the same motherboard.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to

see if you can locate the faulty ones.

4. Check the switch of 115V/230V power supply.

When You Lose the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-

ply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section

1-5 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

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all

the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro

does not sell directly to end users, so it is best to rst check with your distributor or

reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)

with the specic system conguration that was sold to you.

1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked

Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website

(http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Sup-

port.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-

cro.com/support/bios/).

Note: Not all BIOS can be ashed. Some cannot be ashed; it depends

on the boot block code of the BIOS.

3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still

cannot resolve the problem, then contact Supermicro's technical support and

provide them with the following information:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number

• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your

system rst boots up)

•System conguration

•An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at (http://www.su-

permicro.com/support/contact.cfm).

4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number

ready when placing a call to our technical support department. We can be

reached by e-mail at [e-mail], by phone at: (408) 503-

8000, option 2, or by fax at [phone].

X9SRG-F Motherboard User’s Manual

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: Please see Section 2-3 for a comprehensive answer.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS les are located on

our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM le to your

computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. Please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable device

or a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch le named "ami.bat"

with the new BIOS ROM le from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive.

Use the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-lename.xxx <Enter>

Note: Always use the le named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and inser t

a space between "ami.bat" and the lename. The BIOS-ROM-lename

will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X9SRG) and build version as the

extension. For example, "X9SRG1.218". When completed, your system

will automatically reboot.

When the BIOS ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and

will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS

defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F3> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F4> to save and exit. The system

will then reboot.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible system boot failure!

Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable.

To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard

to RMA at Supermicro for service.

Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS?

Answer: Please see Appendix C-BIOS Recovery for detailed instructions.

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will

greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the

applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for Windows,

security programs, and audio drivers.

3-5

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Question: Why do I get an error message “IASTOR.SYS read error” and "press F6

to install Intel RAID driver" when installing Windows on my motherboard?

Answer: To solve this issue, disable the IPMI jumper (if your motherboard has this

feature). Another solution is to use a USB oppy drive instead of the onboard oppy

Chapter 4

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X9SRG-F Motherboard.

The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This

chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Note: For instructions on BIOS recovery, please refer to the instruction

guide posted at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the

system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS

setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as

<F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key

legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often informational text will accompany it. (Note:

the AMI BIOS has default informational text built in. Supermicro retains the option

to include, omit, or change any of these informational messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the

setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar-

row keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Conguration Data

Appendix A

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time

the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue

with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to bootup. If a fatal error oc-

curs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.

The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the

corresponding error.

SuperDoctor III Interface Display Screen-I (Health Information)

B-2 Conguring SuperDoctor® III

The SuperDoctor III program is a Web-based management tool that supports remote

management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The local

management tool is called the SD III Client. The SuperDoctor III program included

on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the envi-

ronment and operations of your system. SuperDoctor III displays crucial system

information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the

Figure below for a display of the SuperDoctor III interface.

Note: 1 The default user name and password are ADMIN.

Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the SuperDoctor III settings take pre-

cedence over the BIOS settings. When rst installed, SuperDoctor III adopts the

temperature threshold settings previously set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes

to these thresholds must be made within SuperDoctor, since the settings over-

ride the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature

threshold settings, please change the SD III Client settings to be the same as

those set in BIOS.
