 Chapter 1: Introduction

1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the motherboard. The motherboard
has an onboard ASPEED AST 2500 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) 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.

1.4 System Health Monitoring

This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11DPH-i/T(q) motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports
system health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitors

The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the IPMI WebGUI and
IPMIView. Real time readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in the BIOS.

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 lPMI.

Environmental Temperature Control

System Health sensors in the BMC monitor the temperatures and voltage settings of onboard
processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the temperature of
the CPU or the system exceeds a manufacturer-defined threshold, system/CPU cooling fans
will be turned on to prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate air-
flow to your system.

19
Super X11DPH-i/X11DPH-T/X11DPH-Tq User's Manual

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Supermicro® SuperDoctor 5. SuperDoctor 5 is used
to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor 5 to
provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, 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 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 on OS support, please refer
to our website at www.supermicro.com.

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. It is
recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused
by power surges.

1.7 Advanced Power Management

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

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)

Intel's Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal
control and power management for maximum energy efficiency. IPNM is available when the
Supermicro Power Manager (SPM) is installed. Although IPNM Specification Version 2.0 or
3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also
have the IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM 2.0/3.0 is dependent on the power supply used in the system.

20
 Chapter 1: Introduction

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O Hub), provides
Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by SPS are different
from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

1.8 Intel® QuickAssist Technology (For the X11DPH-Tq

only)
This X11DPH-T(q) supports Intel QuickAssist Technolog (QAT) that offers a software-based
platform for data compression, security, and authentication. These features greatly enhance

2.4 Memory Support and Installation

Note: Check Supermicro's website for recommended memory modules. Exercise ex-
treme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any damage.
Memory Support
The motherboard supports up to 4TB of 3DS Load Reduced DIMM (3DS LRDIMM), Load
Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), 3DS Registered DIMM (3DS RDIMM), Registered DIMM (RDIMM),
Non-Volatile DIMM (NV-DIMM) DDR4 (288-pin) ECC 2933*/2666/2400/2133 MHz memory
in 16 slots (*Note below). This motherboard also supports up to 5TB memory with DCPMM
modules installed based on the DCPMM population table on page 38.
Notes: 1. 2933 MHz memory is supported by 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable-SP
(82xx/62xx series) processors only. 2. Populating DDR4 memory modules in a two-
DIMMs per-channel (2DPC) configuration on this motherboard will affect memory
bandwidth and performance.

Memory Installation Sequence

Memory modules for this motherboard are populated using the "Fill First" method. The blue
memory slot of each channel is considered the "first DIMM module" of the channel, and the
black slot, the second module of the channel. When installing memory modules, be sure to
populate the blue memory slots first and then populate the black slots.

General Memory Population Requirements

1. Be sure to use the memory modules of the same type and the same speed on the same
motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.

2. Using unbalanced memory topology such as populating two DIMMs in one channel while
populating one DIMM in another channel on the same motherboard will result in reduced
memory performance.

3. Populating memory slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size will
result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.

• For each individual population, rearrangements between channels are allowed as long as the resulting population is
compliant with the X11 memory population rules for the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable-SP processors.
• For each individual population, please use the same DDR4 DIMM in all slots.
• For each individual population, sockets are normally symmetric with exceptions for 1 DCPMM per socket and 1 DCPMM
per node case. Currently, DCPMM modules operate at 2666 MHz.
• No mixing of DCPMM and NVMDIMMs within the same platform is allowed.
• These DCPMM population tables target a balanced DCPMM-to-DRAM-cache ratio in MM and MM + AD modes.

A Unit Identifier (UID) switch and a rear UID LED (LE1) are located on the I/O back panel.
A front UID switch is located on pins 7 & 8 of the front panel control (JF1). When you press
the front or the rear UID switch, both front and rear UID LEDs will be turned on. Press the
UID switch again to turn off the LED indicators. The UID indicators provide easy identification
of a system that may be in need of service. (Note: UID can also be triggered via IPMI on
the motherboard. For more information, please refer to the IPMI User's Guide posted on our
website at http://www.supermicro.com.)

Onboard Fan Header

Eight 4-pin fan headers (FAN1-6, FANA, FANB) are located on the motherboard to provide
CPU/system cooling. These fan headers support both 3-pin fans and 4-pin fans; however,
onboard fan speed control is available only when all 4-pin fans are used in the motherboard.
Fan speed control is supported by a thermal management setting in the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller). See the table below for pin definitions.

TPM Header
The JTPM1 header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)/Port 80, which
is available from Supermicro. A TPM/Port 80 connector is a security device that supports
encryption and authentication in hard drives. It allows the motherboard to deny access if the
TPM that is associated with the hard drive is not installed in the system. See the layout below
for the location of the TPM header.

Speaker Header (Optional for an External Speaker/Buzzer)

A speaker header, located at JD1, can be used in conjunction with an external speaker
(optional). Use an appropriate cable to connect this header to an external speaker or buzzer
for support of BIOS beep codes and system alarms. See the layout below for JD1 location.

I-SATA 3.0 and S-SATA 3.0 Ports

This motherboard has ten SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0-3, 4-7) and S-SATA0/S-SATA1. These
SATA ports are supported by the Intel C621/C622/C627 chipset. S-SATA1/2 can be used with
Supermicro SuperDOMs, which are yellow SATA DOM connectors with power pins built in,
and do not require external power cables. Supermicro SuperDOMs are backward-compatible
with regular SATA HDDs or SATA DOMs that need external power cables.

2.8 Jumper Settings

How Jumpers Work

To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be 3 2 1

used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create Connector

Pins

shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector.

Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit
Jumper
board. See the diagram at right for an example of jumping
pins 1 and 2. Refer to the motherboard layout page for jumper 3 2 1

locations. Setting

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is

on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.

Manufacturing Mode Select

Close JPME2 to bypass SPI flash security and force the system to use Manufacturing Mode,
which will allow you to flash the system firmware from a host server to modify system settings.
See the table below for jumper settings.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS, which will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins, this jumper
consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.
To Clear CMOS
1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).

2. Remove the cover of the chassis to access the motherboard.

3. Remove the onboard battery from the motherboard.

4. Short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver for at least four
seconds.

5. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

6. Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord(s), and power on the system.

Note: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

properly, please connect an optional external speaker/buzzer to the onboard speaker
header located at JD1.) Refer to Appendix A for details on beep codes.

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:
3. Check for any error beep from the motherboard. (For error beep codes to function
properly, please connect an optional external speaker/buzzer to the onboard speaker
header located at JD1.)

• 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.
• If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and
contacting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). Refer to chapter 2.
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.

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.

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

 Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

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 1.6 for
more information on power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. If it is too old, 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. 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: Refer to the product page on our website at http:\\www.supermicro.com for

memory and CPU support and updates.

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

4. 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 IPMI
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. 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.

3.4 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: This motherboard supports up 4TB of 3DS Load Reduced DIMM (3DS LRDIMM),
Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), 3DS Registered DIMM (3DS RDIMM), Registered DIMM
(RDIMM), Non-Volatile DIMM (NV-DIMM) DDR4 (288-pin) ECC 2933*/2666/2400/2133 MHz
memory in 16 slots (*Note below.) See Section 2.4 for details on installing memory.
Note: 2933 MHz memory is supported by the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable-SP
(82xx/62xx series) processors only.

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 is in 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.

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. Please refer
to the following section for the instructions on how to update your BIOS under UEFI Shell.
Note: The SPI BIOS chip used on this motherboard cannot be removed. Send your
motherboard back to our RMA Department at Supermicro for repair. For BIOS Recovery
instructions, please refer to the AMI BIOS Recovery Instructions posted at http://www.

UEFI BIOS

4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ setup utility for the X11DPH-i/X11DPH-T/X11DPH-Tq
motherboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a flash program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added
or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual
Download area of our website for any changes to the BIOS that may not be reflected
in this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS setup utility, press the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up. (In
most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the 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 Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or
change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in Bold are the default values.
A "" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key will
open the list of settings within that submenu.
The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these
hot keys (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at
any time during the setup navigation process.

Local/Remote Threshold
This feature allows the user to set the threshold for the Interrupt Request (IRQ) signals,
which handle hardware interruptions. The options are Disable, Auto, Low, Medium, and

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 the "Stale AtoS"
feature 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.

BIOS Codes

A.1 BIOS Error POST (Beep) Codes

Note: For BIOS beep codes to work properly, please connect an optional external
speaker to the speaker/buzzer header located at JD1. Please refer to Chapter 2 for
more information on JD1.

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) process, which is performed each time the system is
powered on, system errors may be detected.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue with the boot-
up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue with bootup. If a fatal error
occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
The fatal errors are usually communicated through repeated patterns of audible beeps. Each
pattern of audible beeps listed below corresponds to its respective error.

BIOS Beep (POST) Codes

Beep Code Error Message Description
1 beep Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
1 long continuous System Overheat System overheat
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in system

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 (Supermicro p/n AOC-LPC80-20).

Appendix D

UEFI BIOS Recovery

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.

D.1 Overview
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 that will allow the UEFI
OS loader stored in an external storage device to boot the system. The UEFI offers clean,
hands-off management to a computer during system boot.

D.2 Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image

A UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main
BIOS image). The recovery block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection
and recovery codes for the user to flash a healthy BIOS image if the original main BIOS image
is corrupted. When the system power is turned on, the recovery block codes execute first.
Once this process is complete, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization
and the remaining POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines.
Note 1: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions in Section D.3 for BIOS recovery when
the main BIOS block crashes.

Note 2: If the recovery instructions in Section D.3 for BIOS recovery fail, you may use
the Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) Out-of-Band (OOB) (https://www.supermicro.
com.tw/products/nfo/SMS_SUM.cfm) to reflash the BIOS.

Note 3: If the recovery block processes stated in Note 1 and Note 2 above fail, you will
need to follow the procedures to make a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA)
request. Refer to Section 3.5 for more information about the RMA request.

148
 Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery

D.3 Recovering the Main BIOS Block with a USB Device

This feature allows the user to recover the main 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 the recovery block is
FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) which is installed on a bootable or non-bootable
USB-attached device.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.
1. Please use a different machine to download the BIOS package for your motherboard or
your system from the product page available on our website at www.supermicro.com.

2. Extract the BIOS package to a USB device and rename the BIOS ROM file
[BIOSname#.###] that is included in the BIOS package to SUPER.ROM for BIOS
recovery use.

3. Copy the SUPER.ROM file into the Root "\" directory of the USB device.

Note: Before recovering the main BIOS image, confirm that the SUPER.ROM file you
have is the same version or a close version meant for your motherboard.

4. Insert the USB device that contains the SUPER.ROM file into the system before you
power on the system or when the following screen appears.

149
Super X11DPH-i/X11DPH-T/X11DPH-Tq User Manual

5. After locating the SUPER.ROM file, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery menu as
shown below.

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

6. When the screen as shown above displays, use the arrow keys to select the item
"Proceed with flash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the BIOS recovery
progress as shown in the screen below.

Note: Do not interrupt the BIOS flashing process until it is complete.

150
 Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery

7. After the BIOS recovery process is complete, press any key to reboot the system.

Note: It is recommended that you update your BIOS after BIOS recovery. Please refer
to Chapter 3 for BIOS update instructions.

Appendix G

Configuring iSCSI Settings

Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) is a protocol that defines how block-level
data transports between the iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target over an Internet protocol (IP)
network. The iSCSI initiator (client/host) enables a connection to the iSCSI target and initiates
I/O requests. The iSCSI target can be a group of storage devices or an intermediate device
attached to storage devices. The iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target must connect to an IP
network. To have iSCSI settings available, refer to instructions stated in the G.1 section. The
G.2 section explains iSCSI settings.
