System Block Diagram

Notes: This is a general block diagram and may not exactly represent the features on your motherboard. See the Motherboard Features pages for the actual specifications of each motherboard. This block diagram is intended for your reference only.

1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and the capabilities of the Intel E5-2600(v2) Series Processors (Socket R LGA 2011) and the PCH-C606/C602 chipset, the X9DRW-3F/X9DRW-iF motherboard provides the performance and feature sets required for dual_processor-based, high-performance WIO platforms.

With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X9DRW-3F/X9DRW-iF motherboard offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with a transfer speed of up to 8.0 GT/s, providing superb system performance.

The PCH C606/C602 chipset provides extensive IO support, including the following functions and capabilities:

• PCI-Express Rev. 2.0 support
• PCI-Express Gen. 3 uplink supported by some SKUs
• ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 3.0b or Rev. 4.0
• USB host interface backplane and front access support
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology supported
• Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) supported
• Intel Trusted Execution Technology supported
- Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Supported
• Digital Media Interface (DMI) supported
• Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supported

Note: For Intel E5-2600(v2) processor support, BIOS version 3.0 or above is required.

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 an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. An voltage monitor will scan the voltages of onboard chips, memory modules, processors, battery, and other critical components continuously. Once 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.

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-defined 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 airflow 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 configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when system temperature, CPU temperature, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.

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 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 configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and Windows 7 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 X9DRW-3F/X9DRW-iF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections (JPW2/JPW3) 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 avoid damaging your motherboard and components, please use a power supply that supports a 24-pin, two 8-pin power and one 4-pin connectors. Be sure to connect the 24-pin and the 8-pin power connectors to your power supply for adequate power delivery to your system. The 4-pin power connector is optional; however, Supermicro recommends that this connector also be plugged in for optimal power delivery.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets 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

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.

1-7 Super I/O

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 an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.

1-8 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.

1-9 Introduction to the IPMI Controller

This motherboard incorporates the Renesas IPMI Controller, which integrates a RISC (Reduced _Instruction_Set_Computing) CPU Core with peripheral capabilities required for a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The Renesas IPMI Controller offers the user a superb solution to manage PC server systems with great efficiency.

The BMC controller supports a 32Kb_instruction cache and a 32Kb_operand cache, which can be switched between write-back and write-through. The instruction cache

offers a 4-way full-associative instruction TBL (Translation Lookaside Buffer) and a 64-way full-associative shared TBL. The memory management unit, which is embedded on the chip, provides access to 4 Gb virtual address space. In addition, this controller also supports 32 Kb on-chip SRAM, allowing for faster access which is especially critical to time-sensitive, high-density/high-performance server platforms.

The BMC supports VGA Graphic Cores for remote video displaying and editing. It also provides a video data compressor for Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) support if keyboard/mouse are installed in the system. With two Ethernet controllers built in, the BMC controller supports USB media hosting, an LPC bus interface, an I²C bus interface, a NAND Flash Timer Interface and serial communication interfaces. The BMC controller offers great system enhancement at a low cost.

BMC Subsystem Features

• CPU speed: 576MHz
• System Memory: 256MB
- Flash Memory: 32MB

- Network connections: Two Gigabit connections (One dedicated LAN connection and one shared LAN with an on-board LAN controller)

- Resolutions:

• Supports 1680 x 1200 resolution at 32 bpp and 75 Hz
• Supports 1680 x 1050 wide screen resolution at 32 bpp and 60 Hz

Note: The term "IPMI controller" and the term "BMC controller" can be used interchangeably in this section.

Other Important Notes and Restrictions

• For the memory modules to work properly, please install DIMM modules of the same type, same speed and same operating frequency on the motherboard. Mixing of RDIMMs, UDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not allowed. Do not install both ECC and Non-ECC memory modules on the same motherboard.
• Using DDR3 DIMMs with different operating frequencies is not allowed. All channels in a system will run at the lowest common frequency.
• Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availability is disproportional. See the table on the next page for details.

2-5 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 motherboard and 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. Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Tools Needed

• Phillips Screwdriver
- Pan head screws (7 pieces)
• Standoffs (7 pieces, if needed)

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 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 motherboard layout pages for jumper locations.

Connector Pins Jumper Cap Setting

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 connection.

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.

Note 3: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that can reboot the system when a software application 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 settings. Watch Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.

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.

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display POST 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, try to turn on the system again with only one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. 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 contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.)

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

5. 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.

Losing the System's Setup Configuration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 1-6 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.

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 @ http://www.supermicro.com.)
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load Reduced (LRDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600/1866 MHz 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.
5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.
6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

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

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and 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: Refer to the product page on our website http://www.supermicro.com for memory and CPU support and updates.

1. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the bad HDDs with good ones.

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, and make sure that the Overheat LED is not on.
