1-3 Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

Basic I/O System (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 press the power

switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See

the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is

Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an

onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An

onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU Vcore,

12V, -12V, 5V, 3.3V, 3.3VSB, memory 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans.

The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via

IPMI Firmware.

Environmental Temperature Control

The 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-dened

threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the ther-

mal sensor detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn

on the thermal fans 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 airow to your system.

1-12

X10SLH-LN6TF User’s Manual

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor® 5 in the

Windows OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor

is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also

congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,

CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened thresholds.

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-

tion denes 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 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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and

Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent

implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008

Operating Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink

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.

This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most

power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are

inadequate. In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connector located at JPW2 is also

required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply

must supply at least 3A +5STBY for the Ethernet ports.

Warning: 1. To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a

power supply that contains a 24-pin and a 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect

these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-13

motherboard. Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power

supply and motherboard. 2. To provide adequate power to SATA devices, please con-

nect the SATA DOM PWR connector (JSD1) to the power supply.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX

power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more

information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in

areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line

lter 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 Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication

ports (UARTs). 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 provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration

and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-

ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management

to reduce power consumption.

1-8 Advanced Power Management

The following advanced power management features are supported by this moth-

erboard:

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available

when the NMView utility is installed in the system)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with

real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.

Although IPNM Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-

ability Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.

Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Version 2.0 depends

on the power supply used in the system.

CPU or the heatsink be removed. However, if

you do need to remove the heatsink, please

follow the instructions below to prevent dam-

age to the CPU or other components.

Active Heatsink Removal

1. Unplug the power cord from the

power supply.

2. Disconnect the heatsink fan wires

from the CPU fan header.

3. Use your nger tips to gently press

on the fastener cap and turn it

counterclockwise to make a 1/4 (900)

turn, and pull the fastener upward to

loosen it.

4. Repeat Step 3 to loosen all fasteners

from the mounting holes.

5. With all fasteners loosened, remove

the heatsink from the CPU.

Unplug the

PWR cord

Pull Up

For the 1U passive heat sink, ask for SNK-P0046P (back plate is included),

for the 2U active heat sink, SNK-P0046A4.

2-5 Installing DDR3 Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory mod-

ules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM

modules to prevent any possible damage.

DIMM Installation

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs

into the memory slots, starting with

DIMMA2 (Channel A, Slot 2, see

the next page for the location). For

the system to work properly, please

use the memory modules of the

same type and speed in the same

motherboard.

Release Tabs

Notches

2. Push the release tabs outwards on

both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock

it.

Press both notches

straight down into

the memory slot.

3. Align the key of the DIMM mod-

ule with the receptive point on the

memory slot.

4. Align the notches on both ends of

the module against the receptive

points on the ends of the slot.

5. Use two thumbs together to press

the notches on both ends of the

module straight down into the slot

until the module snaps into place.

6. Press the release tabs to the lock

positions to secure the DIMM module

into the slot.

X10SLH-LN6TF User’s Manual

Removing Memory Modules

Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMM modules from the motherboard.

Memory Support

The X10SLH-LN6TF supports up to 32GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3 ECC

1600/1333 MHz (1.35V/1.5V) memory in four slots. Populating these DIMM mod-

ules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same size will result

in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance. Please refer to

the table below:

Memory Population Guidelines

Please follow the table below when populating the X10SLH-LN6TF.

Notes:

•Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same

frequency on the same motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of dif-

ferent types and speeds is not allowed.

•Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that

remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM

is used. The reduction in memory availability is disproportional. See the

following table for details.

Fan Headers (Fan 1- Fan 4/Fan A)

The X10SLH-LN6TF has ve fan headers (Fan

1-Fan 4, Fan A). These fans are 4-pin fan head-

ers. Although pins 1-3 of the fan headers are

backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin

fans, we recommend that 4-pin fans be used

to take advantage of the fan speed control via

IPMI interface. This allows the fan speeds to be

automatically adjusted based on the tempera-

tures of the CPU or the motherboard. Refer to

the table on the right for pin denitions.

Chassis Intrusion (JL1)

A Chassis Intrusion header is located at JL1 on

the motherboard. Attach the appropriate cable

from the chassis to inform you of a chassis intru-

sion when the chassis is opened.

2-8 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts be-

tween two pins to change the function of the

connector. Pin 1 is identied with a square

solder pad on the printed circuit board.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on, and "Open"

means the jumper is off the pins.

A. JPL1: LAN1/2 Enable

B. JPL2: LAN3/4 Enable

c. JPL3: LAN5/6 Enable

GLAN Enable/Disable

Jumpers JPL1/JPL2/JPL3 enable or disable

LAN ports 1/2/3 on the motherboard. See

the table on the right for jumper settings. The

default setting is enabled.

To clear the contents of the CMOS, completely shut down the system, remove the

AC power cord and then short JBT1 with a jumper. This will erase all user settings

and revert everything to their factory-set defaults.

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

hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure that the Onboard Power LED is not on. (Note: If it is on, the

onboard power is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or

removing the components.)

2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and

chassis.

3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for

the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.

4. Install a CPU and heatsink (be sure that it is fully seated) and then connect

the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper

settings as well.

No Power

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

chassis.

2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check if 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 make sure that it still

supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3-2

X10SLH-LN6TF User’s Manual

No Video

1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-

move all the add-on cards and cables rst.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (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 specications of memory modules, reset the memory or try a differ-

ent one.)

Memory Errors

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

the slots.

2. You should be using unbuffered ECC DDR3 (1.5V) 1600/1333 MHz memory

recommended by the manufacturer. Also, it is recommended that you use the

memory modules of the same type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.

Do not use memory modules of different sizes, different speeds and different

types on the same motherboard.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to

see if you can locate the faulty ones.

4. Check the switch of 115V/230V power supply.

Losing the System’s Setup Conguration

1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-

ply may cause the system to lose 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 x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

3-3

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all

the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro

does not sell directly to end users, so it is best to rst check with your distributor or

reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)

with the specic system conguration that was sold to you.

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

Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website

(http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Sup-

port.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-

cro.com/support/bios/).

Note: Not all BIOS can be ashed. Some cannot be ashed; it depends

on the boot block code of the BIOS.

3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still

cannot resolve the problem, then contact Supermicro's technical support and

provide them with the following information:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number

• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your

system rst boots up)

•System conguration

•An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at (http://www.su-

permicro.com/support/contact.cfm).

4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number

ready when placing a call to our technical support department. We can be

reached by e-mail at support@supermicro.com, by phone at: (408) 503-

8000, option 2, or by fax at (408)503-8019.

X10SLH-LN6TF User’s Manual

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The X10SLH-LN6TF supports up to 32GB of unbuffered ECC DDR3

1600/1333 MHz (1.5V/1.35V) memory modules. See Section 2-5 for details on

installing memory.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: We do NOT recommend that you upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS les are located on

our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM le to your

computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip le or the .exe le. If you

choose the zipped BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable device or

a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch le named "ami.bat" with

the new BIOS ROM le from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive. Use

the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-lename.xxx <Enter>

Note: Always use the le named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert

a space between "ami.bat" and the lename. The BIOS-ROM-lename

will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X10SLH-LN6TF) and build version

as the extension. For example, "X10SLH-LN6TF.115". When completed,

your system will automatically reboot.

If you choose the .exe le, please run the .exe le under Windows to create

the BIOS ash oppy disk. Insert the oppy disk into the system you wish

to ash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the oppy disk. The BIOS util-

ity will automatically ash the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that

this process may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if

the screen is paused for a few minutes.

When the BIOS ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and

will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS

defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system

will then reboot.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent

possible system boot failure!

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SLH-LN6TF. The

ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter

describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery

Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the

system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI 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 setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. 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:

the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to

include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the

setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar-

row keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Conguration Data

The conguration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

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 Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specication provides a software-

based interface between the operating system and the platform rmware in the

pre-boot environment. The UEFI specication 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

few seconds to one minute.

Appendix D

Dual Boot Block

D-1 Introduction

This motherboard supports the Dual Boot Block feature, which is the last-ditch

mechanism to recover the BIOS boot block. This section provides an introduction

to the feature.

BIOS Boot Block

A BIOS boot block is the minimum BIOS loader required to enable necessary

hardware components for the BIOS crisis recovery ash that will update the main

BIOS block. An on-call BIOS boot-block corruption may occur due to a software

tool issue (see image below) or an unexpected power outage during BIOS updates.

BIOS Boot Block Corruption Occurrence

When a BIOS boot block is corrupted due to an unexpected power outage or a

software tool malfunctioning during BIOS updates, you can still reboot the system

by closing pins 2 and 3 using a cap on Jumper JBR1. When JBR1 is set to pins

2 and 3, the system will boot from a backup boot block pre-loaded in the BIOS by

the manufacturer.

D-2

X10SLH-LN6TF User’s Manual

D-2 Steps to Reboot the System by Using Jumper JBR1

(Available when JBR1 is Installed onboard)

1. Power down the system.

2. Close pins 2-3 on Jumper JBR1, and power on the system.

3. Follow the BIOS recovery SOP listed in the previous chapter (Appendix C).

4. After completing the steps above, power down the system.
