Chapter 1: Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and the capability of the 7520 Lindenhurst chipset, the X6DHP-TG motherboard provides the performance and feature set required for dual processor-based servers, with configuration options optimized for communications, presentation, storage, computation or database applications. The Intel E7520 (Lindenhurst) chipset consists of the following components: the Lindenhurst Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the

ICH5R I/O Controller Hub, and the Intel PCI-X Hub (PXH).

The E7520 MCH supports single or dual Xeon EMT64 (Nocona) processors with Front Side Bus speeds of 800 MHz. Its memory controller provides direct connection to two channels of registered DDR-II 400 with a marched system bus address and data bandwidths. The E7520 also supports the new PCI high speed serial I/O interface for superior I/O bandwidth. The

MCH interfaces with the ICH5R I/O Controller Hub (ICH5R) via a dedicated

Hub Interface. The PXH provides connection between a PCI interface and two independent PCI bus interfaces that can be configured for standard PCI

-X 1.0 protocol.

ICH5R System Features

In addition to providing the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system, the ICH5R I/O Controller Hub integrates many I/O functions.

The ICH5R I/O Controller Hub integrates: 2-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE Controller, two Serial ATA (SATA) Host w/RAID0, RAID1 support,

SMBus 2.0 Controller, LPC/Flash BIOS Interface, PCI 2.2 Interface and System Management Controller.

1-9

X6DHP-TG User's Manual

1-3 Special Features

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 poweron state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup section (within "Boot Features") to change this setting. The default setting is Always Off.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER

X6DHP-TG. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset

Voltage, Memory Voltage, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V and +3V standby .

An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. When you use Supero Doctor II or Supero Doctor III, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen if a voltage becomes unstable. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor via SDIII.

Fan Status Monitor with Speed Control

by BIOS

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

BIOS.

CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode

The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It continues to operate when the system enters Standby mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not run at full power, thereby generating less heat.

1-10

Chapter 1: Introduction

CPU Overheat LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. When this temperature is exceeded, both the overheat fan and the warning LED are triggered.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows

OS environment. SDIII is used to notify the user of certain system events.

For example, if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insufficient hard drive space for saving the data, you can be alerted of the potential problem.

Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core

The auto-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to

20A current and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 0.83V to 1.63V. This will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.

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 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. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI 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 both Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows NT 5.0.

1-11

X6DHP-TG User's Manual

Microsoft OnNow

The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other requests.

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.

Main Switch Override Mechanism

When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system suspend button to make the system enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing 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 depress and hold the power button for

4 seconds. This option can be set in the Power section of the BIOS Setup routine.

External Modem Ring-On

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.

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 SUPER X6DHP-TG accommodates ATX 24-pin power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. You should use one that will supply at least

200W of power. Your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. In addition, you should also use the onboard 12V 8-pin power

1-12

Chapter 1: Introduction connector (JPW2) to support Intel Xeon CPUs. Failure to provide this extra power will result in instability of the CPU after a few minutes of operation.

See Section 2-5 for details on connecting the power supply.

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 (info 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 disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports

(UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. 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 supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional

Printer Port (BPP) , Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or Extended Capabilities

Port (ECP).

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.

The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can flexibly adjust to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electric-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to 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 upside down battery to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.

When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

X6DHP-TG User's Manual

2-2 Xeon EM64T (Nocona) Processor and Heatsink

Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct

pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the motherboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the

BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heat sink.

1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket: lift the lever completely as shown on the picture on the right; otherwise, you will damage the

CPU socket when you turn on the

power. (Install CPU1 first.)

Socket lever

2. Insert the CPU in the socket and make sure that pin 1 of the CPU aligns with pin 1 of the socket (pin

1 is the corner marked with a triangle). When using only one

CPU, install it into CPU socket #1

(socket #2 is automatically disabled if only one CPU is used).

Pin 1

3. Press the lever down until you hear a click to make sure that the CPU is securely installed in the CPU socket.

CEK Heatsink Installation

(The CEK Heatsink is heavy; please handle with care.)

1. Do not apply any thermal compound to the heatsink or the CPU die-the required amount has already been applied.

Screw#1

Screw#2

2. Place the heatsink on top of the

CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the retention mechanism.

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (ie the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (-do not fully tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

X6DHP-TG User's Manual

To Un-install the Heatsink

(Caution! We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However, if you do need to un-install the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to uninstall the heatsink to prevent damage done to the CPU or the CPU socket. )

1 . U n s c r e w a n d r e m o v e t h e h e a t s i n k screws from the motherboard in the sequence as show in the picture on the right.

2. Hold the heatsink as show in the picture on the right and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)

3. Once the CPU is loosened, remove the heatsink from the CPU socket.

4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the h e a t s i n k t o g e t r i d o f t h e o l d t h e r m a l grease. Re-apply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you re-install the CPU and the heatsink.

Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all 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. Then, use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray. (*Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to prevent damage done to these components when you install the motherboard to the chassis.)

X6DHP-TG User's Manual

2-3 Installing DIMMs

(*

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules: http://www.supermicro.com/TECHSUPPORT/FAQs/Memory_vendors.htm)

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).

DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2 on Page 2-7)

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with

Bank 1. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at a time, beginning with Bank 1, then Bank 2, and so on.

2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.

3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

Memory Support

The X6DHP-TG supports up to 12 GB DDR-333 (PC 2700) or up to 24 GB

DDR-266 (PC 2100) Registered ECC memory. All motherboards were designed to support 216 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB modules in each slot, but has only been verified for up to 2 GB modules. In order to support up to 6 DIMMs, single Rank memory must used; otherwise, it can only support up to 4 DIMMs.

2-6

Chapter 2: Installation

To Install:

Insert module vertically and press down until it snaps into place.

Pay attention to the alignment notch at the bottom.

Explanation of

Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be u s e d t o c h o o s e b e t w e e n o p t i o n a l s e t t i n g s . J u m p e r s create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified w i t h a s q u a r e s o l d e r p a d o n the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout pages for jumper locations.

N o t e : O n t w o p i n j u m p e r s ,

"Closed" means the jumper is o n a n d " O p e n " m e a n s t h e jumper is off the pins.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads to prevent the 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: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

Unit Identification

A Unit Identification Indicator

(UID) is located above SCSI Channel

B Connector. Use this indicator for easy identification of the system when needed. While servicing the system, if you find you need to work on the other side of the unit, push the

UID button (located on the far left of the control panel on the front and to the right of the VGA port on the rear of the chassis) to illuminate an LED on the other side of the chassis.

When you walk around to the other side of the rack, the unit will then be easy to spot. The LED will remain on until the UID button is pushed again.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

Chapter 3: 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.

Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing or installing any hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that there is not any short circuit between the motherboard and chassis.

2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and mouse.

3. Remove all add-on cards.

4. Properly install the CPU and make sure that the CPU is fully seated in the socket. Connect the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. (Check all jumper settings as well.)

5. Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as recommended by the Manufacturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

No Power

1. Make sure that there is not any short circuit 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 the

Appendix for details on beep codes.

3-1

X6DHP-TG User's Manual

NOTE

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

App. B.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.

2. Determine if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed and verify that the BIOS setup is configured for the fastest speed of RAM used.

It is recommended to use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.

3. Make sure you are using the correct type of Registered ECC DDR 266/

333 (PC 2100/PC2700) SDRAM (*Please refer to Page 2-5 for the instruction on DDR 266/333 DIMM population and installation.)

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module between two slots and noting the results.

5. Make sure all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. As an interleaved memory scheme is used, you must install two modules at a time, beginning with Bank 1, then Bank 2, and so on (see Section 2-3).

6. Check the position of the 115V/230V switch on the power supply.

Losing the System’s Setup Configuration

1. Ensure 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 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.

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Super Micro 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.

3-2

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently

Asked Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our web site (

http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/

) before contacting Technical Support.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at

(http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/ ).

Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed depending on the modifications to the boot block code.

3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when contacting Super Micro for technical support:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number

• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your system first boots up)

•System configuration

Question: What are the various types of memory that my motherboard can support?

Answer: The X6DHP-TG has eight 184-pin DIMM slots that support registered ECC DDR 333/266 SDRAM modules. It is strongly recommended that you do not mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. (*In order to support 6 DIMMs, single rank memory modules must be used.)

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are experiencing no problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com. Please check our BIOS warning message and the info on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your BIOS before downloading. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS file to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the phlash.exe (BIOS flash utility), the platform.bin (platform file) and the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files. Copy

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X6DHP-TG.

The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based 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 t o t h e M a n u a l D o w n l o a d a r e a o f t h e S u p e r m i c r o w e b s i t e

<http://www.supermicro.com> for any changes to BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.

System BIOS

The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM ® PC, XT™, AT ® , and PS/2 ® compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS flash chip stores the system parameters, such type of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the

CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the computer is powered-on the computer is configured with the values stored in the BIOS

ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot-up.

How To Change the Configuration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the <Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot, see below.

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 4-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Appendix A

BIOS POST Codes

This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the Phoenix BIOS. POST codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.

Recoverable POST Errors

When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, the BIOS will display an POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the following beep codes:

1 long and two short beeps - video configuration error

1 repetitive long beep - no memory detected

Terminal POST Errors

If a terminal type of error occurs, BIOS will shut down the system. Before doing so, BIOS will write the error to port 80h, attempt to initialize video and write the error in the top left corner of the screen.

* If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, “2C

0002” means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020" means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. The BIOS also sends the bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It first displays the checkpoint code, followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the loworder byte of the error.

It repeats this sequence continuously.

Appendix B

Software Installation

After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure the

Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA RAID Driver before you install the

Windows operating system. The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro bootable CDs that came packaged with your motherboard.

(For Adaptec's SCSI Host RAID Utility, please refer to the CDs that came with your motherboard.)

B-1 Adaptec Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver

Serial ATA (SATA)

Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with a minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. SATA is a serial link which supports transfer rates from 150

MBps. Because the serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA (PATA), SATA systems have better airflow and can be installed in smaller chassis than Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40cm long, while SATA cables can extend up to one meter. Overall, SATA provides better functionality than

PATA.

B-1

X6DHP-TG Manual

Adaptec Embedded SATA with HostRAID Controller

Driver

Adaptec's Embedded Serial ATA RAID with HostRAID controller adds

RAID functionality to the Serial ATA I/O controller by supporting RAID 0

(Striping) or RAID 1 (Mirroring) to enhance the industry's pioneer PCI-toe host controller products. RAID striping (RAID 0) can greatly improve hard disk I/O performance because of its capability in striping data across multiple drives. RAID mirroring (RAID 1) allows the data to be simultaneously written to two drives, so critical data is always available even if one hard disk fails.

Due to this built-in functionality, your Supermicro motherboard is specially designed to keep pace with the increasing performance demands of today's computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and providing data accessibility regardless of a single disk failure. By incorporating

Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA into the motherboard design, Supermicro offers the user the benefits of SATA RAID without the high costs associated with RAID hardware.

Note: For Adaptec's RAID Driver Installation Instructions, please refer to the Adaptec RAID Controller User's Guide: "Emb_SA_RAID_UG.pdf", which is located in the CD that came with this motherboard. You can also download a copy of Adaptec's User's Guide from our web site at www.supermicro.com.
