X9DRH-7F/-iF/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User’s Manual
1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
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 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the features of PC health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following onboard
voltages continuously: +1.8V, 3.3V, 3.3VSB, 5V, 5VSB, +12V, Memory, Chipset and
Battery Voltage. 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 defi ne
the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard
CPU and chassis fans 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-defi ned
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 airfl ow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor III 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 confi gure SuperDoctor

Chapter 1: Overview
1-13
to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefi ned range.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifi ca-
tion defi nes a fl 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 confi guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7, 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 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 X9DRH series motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Al-
though most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU,
some are inadequate. In addition to the 24-pin ATX power and two 12V 8-pin power
connectors (JPWR1/JPWR2) are also required to ensure adequate power supply to
the system. Your power supply must also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a power
supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect
these power supply connectors to the 24-pin power connector (J22) and two 8-pin
power connectors (JPWR1/JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will void
the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

1-14
X9DRH-7F/-iF/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User’s Manual
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specifi cation 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
fi 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 Confi 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 new advanced power management features supported by this motherboard
include IPNM and ME. Please note that you will need to do following to use these
two new features:
• Use a power supply that supports PMBus 1.1 or 1.2.
• Install the NMView software in your system. NMView is optional and can be
purchased from Supermicro.
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 effi ciency.
Although IPNM Specifi cation Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ment Engine (ME) fi rmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM Specifi cation Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.

Chapter 1: Overview
1-15
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.

Other Important Notes and Restrictions
• For the memory modules to work properly, please install DIMM modules of the
same type, same speed and same operating frequency on the motherboard.
Mixing of RDIMMs, UDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not allowed. Do not install both
ECC and Non-ECC memory modules on the same motherboard.
• Using DDR3 DIMMs with different operating frequencies is not allowed. All chan-
nels in a system will run at the lowest common frequency.

2-5 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi 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 (9 pieces)
• Standoffs (9 pieces, if needed)
Location of Mounting Holes
There are nine (9) 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
installation. 2) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
precautionary measures to avoid damaging components when installing the moth-
erboard to the chassis.

Installing the Motherboard
1. Install the I/O shield into the chassis.
2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard.
3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes
on the motherboard with the mounting holes on the chassis.
4. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.
5. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging mother-
board components.
6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, insert a Pan head #6 screw into a mounting
hole on the motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis.
7. Repeat Step 5 to insert #6 screws into all mounting holes.
8. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.

Fan Headers
This motherboard has six system/CPU
fan headers (Fan 1~Fan 6, Fan A/Fan B)
on the motherboard. All these 4-pin fans
headers are backward compatible with
the traditional 3-pin fans. However, fan
speed control is available for 4-pin fans
only. The fan speeds are controlled by
Thermal Management via Hardware Mon-
itoring in the Advanced Setting in BIOS.
(See Chapter 5 for more details.) See the
table on the right for pin defi nitions.

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. 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.
Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
Note 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 3: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.
A. Clear CMOS
B. Watch Dog Enable
Watch Dog Enable/Disable
Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that
can reboot the system when a software appli-
cation hangs. Close Pins 1-2 to reset the sys-
tem if an application hangs. Close Pins 2-3 to
generate a non-maskable interrupt signal for
the application that hangs. See the table on
the right for jumper settings. Watch Dog must
also be enabled in the BIOS.

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 rst (-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 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.

3-2
X9DRH-7F/-iF/-7TF/-iTF 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 contacting 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 mod-
ules. Make sure that the system's 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 Con guration
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 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
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.)

mended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load
Reduced (LRDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC/Non-ECC DIMM mod-
ules 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 at 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
system fans work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring settings in the BIOS
to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are within the normal

3-4
X9DRH-7F/-iF/-7TF/-iTF Motherboard User's Manual
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 con guration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum con gura-
tion (with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the problematic
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 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.
