Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon D-1700 processor
series, the X12SDV-4C/8C/10C-SP6F and X12SDV-8CE-SP4F motherboards provide
system performance, power efficiency, and feature sets to address the needs of
next-generation computer users. The X12SDV-4C/8C/10C-SP6F and X12SDV-8CE-SP4F
motherboards dramatically increase system performance for a multitude of
server applications. The motherboard provides the following features:
· Intel TXT,and AMT vPro · USB 3.0, SATA 3.0 · Intel Hyper-Threading, Intel
VT-D, VT-x · TSX-NI, AES, SGX · Intel Turbo Boost Technology · Intel Rapid
Storage Technology · 256GB ECC and Non-ECC RDIMM/UDIMM DDR4 memory support
with speeds of up to
2933 MT/s
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
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels.
Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is
sent to the screen. You can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The system health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The
CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the BIOS Thermal Management.
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-
defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU.
Once the thermal 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 you when the chassis temperature is too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, provide adequate airflow to your
system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5® in the Windows OS or
in the Linux environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify you of certain system
events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor to provide you with
warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan
speeds go beyond a predefined range.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.5 ACPI Features
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (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 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
configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures,
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is
compatible with appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed
information regarding OS support, refer to the Supermicro website.
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 where noisy power transmission is present. The X12SDV-
4C/8C/10C-SP6F and X12SDV-8CE-SP4F motherboards accommodate a 24-pin ATX power
supply. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications
required by the CPU, some are inadequate. The 8-pin connector is for 12V DC
input. It can work without the 24-pin ATX power connector. It is strongly
recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power
supply Specification 2.02 or above.
1.7 Serial Port
The X12SDV-4C/8C/10C-SP6F and X12SDV-8CE-SP4F motherboards support one serial
communication connection. The UART provides legacy speeds with a baud rate of
up to 115.2 Kbps.

Installation
2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To avoid
damaging your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The
following measures are generally sufficient 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 motherboard 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 computer chassis provides
excellent conduc-
tivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the
motherboard.
· Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the
onboard battery
upside down to avoid 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.

Chapter 2: Installation
2.2 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit 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.
Tools Needed

2.7 Jumper Settings
How Jumpers Work
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 diagram below for an example of jumping
pins 1 and 2. Refer to the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.
Note: On two-pin jumpers, “Closed” means the jumper is on and “Open” means the
jumper is off the pins.
Connector Pins

CMOS Clear JBT1 is used to clear CMOS, which will also clear any passwords.
Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally
clearing the contents of CMOS. To Clear CMOS 1. First power down the system
and unplug the power cord(s).
2. Remove the cover of the chassis to access the motherboard.
3. Remove the onboard battery from the motherboard.
4. Short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver for at
least four seconds.
5. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
6. Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord(s), and power on the system.
Note: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

those for the keyboard
and mouse. 3. Remove all add-on cards. 4. Install the CPU (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, if available, on the power supply is properly
set. 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
supplies
approximately 3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
59
Super X12SDV-4C/8C/10C-SP6F and X12SDV-8CE-SP4F User’s Manual
No Video
1. If the power is on, but you have no video, remove all add-on cards and
cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes are present. 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 specs of memory modules, reset the memory or try a different one.
System Boot Failure
If the system does not display Power-On-Self-Test (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, replace the motherboard.
· If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power
cord and con-
tacting both pads on the CMOS clear jumper (JBT1). Refer to Section 2.7 in
Chapter 2. 2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM
modules. Make
sure that system power is on and that 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.
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 are
properly
installed. See Chapter 2 for installation instructions. For memory
compatibility, refer to the “Tested Memory List” link on the motherboard’s
product page to see a list of supported memory.
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly
recommended 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 ECC or Non-ECC DDR4
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.
60
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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
Chapter 2 for details on recommended power supplies.
2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still
supplies approximately 3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
3. If the above steps do not fix the setup configuration 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. 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’s 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 BIOS 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. Refer
to our website for more information on the minimum power requirements.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.
B. If 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 USB flash or media drives. 2. Cable
connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
61
Super X12SDV-4C/8C/10C-SP6F and X12SDV-8CE-SP4F User’s Manual 3. Use the
minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components
(starting with add-on cards first), and use the minimum configuration (but
with the 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. Identify 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. 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.
