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 supports system health monitoring. 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 a cooling fan. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled via lPMI 2.0.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors in the BMC 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 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.

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 computer system, including
its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system
to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as 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 Windows 8/R2, and Windows 2012/R2
operating systems.

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. 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
Serial Port
The X10DRT-P/PT/PIBQ/PIBF motherboard supports one serial communication
connection. COM 1 can be used for input/output. The UART 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.

Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the
motherboard.
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the Supermicro Power Manager [SPM] is installed)
The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (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 Management Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for 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 IOH (I/O
Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services
provided by SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
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 motherboard layout pages
for jumper locations.

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.
Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
Note: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Watch Dog Enable/Disable
Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that
can reboot the system when a software application hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset the
system if an application hangs. Close pins
2-3 to generate non-maskable interrupt signals for the application that hangs. See the
table on the right for jumper settings. Watch
Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.

No Video
1. If the power is on, but you do not have 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 installed. 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 the 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 2-7 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.

the following:
1. Installation Devices: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD-ROM.
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 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.

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) 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 the system. The 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 UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block 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 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 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 boot crashes. However, when the BIOS boot block
crashes, you will need to follow the procedures below for BIOS recovery.
C-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USBAttached 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
X10DRT-P/PT/PIBQ/PIBF Motherboard User’s Manual
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.
