Jumpers and Connectors on the AOM-X10OBi-PCH

Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the system 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 identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the system board 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.

Connector Pins Jumper Cap Setting

3 2 1 Pin 1-2 short

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads to prevent the accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear the 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 the 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 the CMOS.

Note 2. Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short JBT1 to clear the CMOS. Clearing the CMOS will also clear any passwords.

VGA Enable (On the I/O Module)

SATA Connectors

I-SATA 0/1 & M.2 Connectors

Two-SATA 3.0 connectors (I-SATA 0/1) are located on the AOM-X10OBi-PCH. These SATA ports are supported by the Intel PCH chip and are used with Supermicro SuperDOM (Disk-on-Module) connectors with power-pins built in. The SuperDOM connectors are backward-compatible with regular SATA HDDs and SATA DOMs. In addition, two M.2 connectors (J7, J8) are also located on the PCH board to provide SATA 2.0 (or PCI-E 2.0) support. All SATA ports provide serial-link signal connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.

Note: Supermicro SuperDOMs are yellow SATADOM connectors with power pins built in and do not require separate external power cables. These connectors are backward-compatible with non-Supermicro SATADOMs that require an external power supply. For more information on the SATA HostRAID configuration, please refer to the Intel SATA HostRAID user's guide posted on our website @ http://www.supermicro.com.

Unit Identifi er Switch/LED

A Unit Identifier (UID) switch and an UID LED indicator are located on the PCH card. The UID LED (LED2) is located next to the UID switch. When you press the UID switch, the UID LED will be turned on. Press the UID switch again to turn it off. These UID indicator provide easy identification of a system unit that may be in need of service.

System Block Diagram

Note: This is a general block diagram and may not exactly represent the features on your system. See the "System Platform Features" pages for the actual specifications of the system.

1-8 Processor/PCH Platform Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E7-8800 v3/v4 series processor(s) and the 602J PCH, the X10OBi system provides support for an 8-way processor-based HPC/Cluster/Database server platform.

With the Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) controller built in, the E7-8800 v3/v4 series processor offers a point-to-point system interconnect interface, greatly enhancing system performance by utilizing serial link interconnections, which allows for increased bandwidth and scalability.

The 602J PCH provides an Interface between the QPI-based processor and PCI-Express components. Each processor supports full-width, bidirectional interconnects at the speeds of up to 9.6 GT/s. Each QPI link consists of 20 pairs of unidirectional differential lanes for data transmission in addition to a differential forwarding clock. The x16 PCI Express Gen 3 connections can also be configured as x8, x4, and x2 links to comply with the PCI-E Base Specification, Rev. 2.0. These PCI-E Gen 3 lanes support peer-to-peer read-and-write transactions.

The 602J PCH also offers a wide range of ESI, Intel® I/OAT Gen 3, Intel VT-d, and RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) support. The features supported include memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single Device Data Correction (SDDC), Flow-through CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check), parity protection, out-of-band register access via the SMBus, and memory mirroring for data integrity.

Main Features of the Intel E7-8800 (v3/v4) Processor

• Full-connectivity (with four Intel® QuickPath Interconnects and up to ten cores in each socket with 24MB of shared last level (L3) cache supported)
  • CPU-integrated memory controller with support of the following:
• DDR4 ECC 3DS LRDIMM/LRDIMM/RDIMM memory with speeds of up to 1866 MHz
  • Virtualization Technology
  • 44-bit physical address and 48-bit virtual address supported

1-9 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 the system to automatically return to a power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.

1-10 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of your system. A Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip, which is located on the AOM-X10OBi-PCH board, provides PC health monitoring. The onboard BMC will scan the onboard voltages continuously: CPU vcore (up to 8 CPU cores), 3.3VSB, P3V3, 12V, 5V, memory voltage, and battery voltage. If 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 define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

PC health monitoring in the BMC can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the IPMI interface.

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-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the thermal 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 airflow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor 5 in Windows

OS or with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events.

1-11 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 PC system, including the hardware, operating system, and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals, 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 configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug-and-Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with Windows Server 2012, and Windows 2016 newer operating systems.

1-12 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. This is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates.

The X10OBi system comes with five main system power supplies on the rear side of the chassis to supply the power need of your system. In addition to these five power supplies, there are individual power connectors installed on an add-on card or a component board to provide power supply to the components installed on that particular add-on card or component board. These power connectors include the following:

• One (1) 8-pin GPU/Backplane power connector (JP2) is located on the X10OBi-CPU board to provide power supply to the GPU or backplane devices installed on the CPU board,
• Two (2) 3-pin SATA DOM power connectors (JSD1/JSD2) are located on the AOM-X10OBi-PCH card to provide power supply to the SATA DOM devices on the PCH card,
• Three (3) 8-pin HDD power connectors (JPWR1/ JPWR2/JPWR3) are located on the AOM-X10OBi-HDD card to provide power supply to the HDD devices on the HDD card,

- One (1) 4-pin USB power connector is located on the reverse side of the BPN-X10OBi card to provide power supply to the USB device accessible from the rear side of the chassis.

Please connect these power connectors to the power supply to provide adequate power to the components and the system.

Warning! To avoid damaging the power supply or the system, be sure to connect all the power connectors mentioned above to the power supply. Failure to do so will void the manufacturer warranties on both your power supply and your system.

It is strongly recommended that you use high-quality power supplies that meet ATX Power Supply Specification 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 fi liter 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.

1-13 Advanced Power Management

The new advanced power management features supported by the motherboard includes the following:

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available when the NMView utility is installed in the system)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency. Although IPNM Specification Version 1.5/20 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.

Note: Support for IPNM Specification Version 1.5 or Version 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, provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

Note: For more information regarding the Intel PCH, please refer to the AOM-X10OBi-PCH section.

If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only one CPU board on the CPU card Slot1 on the BPN-X10OBi midplane. If there is still no error beep, replace the system board.

- If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1) on the X10OBi-PCH card. (Refer to the PCH card section in Chapter 1.)

1. Remove all components from the system board, and add-on cards, especially the DIMM modules. Make sure that the system power is on and that memory error beeps are activated.

2. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module on a X10OBi CPU board, and with only one CPU board installed in the entire system. 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 Configuration

1. Make sure that you are using high-quality power supplies. A poor-quality power supply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information.

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

3. If the above steps do not fix the setup configuration problem, contact your vendor for repairs.

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 at http://www.supermicro.com.)
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that the same RAM speed of DIMMs are used in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of memory modules as recommended by Supermicro. Please refer to the memory support section on the CPU board section in Chapter.
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 the Memory Tables in the CPU card section in Chapter 1.

When the System Becomes Unstable

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

1. CPU/BIOS support: Check whether your CPU is supported and whether you have the latest BIOS installed.
2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Refer to the product page on our Website at http://www.supermicro.com for the memory compatibility list.

1. HDD support: Check whether all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the bad HDDs with good ones. (HDDs are installed on the X10OBi-HDD card.)

2. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans, and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring settings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and system temperatures are within the normal range. Also, check the front-panel Overheat LED to make sure that the Overheat LED is not on.

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

Question: How do I update my BIOS under UEFI Shell?

Note: We do not recommend that you update your BIOS if you are not experiencing a BIOS-related problem. If you need to update your BIOS, please follow the steps below to properly update your BIOS under UEFI Shell.

1. Download and save the BIOS update package to your computer

2. Extract the files from the UEFI folder of the BIOS package to a USB stick.

Note: The USB stick doesn't have to be bootable; however, it has to be formatted with the FAT/FAT32 file system.

1. Insert the USB stick into a USB port, boot to the UEFI Built-In Shell, and type the following commands to start the BIOS update:

Shell> fs0:

fs0:> cd UEFI

1. The FLASH.NSH script will compare the Flash Descriptor Table (FDT) code in the new BIOS with the existing one in the motherboard:

a. If a different FDT is found

• A new file, STARTUP.NSH, will be created, and the system will automatically reboot in 10 seconds without you pressing any key. BIOS will be updated after the system reboots.
• You can also press to force an immediate system reboot to shorten the process. During system reboot, press the key to invoke the boot menu and boot into the build-in UEFI Shell. Your BIOS will be updated automatically.

b. If the FDT is the same

• BIOS update will be immediately performed without a system reboot initiated.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent possible system boot failure!)

1. Perform an A/C power cycle after the message indicating the BIOS update has completed.
2. Go to the BIOS setup utility, and restore the BIOS settings.

Appendix C

UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue. Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

C-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface between the operating system and the platform firmware in the pre-boot environment. The UEFI specification supports an architecture-independent mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored in the add-on card, to boot the system. The UEFI offers a clean, hands-off control to a computer system at bootup.

C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (-the Main BIOS Block)

A UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is on, the boot block codes execute first. Once it is completed, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.

Note: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS boot crashes. However, when the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures below for BIOS recovery.

C-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB-Attached Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device without additional utilities used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.

The file system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size becomes too large because it contains too many folders and files.
