Chapter 1: Introduction

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 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors


An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, CPU,
and battery 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.

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 monitor 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 user-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.

System Resource Alert


This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5® in the Windows OS or in the Linux
environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,
you can configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.

19
Super X11SPL-F User's Manual

1.5 ACPI Features


The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (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 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
the appropriate operating systems.

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 where
noisy power transmission is present.
The X11SPL-F motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most power
supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In
addition, one 12V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure adequate power supply
to the system.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use a
power supply that contains a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector. Be sure to connect
the power supplies to the 24-pin power connector (JPWR2), and the 8-pin power con-
nector (JPWR1) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so may void the manufacturer
warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

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.

1.7 Serial Port


The X11SPL-F motherboard supports two serial communication connections. COM Ports 1
and 2 can be used for input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a 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 high-speed serial communication devices.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices


Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com­ponents. To avoid damaging 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 motherboard 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 motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

2.2 Processor and Heatsink Installation


The processor (CPU) and processor carrier should be assembled together first to form
the processor carrier assembly. This will be attached to the heatsink to form the processor
heatsink module (PHM) before being installed onto the CPU socket.
Notes:
• Use ESD protection.
• Unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies after shutting down the system.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins
are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.

• When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands
(gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage
to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.

• Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.


• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support.
• All graphics in this manual are for illustrations only. Your components may look different.

General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance


• The blue slots must be populated first.
• Only populate DIMMA2 and DIMMD2 if the extra memory support is needed.
• Always use DDR4 memory of the same type, size and speed.
• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed).
However, to achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is
recommended.

2.8 Jumper Settings

How Jumpers Work


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 diagram
below for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to the motherboard layout page for
jumper locations.
Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the
jumper is off the pins.

Connector
Pins

Jumper

3 2 1
Setting

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.

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 non hot-swap hardware components.

Before Power On
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits 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. Install the CPU (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the front panel connectors to
the motherboard.

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

2. Make sure that the ATX power connectors are properly connected.

3. Check that the 115V/230V switch, if available, on the power supply is properly set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system, if applicable.

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.

62
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

No Video
1. If the power is on, but you have no video, remove all add-on cards and cables.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes are present. 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
specs of memory modules, reset the memory or try a different one).

System Boot Failure


If the system does not display Power-On-Self-Test (POST) or does not respond after the
power is turned on, check the following:
1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.

• 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 con-
tacting both pads on the CMOS clear jumper (JBT1). Refer to Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.

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

3. 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
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 are properly
installed. See Chapter 2 for installation instructions. (For memory compatibility, refer
to the "Tested Memory List" link on the motherboard's product page to see a list of
supported memory.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recommended that
you use the same RAM type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.

3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of ECC DDR4 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.

63
Super X11SPL-F User's Manual

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 Chapter 2 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.

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: Click on the "Tested Memory List" link on the motherboard's product page to
see a list of supported memory.

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.

5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power to
the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected. Please refer to our
website for more information on the minimum power requirements.

6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

B. If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the following:
1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working
properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD and CD/DVD-ROM.

2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.

64
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3. Using the minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary


components (starting with add-on cards first), and use the minimum configuration (but
with the 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.

UEFI BIOS

4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the 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, hit 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 the 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>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time
during the setup navigation process.

70
Chapter 4: BIOS

4.2 Main Setup

A.1 BIOS Error POST (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 the boot-up
process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If
a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table
shown below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered
by users.

BIOS Beep (POST) Codes


Beep Code Error Message Description
1 beep Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in system
5 long, 2 short Display memory read/write error Video adapter missing or with faulty memory

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.

126
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.

127
Super X11SPL-F User's 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.

128
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.

8. Press <Del> during system boot to enter the BIOS Setup utility. From the top of the tool
bar, select Boot to enter the submenu. From the submenu list, select Boot Option #1
as shown below. Then, set Boot Option #1 to [UEFI AP:UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell]. Press
<F4> to save the settings and exit the BIOS Setup utility.

129
Super X11SPL-F User's Manual

9. When the UEFI Shell prompt appears, type fs# to change the device directory path. Go
to the directory that contains the BIOS package you extracted earlier in Step 2. Enter
flash.nsh BIOSname#.### at the prompt to start the BIOS update process.

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

10. The screen above indicates that the BIOS update process has completed. Reboot the
system when you see the screen below.
