X10DBT/X10DBT-T 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) chip
that monitors system health. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following
onboard voltages continuously: +3.3V, 3.3V standby, +5V, +5V standby, +/-12V,
CPU core, memory, chipset, HT, 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 to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The system health monitoring support provided by the BMC controller can check
the RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fan speeds are
controlled by IPMI Thermal Management.
Environmental Temperature Control
A thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn
on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-dened
threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects
that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan
control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry
can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when the chassis
temperature is too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5 in the Windows OS
environment or in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system
Chapter 1: Overview
1-13
events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings
when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go
beyond a predened range.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-
tion denes a exible 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.
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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play
BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent imple-
mentation that is compatible with the latest Windows Operating Systems.
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.
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 X10DBT(-T) motherboard accommodates Supermicro-proprietary power sup-
ply. For adequate cooling, be sure to use the power supply recommended for this
motherboard by Supermicro.
It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid prob-
lems caused by power surges.
1-14
X10DBT/X10DBT-T Motherboard User’s Manual
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 efciency.
Although IPNM Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ment Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
Management Engine (ME)
Management Engine, an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, provides Server
Platform Services (SPS) support to your system. The services provided by SPS are
different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

2-5 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, 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.
Tools Needed
•Phillips Screwdriver
•Pan head screws (15 pieces)
•Standoffs (15 pieces, if needed)
Location of Mounting Holes
There are fteen (15) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.
Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, please do
not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard

2-8 Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, 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 identied
with a square solder pad on the printed
circuit board. See the motherboard layout
pages for jumper locations.
Note: On two pin jumpers,
"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 1. For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 2. Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

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
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 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 Conguration
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 1-7 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 x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your
vendor for repairs.
3-3
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) DDR3 ECC 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.
5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the
instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.
6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
Section 2-4 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-
tings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are
3-4
X10DBT/X10DBT-T Motherboard User’s Manual
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, CD/DVD-
ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and
working properly.
3. Using minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum conguration
(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 nd 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.

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 Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specication provides a software-
based interface between the operating system and the platform rmware in the
pre-boot environment. The UEFI specication 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 (-the Main
BIOS Block)
A UEF BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, comprised of two boot
blocks and 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 ash
a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system
power is on, the boot block codes execute rst. 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. However, when the BIOS boot block
crashes, you will need to follow the procedures in Appendix D.
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 ash 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.

tions below.
1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the
disc Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.
Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your driver disk, visit
our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into
a USB ash 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
