1-3 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 it to automatically return to a power-on state. See
the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is
Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring


This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have
an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control


PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans.
The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management.

Environmental Temperature Control


The thermal control sensor monitors CPU and system temperatures in real time,
and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU or system temperature
exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from
the CPU. Once the thermal sensor detects that the CPU or the system temperature
is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to prevent the CPU or the
system 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 the
Windows OS environment or Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of
certain system events. For example, you can also configure SuperDoctor 5 to
provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages and fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds.

1-5 ACPI Features


ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica-
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including
its 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 64bit operating system.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator


When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink
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.
This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. In addition to using
the 24-pin power supply, the 12V 4-pin power connector located at PJ1 can also
be used as another power source for space-restrainted application.
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 web site 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 supports four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable
baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps

1-12
Chapter 1: Introduction

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

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices


Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com­ponents. To avoid dam-
aging your system board, 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 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 board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

Populating Memory Modules


1. Install the desired number of SO-DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
JDIMM1, then JDIMM2. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the
module to prevent incorrect DIMM module installation.

2. Insert each SO-DIMM module at the proper angle and snap it into place. Repeat
step 1 to install JDIMM2. See the section below for more details on SO-DIMM
memory installation.

Note: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of mem-


ory that remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB
of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availability is disproportional.

2-7 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
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.
Note: On two-pin jumpers,
"Closed" means the jumper is on,
and "Open" means the jumper is
off the pins.

Audio Enable (JPAC1) Audio Enable/Disable

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 connec-
tion. 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.

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
hardware components.

Before Power On
1. Make sure that the Standby PWR LED is not on. (Note: If it is on, the
onboard power is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or
removing the components.)

2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and
chassis.

3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for
the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

4. Properly install a heatsink as needed, and then connect the chassis speaker
and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper settings as well.

No Power
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and
chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check if 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 make sure that it still
supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3-1
X10SBA/-L/-V User’s Manual

No Video
1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-
move all the add-on cards and cables first.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A
for details on beep codes.)

3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on,
check the specifications of memory modules, reset the memory or try a differ-
ent one.)

Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in
the slots.

2. You should be using SO-DIMM Non-ECC DDR3L (Low Voltage) memory of up


to 1333 MHz memory recommended by the manufacturer. Also, it is recom-
mended that you use the memory modules of the same type and speed for all
DIMMs in the system. Do not use memory modules of different sizes, different
speeds and different types on the same motherboard.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to
see if you can locate the faulty ones.

4. Check the switch of 115V/230V power supply.

Losing the System’s Setup Configuration


1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-
ply may cause the system to lose 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 sup-
plies ~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.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3-2 Technical Support Procedures


Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all
the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro
does 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 go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked
Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website
(http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Sup-
port.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-


cro.com/support/bios/).

Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed. Some cannot be flashed; it depends
on the boot block code of the BIOS.

3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still
cannot resolve the problem, then contact Supermicro's technical support and
provide them with the following information:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number


• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your

X10SBA/-L/-V User’s Manual

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions


Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The X10SBA/-L/-V supports unbuffered Non-ECC DDR3L Low Voltage
SO-DIMM (1.35V, of up to 1333 MHz). See Section 2-4 for details on installing
memory.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: We do NOT recommend that you 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/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS
warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web
site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM file to your
computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than
your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip file or the .exe file. If you
choose the zipped BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable device or
a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch file named "ami.bat" with
the new BIOS ROM file from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive. Use
the following format:
F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-filename.xxx <Enter>
Note: Always use the file named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert
a space between "ami.bat" and the filename. The BIOS-ROM-filename
will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X10SBA/-L/-V) and build version as
the extension. For example, "X10SBA.115". When completed, your system
will automatically reboot.

If you choose the .exe file, please run the .exe file under Windows to create
the BIOS flash floppy disk. Insert the floppy disk into the system you wish
to flash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the floppy disk. The BIOS util-
ity will automatically flash the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that
this process may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if
the screen is paused for a few minutes.

When the BIOS flashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and
will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS
defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to
load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system
will then reboot.

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

Chapter 4

UEFI BIOS

4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X10SBA (-F). The ROM
BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter de-
scribes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS setup utility screens.
Note: For AMI BIOS recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery
Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility


To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The AMI BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. 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:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <Esc>, arrow
keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Configuration Data


The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS setup utility. This setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

Appendix A: POST Error Beep Codes

Appendix A

BIOS Error 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
with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to boot up. If a fatal error oc-
curs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the
corresponding error.

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

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) specification 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 up the system. UEFI offers a clean, hand-off control to
a computer system at bootup.

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


BIOS Block)
A UEF BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, which consists of two
boot blocks 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 block crashes. However, when the BIOS Boot block
crashes, you will need to follow the procedures in Appendix A.

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.

C-1
X10SBA/-L/-V User’s Manual

To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instruc-
tions below.
1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into the
disc Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.

Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your driver disk, visit our
website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB
flash device and rename it to "Super ROM" for BIOS recovery use.

2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into
your USB drive and power on the system

3. While powering on the system, keep pressing <Ctrl> and <Home> simultane-
ously on your keyboard until your hear two short beeps. This may take from a
few seconds to one minute.

4. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS
Recovery menu as shown below.

Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start with BIOS Recov-
ery. If you decide to proceed with BIOS Recovery, follow the procedures
below.

5. When the screen as shown above displays, using the arrow key, select the
item- "Proceed with flash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the
progress of BIOS Recovery as shown in the screen below.

Note: Do not interrupt the process of BIOS flashing until it is com-


pleted.

C-2
Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

6. After the process of BIOS Recovery is complete, press any key to reboot the
system.

7. Using a different system, extract the BIOS package into a bootable USB flash
drive.

8. When a DOS prompt appears, enter AMI.BAT BIOSname.### at the prompt.

Note: Do not interrupt this process until BIOS flashing is completed.

X10SBA/-L/-V User’s Manual

9. After seeing the message that BIOS update is completed, unplug the AC pow-
er cable from the power supply to clear CMOS, and then plug the AC power
cable in the power supply again to power on the system.

10. Press <Del> continuously to enter the BIOS Setup utility.

11. Press <F3> to load default settings.

12. After loading default settings, press <F4> to save the settings and exit the
BIOS Setup utility.

Appendix D: Dual Boot Block

Appendix D

Dual Boot Block

D-1 Introduction
This motherboard supports the Dual Boot Block feature, which is the last-ditch
mechanism to recover the BIOS boot block. This section provides an introduction
to the feature.

BIOS Boot Block


A BIOS boot block is the minimum BIOS loader required to enable necessary
hardware components for the BIOS crisis recovery flash that will update the main
BIOS block. An on-call BIOS boot-block corruption may occur due to a software
tool issue (see image below) or an unexpected power outage during BIOS updates.

BIOS Boot Block Corruption Occurrence


When a BIOS boot block is corrupted due to an unexpected power outage or a
software tool malfunctioning during BIOS updates, you can still reboot the system
by closing pins 2 and 3 using a cap on Jumper JBR1. When JBR1 is set to pins
2 and 3, the system will boot from a backup boot block pre-loaded in the BIOS by
the manufacturer.

D-1
X10SBA/-L/-V User’s Manual

D-2 Steps to Reboot the System by Using Jumper


JBR1
1. Power down the system.

2. Close pins 2-3 on Jumper JBR1, and power on the system.

3. Follow the BIOS recovery SOP listed in the previous chapter (Appendix C).

4. After completing the steps above, power down the system.

5. Close pins 1-2 on Jumper JBR1, and power on the system.
