 X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ Motherboard User’s Manual

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

This section describes the features of system health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard BaseBoard Management Controller (BMC) that
supports system health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the follow-
ing onboard voltages continuously: +3.3V, 3.3V Standby, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V,
CPU core, memory, chipset, BMC, and battery voltages. 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 inside the BMC Web GUI to define the sensitivity
of the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

System health monitoring support provided by the BMC controller can check the
RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by
IPMI Thermal Management.

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 tem-
perature 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 airflow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with 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.

1-12
 Chapter 1: Overview

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 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 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 imple-
mentation that is compatible with Windows 8/R2, and Windows 2012/R2 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.
The X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power sup-
plies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by
the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 8-pin power connections are 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 two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to
connect the power supply to the 24-pin power connector (J24), and two 8-pin power
connectors (JPWR1, JPWR2) 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. (For more
information, please refer to the website 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 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by this
motherboard:

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available

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

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, pro-
vides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by
SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

Pins
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, jumpers can be used to choose
between optional settings. Jumpers create
Jumper
shorts between two pins to change the Cap
function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified 3 2 1

with a square solder pad on the printed

circuit board. See the motherboard layout Setting
Pin 1-2 short
pages for jumper locations.
Not e: O n t wo - pin jumper s,
"Closed" means the jumper is
on and "Open" means the jumper
is off the pins.

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 connection.

Note: Please completely shut down the system, 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.
Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing or installing any
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 CPU 1 first (-making sure it is fully seated) and connect the front panel
connectors to the motherboard.

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

2. Make sure that all power connectors are properly connected.

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

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 sup-
plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3-1
 X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ Motherboard User’s Manual

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 Appendix A
for details on beep codes.

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display 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 in-
stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only
one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. 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 contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to the
Jumper Section in Chapter 2.)

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

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 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.

3-2
 Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

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 that
the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,
refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our website @ http://www.
supermicro.com.)

2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-

mended 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 Registered (RDIMM)/Load
Reduced (LRDIMM) ECC DDR4 DIMM modules recommended by the manu-
facturer.

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among
all memory slots and check the results.

5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the
instructions given in Section 2-5 in Chapter 2.

6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
Section 2-5 to install your memory modules.

When the System Becomes Unstable

A. When the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check
the following:

1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and you have the
latest BIOS installed in your system.

2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-
ing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.

Note: Refer to the product page on our website http:\\www.supermicro.

com for memory and CPU support and updates.

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

4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans,
and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set-

3-3
 X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ Motherboard User’s Manual

tings 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 the Overheat LED 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 minimum power require-
ment.

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

B. When 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 disc.

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

3. Using minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary

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

4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a compo-

nent 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 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, hands-off control
to a computer system at bootup.

C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image

A UEF BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, comprised of 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 that 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 boot crashes.

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.
The file system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32)
installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS

C-1
 X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ Motherboard User’s Manual

might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size be-
comes too large because it contains too many folders and files.

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 "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.

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 completed.

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

C-3
 X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ Motherboard User’s Manual

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.

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.
