1-3 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X10SLV/-Q Motherboard. These motherboards have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

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 hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default setting is

Last State

.

Onboard Voltage Monitoring

The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU

Vcore, VBAT, 3VCC, 3VSB, 12V, Chipset 1.05V , VDIMM, PCH Temp, System Temp.

Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. The User can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor by using SD III.

Fan Status Monitor with Software

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero

Doctor III.

1-10


1-4 Power Configuration Settings

This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and power settings.

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.

BIOS Support for USB Keyboard

If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.

Main Switch Override Mechanism

When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user presses the power button, the system will enter a

Soft Off state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.

Pressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake up. During the

SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system "alive." In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard.

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 of 1 GHz and faster.

The X10SLV/-Q Motherboard accommodates 12V ATX power supplies.

Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the

CPU, some are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recommended.

Note:

The X10SLV Motherboard series alternatively supports a 4-pin 12V DC in put power supply for embedded applications.

1-11


1-6 Super I/O

The Super I/O provides five 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 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.

Answer:

The X10SLV/-Q Motherboard supports up to 16GB of unbuffered non-ECC

DDR3 (up to 1600 MHz), two-way interleaved or non-interleaved SODIMM memory.

Question: Why does Microsoft Windows show less memory than what is physically installed?

Answer:

Microsoft implemented a design change in Windows XP with Service

Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specific to the Physical Ad dress Extension (PAE) mode behavior which improves driver compatibility. For more information, please read the following article at Microsoft’s Knowledge

Base website at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888137.

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 web site at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/ . Please check our

3-3


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 and 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>

Notes:

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., X10SLV) and build date as the extension.

For example, "X10SLV0.526".

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 utility 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.

Warning

: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible system boot failure!

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.

B-2 Configuring Supero Doctor III

The Supero Doctor III program is a Web-base management tool that supports remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.

The local management is called the SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

Note 1

: Both default user name and password are ADMIN.

Note 2

: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take precedence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero

Doctor III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the

BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within

Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.

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 softwarebased 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)

An AMIBIOS flash chip consists of a boot sector block and a main BIOS code block

(a main BIOS image). The boot sector block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a new BIOS image if the original BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is on, the boot sector 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 sec tor crashes, you will need to send the motherboard back to Supermicro for RMA repair.

C-3 To Recover the Boot Sector 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


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 PS2 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 Recovery. If you decide to proceed with BIOS Recovery, follow the procedures below.

C-2

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

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.

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.

C-3


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

Note:

Do not interrupt this process

until BIOS flashing is completed.

9. After seeing the message that BIOS update is completed, unplug the AC power 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.
