Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor Overview
The Intel Xeon D-2100 series SoC processor family, with up to 16 cores and up
to 100W of power, offers performance, reliability, and high intelligence. As a
low-power system-on-a-chip motherboard, the X11SDV-
4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F is optimized for a variety of workloads that
requires high compute power in a compact form-factor.
· ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 4.0a · Intel Turbo Boost Technology
· Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring · PCI-E 3.0, SATA 3.0, NVMe · System
Management Bus (SMBus) Specification Version 2.0 · Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT) · Intel Rapid Storage Technology · Intel Virtualization
Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SDV-
4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard
System Hardware Monitor chip 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
The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that
supports system health monitoring.
17
X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F User’s Manual
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. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings of these voltage levels
are all displayed in IPMI.
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 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 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 the user 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.
1.5 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
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 Windows 2012/R2 and 2016 Server
operating systems.

Chapter 1: Introduction
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 X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F motherboard
supports both +12V DC and ATX power input. Either option requires an 8-pin 12V
connection to the JPV1 header, with an ATX power input requiring an additional
connection using PN: CBL-PWEX-1063 between header PJ1 and the 24-pin power
connector of an ATX power supply. PJ1 allows motherboard control of the
5VStby, power on, power good, and ground signals from the ATX power supply.
Refer to the diagram below for the proper connection to PJ1 for ATX power
input. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply
that meets ATX power supply Specification 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 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.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to your motherboard, 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 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 your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity
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.

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.

2.3 Memory Support and Population
Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to
prevent any possible damage.
Memory Support
The X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F motherboard supports up to 256GB of
ECC RDIMM or 512GB of ECC LRDIMM DDR4 memory in four memory slots. Populating
these DIMM slots with memory modules of the same type and size will result in
interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.
DIMM Module Population Configuration
For optimal memory performance, follow the table below when populating memory.

X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F User’s Manual
DIMM Module Population Sequence
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the
following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMD1, DIMME1.
· Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same type and speed. · Mixed DIMM speeds
can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
· The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (one or three modules
installed).
However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs to
activate memory interleaving.

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 the pins and Open
means the jumper is off.

CMOS Clear JBT1 is used to clear the CMOS. Instead of pins, this jumper
consists of contact pads to prevent accidental clearing of the CMOS. To clear
the CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at
the same time to short the connection.
Note: Shut down the system and then short JBT1 to clear the CMOS.
SMBus to PCI-E Slots
Jumpers JI2C1 and JI2C2 allow you to connect the System Management Bus (I2C) to the PCI-E slots. Both jumpers must be set to the same setting (JI2C1 controls the clock and JI2C2 controls the data). The default setting is Disabled

to Appendix A for
details on beep codes.
48
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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 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 that the
DIMMs are properly and fully installed. Click on the Tested Memory List link
on the motherboard 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 DDR4 RDIMM 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. 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.

X11SDV-4C/8C/8C+/12C/16C/16C+-TLN2F User’s Manual
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. 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 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. 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 CD/DVD. 2. Cable connection: Check to
make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
50
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting 3. Using 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. 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. 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.
