X9DB3-F/X9DBi-F/X9DB3-TPF/X9DBi-TPF 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 onboard system management rmware that supports PC health

monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following onboard voltages

continuously: 1.5V, +3.3V, 3.3V Standby, +5V, +5V Standby, and Battery voltages.

Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent

to the screen.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The PC health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard

CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the rmware thermal management via IPMI.

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 system temperature, CPU temperature, voltages

Chapter 1: Overview

1-13

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

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

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 X9DB3/i-F/-TPF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supply. Al-

though most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU,

some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connectors (JPW2/JPW3)

and the 4-pin power connector (JPW4) 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 ensure adequate power supply to the motherboard, please use a power

supply that contains a 24-pin, two 8-pin and one 4-pin power connectors. Be sure to

all power connectors on the motherboard to the power supply. Failure in doing so may

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

1-14

X9DB3-F/X9DBi-F/X9DB3-TPF/X9DBi-TPF Motherboard User’s Manual

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 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.

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.

1-8 Introduction to the IPMI Controller

The Nuvoton WPCM450R Controller, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),

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 (10 pieces)

•Standoffs (10 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are ten (10) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.

Caution: 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 these components when installing the

motherboard to the chassis.

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 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. Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog Timer (JWD1) is a system monitor that

can reboot the system when a software applica-

tion 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 set-

tings. Watch Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.

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 informational text. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often, informational text about the option will

display on the right.

Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The

manufacturer 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 setup

navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.

Note 1: In this section, options printed in Bold are default settings.

Note 2: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save

the settings and exit the setup utility.
