1.2 Processor Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® Atom SoC series processor, the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms. The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN drastically increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.

The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN supports the following features:

• Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
• Video Connectors: VGA, HDMI, and LVDS
• USB3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (Only supported on X11SAN and A2SAN-H)
• Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
- Mini-PCI-E slot with PCIe Gen2 x1 with transfer rates of up to 5Gb/s
- Gen3 SATA ports with transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0
• M.2 slot with B-key 2280/2242/3042 module is supported by an extender bracket
• Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
- Intel® Identity Protection Technology

- TPM2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) onboard with Disable/Enable jumper (not supported on A2SAN-L)

1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health monitoring.

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.

Note: Before setting the Recovery from AC Power Loss function in the BIOS, please adjust force power on jumper JPF1 to pins 2-3 to disable the force power-on function.

1.4 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 Windows® 10.

1.5 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. In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter 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.

1.6 Super I/O

The Super I/O (NCT6106D chip) provides four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART includes a 128 byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption. The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be flexibly adjusted to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).

1.7 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.

Management Engine (ME)

Intel Atom SoC only supports the TXE function, also called CSE (Converged Security Engine), which is the lite ME function.

Installation

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to 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 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 that your chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specified by the manufacturer. Do not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in a 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.

2.7 Jumper Settings

How Jumpers Work

To modify the operation of the motherboard, 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 diagram below for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.

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. Check that the power LED on the motherboard is on.
2. Make sure that the power connector is connected to your power supply.
3. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis.
4. Disconnect all cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and mouse.
5. Remove all add-on cards.
6. Install a heatsink and connect the power to the motherboard. Make sure that the heatsink is fully seated. Check all jumper settings as well.
7. Use the correct type of CMOS battery (CR2032) as recommended by the manufacturer.

No Power

1. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chassis.
2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Check that 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 verify that it still supplies \~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

No Video

1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A for details on beep codes.

Note: If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to Appendix B.

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. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.

2. If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules installed. If there is still no error beep, replace the motherboard.

3. If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and removing the battery from BT1, then short pins 1 and 2 for more than 10 seconds and install the battery into BT1.

4. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make sure that system power is on and that memory error beeps are activated.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. Confirm that you are using the correct memory. Also, it is recommended that you use the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2.4 for memory details.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting the results.
4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

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 Section 1.5 for details on recommended power supplies.
2. The battery on your motherboard 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.

When the System Becomes Unstable

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

1. 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 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. Heatsink: Check that the heatsink is installed properly.
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.

B. If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the following:

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD and CD/DVD-ROM.
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 a 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.

3.2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that as a motherboard manufacturer, we do not sell directly to end-users, so it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s) with the specific system configuration that was sold to you.

1. Please review the 'Troubleshooting Procedures' and 'Frequently Asked Questions' (FAQs) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/FAQ/index.php before contacting Technical Support.
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at http://www.supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html. Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed depending on the modifications to the boot block code.

3.3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard supports up to 8GB of DDR3L 1333/1600/1866MHz Non-ECC SO-DIMM. See Section 2.3 for details on installing memory.

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 files are located on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html. Please 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.

Follow the steps below to update the BIOS:

1. Save this BIOS update package to your computer.
2. Extract the files to a USB stick. The USB stick doesn't have to be bootable, but it has to be formatted with the FAT/FAT32 file system.

3. Plug the USB stick into a USB port, boot to the Build-In UEFI Shell, and type FLASH. nsh BIOSname#.### to start the BIOS update:

4. Shell> fs0:

5. fs0:> flash.nsh A2SAN#.###

6. Do not interrupt the process until the BIOS update is complete.

7. When a message indicates that the BIOS update is complete, do the A/C power cycle.
8. Go to the BIOS setup screen and press F3 to load the default and then press F4 to save and exit.

Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?

Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.

BIOS Codes

A.1 BIOS Error POST (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 the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.

BIOS Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error	Message Description
1 beep Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in system
5 long, 2 short Display memory read/write error Video adapter missing or with faulty memory
1 long continuous System OH System overheat condition

A.2 Additional BIOS POST Codes

The AMI BIOS supplies additional checkpoint codes, which are documented online at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ ("AMI BIOS POST Codes User's Guide").

When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port 0080h. If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h.

For information on AMI updates, please refer to http://www.ami.com/products/.
