• Integrated accelerators optimized for workload enhancement including Advanced Matrix Extensions (IntelAMX), In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAX), Data Streaming Accelerator (IntelDSA), and QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT)

Note: For the needed drivers to support the Intel QAT function, please visit https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/topic-technology/open/quick-assist-technology/overview.html.

• Breakthroughs in memory and I/O support, including DDR5 (5600 MT/s max., depending on the processor), HBM (with 1 TB bandwidth max.), PCIe 5.0 (80 lanes max.), and CXL 1.1 (four devices per CPU)
• Increased operational and performance efficiency with substantial enhancements in virtualization, network security, and telemetry and power management
• Integrated AI accelerators with support of 3rd Gen. Intel Deep Learning Boost and new Tile Matrix Multiply (AMX/MUL)
• Enhanced Intel Security Boost Software Guard Extensions with Integrity Platform Firmware Resilience support
• Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (Intel UPI) up to four links per processor at 20 GT/s max. (depending on the processor)
• New Compute Express Link (CXL) and Intel Speed Select Technology
  • CPU with 52 physical address/57 virtual address support

PCH Features Supported

- Flexible I/O at 20 lanes for PCIe 3.0, 1 G Ethernet in PCH for manageability, and eight DMIs at PCIe 3.0

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 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, and CPU continuously. 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 system health monitor embedded in the BMC chip can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled via BMC.

Environmental Temperature Control

System Health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard processors and the system in real time via the BMC interface. Whenever the temperature of the CPU or the system exceeds Supermicro's pre-defined threshold, the system and CPU cooling fan speed will increase to prevent the CPU or system from overheating.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please 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, 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 appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information regarding OS support, please refer to the Supermicro website.

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 where noisy power transmission is present.

Several busbars from power distribution boards provide power to the X13DEG-R motherboard. The power distribution boards in the system are connected to Supermicro proprietary power supplies.

It is strongly recommended that you only use Supermicro approved redundant power supply units for the Supermicro system chassis.

1.7 System Reboot

This motherboard, Intended to be used in a Supermicro GPU server, supports an innovative cooling technology, which will continue cooling down the system even after shutting down. After the system is shutdown, the power button LED on the front panel will start to blink green, indicating that the cooling procedure is in progress. This cooling procedure will take 120 seconds to complete. When the procedure is complete, the power button LED will turn solid amber. We recommend the user to allow this cooling procedure to complete before issuing a power-on command or removing power cable(s) from the system.

• 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 a possible battery explosion.

- When installing the processor, ensure a torque driver set to the correct force is used for each screw.

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 Processor Installation and Removal

The processor (CPU) and processor carrier should be assembled together first to form the processor carrier assembly. This assembly will be then attached to the heatsink to form the processor heatsink module (PHM) before being installed into the CPU socket. Before installation, be sure to perform the following steps:

• Please carefully follow the instructions given on the previous page to avoid ESD-related damages.
• Unplug the AC power cords from all power supplies after shutting down the system.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket, and none of the socket pins are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
• 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 CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
  • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor and memory support.

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 non hot-swap hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chassis.
2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and mouse.
3. Remove all add-on cards.
4. Install the CPU (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the front panel connectors to the motherboard.

No Power

1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and the chassis.
2. Make sure that the ATX power connectors are properly connected.
3. Check that the 115V/230V switch, if available, on the power supply is properly set.
4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system, if applicable.
5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies approximately 3VDC. 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 POST (Power-On-Self-Test) or does not respond after the power is turned on, check the following:

1. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Power on the system and check if the power-on LED (LEDPWR) and the BMC Heartbeat LED (LEDBMC) are on, and system fans are spinning.
2. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors Troubleshooting procedure in this chapter.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and are properly installed. See Chapter 2 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 DIMM modules in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of ECC DDR5 modules recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Check for bad DIMM modules 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 Chapter 1 for details on recommended power supplies.
2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies approximately 3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

When the System Becomes Unstable

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

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

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing 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. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the bad HDDs with good ones.
2. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings in the BMC to make sure that the CPU 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. Please 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 USB flash or media drives.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working properly.
3. Using the minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components (starting with add-on cards first), and use the minimum configuration (but with the CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting procedures.

4. Identifying 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.

Note: The option of Enable SNC4 (4-clusters) depends on your system configuration and the processor.

Stale AtoS (A to S)

The in-memory directory has three states: I, A, and S states. The I (-invalid) state indicates that the data is clean and does not exist in the cache of any other sockets. The A (-snoop All) state indicates that the data may exist in another socket in an exclusive or modified state. The S state (-Shared) indicates that the data is clean and may be shared in the caches across one or more sockets. When the system is performing "read" on the memory and if the directory line is in A state, we must snoop all other sockets because another socket may have the line in a modified state. If this is the case, a "snoop" will return the modified data. However, it may be the case that a line "reads" in an A state, and all the snoops come back with a "miss". This can happen if another socket reads the line earlier and then has silently dropped it from its cache without modifying it. If "Stale AtoS" is enabled, a line will transition to the S state when the line in the A state returns only snoop misses. That way, subsequent reads to the line will encounter it in the S state and will not have to snoop, saving the latency and snoop bandwidth. Stale "AtoS" may be beneficial in a workload where there are many cross-socket reads. The options are Disable, Enable, and Auto.
