Super X11SCE-F User's Manual
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SCE-F motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard ASpeed 2500 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that
supports system health monitoring.
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 health monitoring features of the X11SCE-F motherboard. The
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 dene the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. The user
can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time
readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in the BIOS.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The system health monitor embedded in the BMC chip can check the RPM status of the
cooling fans. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled via lPMI.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors in the BMC monitor the 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-dened 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 provide adequate airow to your
system.
17
Chapter 1: Introduction
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 congure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you
with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds
go beyond a predened range.
1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication denes
a exible 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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows 10 and Windows 2012 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. 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 (ASpeed AST2500 chip) provides a high-speed, 16550 compatible serial
communication port (UART), which supports serial infrared communication. The UART
includes send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control
capability, and a processor interrupt system. The UART provides 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, supporting 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 management through a SMI
or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
18
Super X11SCE-F User's Manual
1.8 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.
Intel ® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)
Available when the Supermicro Power Manager (SPM) is installed, Intel's 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 2.0/3.0
is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also have
IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) rmware 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.

Installation
2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid damaging
your motherboard and your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure that your chassis provides excellent conductivity be-
tween the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specied by the manufacturer. Do
not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in a possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking
the motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

2.2 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 the motherboard and the chassis match.
Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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.
Location of Mounting Holes
Notes: 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 these components when installing the motherboard to
the chassis.

2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan.
Important
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing or
changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the
CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-directional
heatsink only.
Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.
When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your
retailer immediately.
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

1. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chassis.
2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Check that 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 verify that it still supplies
~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
43
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. Conrm that you are using the correct memory. Also, it is recommended that you use
the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2.4 for
memory details.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting
the results.
4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.
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 1.6 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.
3. If the above steps do not x the setup conguration problem, contact your vendor for
repairs.
When the System Becomes Unstable
A. If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the following:
1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported and that you have the latest
BIOS installed in your system.
44
Super X11SCE-F User's Manual
2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing the
modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.
Note: Click on the Tested Memory List link on the motherboard product page to see
a list of supported memory.
3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the
bad HDDs with good ones.
4. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and CPU/
system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings 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 it 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 the minimum power requirements.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working
properly, including boot devices such as CD.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (but
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 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.

UEFI BIOS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the X11SCE-F motherboard. The BIOS
is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a ash program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added
or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual
Download area of our website for any changes to the BIOS that may not be reected
in this manual.
Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting up. (In
most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the 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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be congured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be congured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or
change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in are the default values.Bold
A " "indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key will
open the list of settings within that submenu.
The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these
hot keys (<F1>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process.
