1.3 Platform Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of AMD EPYCTM in Socket SP5, the H14DSG-OD motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 3-nm (Zen 5c) and 4-nm (Zen 5) process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms.

With support of the new micro-architecture 3-nm process technology, it increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.

The following features are supported by AMD EPYC™:

• ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 6.5
- Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
• PCIe 5.0 with a transfer rate up to 32 GT/s
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification Version 3.1.1

1.4 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

An onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, processor, and battery. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen. You can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time voltage levels are displayed in IPMI.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The system health monitor embedded in the BMC chip can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The processor and chassis fans are controlled via IPMI.

Environmental Temperature Control

System Health sensors in the BMC monitor the temperatures and voltage settings of onboard processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the temperature of the processor or the system exceeds a user-defined threshold, system/processor cooling fans will be turned on to prevent the processor or the system from overheating.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system.

1.5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a computer system, including its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as 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, an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with Windows Server 2022.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To avoid damaging your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient 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 motherboard 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 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 motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

2.2 Motherboard Installation

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the chassis match.

Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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.

Tools Needed

Technical line drawings of three different screw and nut components (no text or symbols)

Figure 2-1. Torque Driver (1), Philips Screws (12), Standoffs (12)

Location of Mounting Holes

1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not use a force greater than 8 lbf-in on each mounting screw during motherboard installation.
2. Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Take precautionary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.

1. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.

Figure 2-5. Align the Mounting Holes

1. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.
2. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging other motherboard components.
3. Insert pan head #6 screws into the mounting holes on the motherboard and the matching mounting holes on the chassis.
4. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.

2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

This section provides procedures to install the processor(s) and heatsink(s).

Notes:

• Take industry standard precautions to avoid ESD damage. For details, see "Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 24.
• Before starting, make sure that the plastic socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent. If any damage is noted, contact your retailer.
• Do not connect the system power cord before the processor and heatsink installation is complete.
• When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands (gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the processor or processor socket.
• Install the processor in the socket and the motherboard into the chassis before installing the heatsink.
• When buying a processor separately, use only a Supermicro certified heatsink.
  • Refer to the Supermicro website for the most recent processor support.
• When installing the heatsink, ensure a torque driver set to the correct force is used for each screw.
• Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.

Preparing the Processor Socket

1. Remove the screw holding down the force frame. The spring-loaded force frame will raise up. Allow it to lift up to its stopped position.

Figure 2-8. Remove the Cap

Installing the Processor into the Frame

1. The processor package is shipped from the factory with the carrier frame pre-assembled. Grip the handle of the carrier frame/processor assembly from its shipping tray, and while gripping the handle, align the flanges of the carrier frame onto the rails of the rail frame so its pins will be at the bottom when the rail frame is lowered later.

2. Slide the carrier frame/processor assembly downwards to the bottom of the rail frame. Ensure the flanges are secure on the rails as you lower it downwards.

Note: You can only install the processor inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the socket before closing the rail frame plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your processor. Instead, open the rail frame plate again, and double-check that the processor is aligned properly.

1. Gently lower the rail frame down onto the socket until the latches on the rail frame engage with the socket housing and it rests in place. Do not force it into place! Note that the force frame is spring loaded and must be held in place before it is secured.

1. Use a T20 bit torque driver, set at 12.5–15.0 kgf-cm (10.8–13.0 in-lbf) to prevent damage to the processor. Replace and tighten the screws in the same order they were removed. When finished, the force frame will be secure over both the rail frame and processor package.

Installing the Heatsink

After the force frame is secured and the processor is in place, install the heatsink onto the processor.

1. Place the heatsink so that it rests on the processor aligning the six screws on the socket frame.

Figure 2-9. Heatsink Placement

1. Using a T20 torque driver, tighten the screws using the diagonal tightening pattern and torque specifications printed on the heatsink. Tighten the two center screws completely before tightening the four corner screws.

The heatsink is now secured.

Uninstalling the Heatsink and Processor

1. Remove the screws holding the heatsink and gently work it loose.
2. Clean the thermal grease left by the heatsink on the processor assembly to limit the risk of it contaminating the land pads or contacts in the socket housing.
3. Unscrew the plate and lift the force frame to the vertical position.
4. Lift the rail frame using the lift tabs near the front end of the rail frame. Note that the rail frame is spring loaded, so be careful lifting it up into a vertical position.
5. Grip the handle of the carrier frame and pull upwards to extract it from the rail frame. Return the processor assembly to its original shipping container.

6. Grip the handle on the external cap and return it to the rail frame sliding it downwards till it rests in the frame.

7. Gripping the rail frame, rotate it downwards till it rests above and locks over the socket housing in its horizontal position.

8. Push and rotate down the force frame till it is over the external cap and rail frame into a horizontal position.
9. While holding down the force frame, secure it back to the socket frame by securing screw #1 in place.

5. Check the processor socket for bent pins and make sure the processor is fully seated.
6. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies approximately 3 VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you do not have video, remove all add-on cards and cables.
2. 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).

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display Power-On-Self-Test (POST) or does not respond after the power is turned on, do the following:

1. Check the screen for an error message.
2. Clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and contacting both pads on the CMOS clear jumper. Restart the system. Refer to "CMOS Clear" on page 48.
3. Remove all components from the motherboard and turn on the system with only one DIMM installed. If the system boots, turn off the system and repopulate the components back into the system to retest. Add one component at a time to isolate which one may have caused the system boot issue.

Memory Errors

When suspecting faulty memory is causing the system issue, check the following:

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and are properly installed. See "Component Installation" on page 22 for installation instructions. (For memory compatibility, refer to the "Tested Memory List" link on the motherboard's product page to see a list of supported memory.)
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of DIMMs recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Check for bad DIMMs or slots by swapping a single module among all memory slots and check the results.

Losing the System's Setup Configuration

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 Introduction for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies approximately 3 VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

If the System Becomes Unstable

A. If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the following:

1. Processor/BIOS support: Make sure that your processor is supported and that you have the latest BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported. Refer to the product page on our website at https://www.supermicro.com. Test the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Click on the "Tested Memory List" link on the motherboard's product page to see a list of supported memory.

1. Storage Drive support: Make sure that all storage drives work properly. Replace the failed storage drives with good ones.

2. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and processor/system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings in the IPMI to make sure that the processor and system temperatures are within the normal range. Also, check the front panel Overheat LED and make sure that it is not on.

3. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected. Refer to our website for more information on the minimum power requirements.

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

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working properly, including boot devices such as a USB flash or media device.

2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working properly.

3. Use the minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components (starting with add-on cards first), and use the minimum configuration (but with the processor and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the steps listed above in this section for proper troubleshooting procedures.

4. Identify bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a component 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 find 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.

Check our BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our website. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS file to your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before downloading.

Important: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent possible system boot failure! Read the motherboard README file carefully before you perform the BIOS update.

Unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable USB device and then boot into the built-in UEFI Shell and type "flash.nsh " to start the BIOS update. The flash script will invoke the SUM (EFI) tool automatically to perform the BIOS update, beginning with uploading the BIOS image to BMC. After uploading the firmware, the system will reboot to continue the process. The BMC will take over and continue the BIOS update in the background. The process will take 3–5 minutes.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the Delete key while the system is booting-up. In most cases, the key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as , , etc. Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual.

The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. "Grayed-out" options cannot be configured. 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 a text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

A "▶" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the key open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these hot keys (, , , , Arrow keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.

4.2 Main Setup

The Main setup screen appears when the AMI BIOS Setup utility is first entered. To return to the Main setup screen, select the Main tab at the top of the screen. The Main BIOS setup screen is shown below.
