1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon E-2400 or 12th Generation Pentium processor (V0 – (LGA1700), and the Intel C266 chipset, the X13SCW-F motherboard provides optimized system performance, efficient power management, and features based on cutting edge technology to address the needs of next-generation computer users. The X13SCW-F offers maximum I/O flexibility and data reliability in an Intel 7 process technology and is ideal for network appliance, telecommuting, and media-transcoding. The Intel Xeon E-2400 or 12th Generation Pentium processor, and the Intel C266 chipset support the following features:
· DDR5 288-pin memory support · Intel Hyper-Threading, Intel VT-D, VT-x · Intel SGX · Intel Turbo Boost Technology · SPI Enhancements · Intel Node Manager, which provides a suite of tools to control and monitor power, thermal,
and resource usage
· BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package for enterprise
platforms
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.
18

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.4 System Health Monitoring
Onboard Voltage Monitors
An onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and battery. 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. Real time voltage levels are 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 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-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, be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5®. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify you of certain system events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
19

Super X13SCW-F User’s Manual
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 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, 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 Server 2016 (64-bit, MSFT Inbox graphic drivers), RedHat Enterprise Linux Server (64-bit), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (64-bit), and Ubuntu Server (64-bit) 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 where noisy power transmission is present. The X13SCW-F motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, one 12 V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure adequate power to the system.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use power supplies that contain 24-pins and 8-pins, respectively. Be sure to connect the power supplies to the 24-pin power connector (JPW1), and the 8-pin power connector (JPW2) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so may void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above and is SSI compliant. (For more information, refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/).
1.7 Serial Port
The X13SCW-F motherboard supports two serial communication connections. COM Port 1 and COM Header 2 can be used for input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a 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 high-speed serial communication devices.

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.

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.

Location of Mounting Holes

Note 1: Do not use a force greater than 8 in-lbf (0.904 N-m) on each mounting screw during motherboard installation. Exceeding this force may over-torque the screw, causing damage to the motherboard and screw.

Note 2: Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Take precautionary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.

22

Chapter 2: Installation
Installing the Motherboard
1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis, if applicable.
2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. See the previous page for the location.
3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against 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 other motherboard
components. 6. Using the torque driver, insert a pans head #6 screw into a mounting hole on the
motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis. 7. Repeat Step 6 to insert #6 screws into all mounting holes. 8. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.
Note: Images displayed are for illustration only. Your chassis or components might look different from those shown in this manual.

2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
· Use ESD protection. · Unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies after shutting down the system. · Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins
are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
· When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands
(gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
· If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional
heatsink only.
· Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support. · All graphics in this manual are for illustrational purposes only. Your components may look
different.

Super X13SCW-F User’s Manual

General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance · The blue slots must be populated first.
· It is recommended to use DDR5 memory of the same type, size, and speed.
· Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
· The motherboard will support an odd number amount of memory modules. However, to
achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is recommended.

2.8 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.

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. Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

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/ orReturning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter. Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any non hot-swap 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 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 115 V/230 V 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. Check the CPU socket for bent pins and make sure the CPU is fully seated. 6. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies
approximately 3 VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
57

Super X13SCW-F User’s Manual
System Boot Failure
If the system does not display Power-On-Self-Test (POST) or does not respond after the power is turned on, do the following: 1. Check the screen for an error message. 2. Clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and contacting both pads on the
CMOS clear jumper (JBT1). Restart the system. Refer to Section 2-8 in Chapter 2. 3. Remove all components from the motherboard and turn on the system with only one
DIMM module installed. If the system boots, turn off the system and repopulate the components back into the system to retest. Add one component at a time to isolate which one may have caused the system boot issue.
Memory Errors
When suspecting faulty memory is causing the system issue, 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 DDR5 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.
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 3 VDC. 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.
58

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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 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. 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 a USB flash or media device. 2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
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.
59

Super X13SCW-F User’s Manual 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.
60

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
3.2 Technical Support Procedures
Before contacting Technical Support, take the following steps. Also, note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro also sells motherboards through its channels, so it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problems with the specific system configuration that was sold to you. 1. Go through the Troubleshooting Procedures and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website (http://www.supermicro.com/ FAQ/index.php) before contacting Technical Support. 2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website (http://www.supermicro.com/ ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html). 3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when contacting Supermicro for technical support:
· Motherboard model (X13SCW-F) and PCB revision number · BIOS release date/version (This can be seen on the initial display when your system first
boots up.)
· System configuration
4. An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/ RmaForm/.
5. Distributors: For immediate assistance, have your account number ready when placing a call to our Technical Support department. We can be reached by email at support@ supermicro.com.
61

Super X13SCW-F User’s Manual
3.3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support? Answer: The motherboard supports up to 128 GB of ECC UDIMM DDR5 memory with speeds of up to 4400 MT/s (with the one or two DIMM(s) per channel population configuration) in four memory slots (two DIMMs per channel). To enhance memory performance, do not mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. Follow all memory installation instructions given on Section 2-4 in Chapter 2. Question: How do I update my BIOS? Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on our website at http://www. supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html. Check our BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our website. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS file to your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before downloading. Unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable USB device and then boot into the built-in UEFI Shell and type “flash.nsh <BMC Username>” to start the BIOS update. The flash script will invoke the SUM (EFI) tool automatically to perform the BIOS update, beginning with uploading the BIOS image to BMC. After uploading the firmware, the system will reboot to continue the process. The BMC will take over and continue the BIOS update in the background. The process will take 3-5 minutes. Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent possible system boot failure! Read the X13_AMI_BIOS_Upgrade_README file carefully before you perform the BIOS update.

UEFI BIOS

4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOSTM Setup utility for the motherboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a flash 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. Refer to the Manual Download area of our website for any changes to BIOS that may not be reflected 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 key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as , , 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 configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. 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 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 Bold are the default values. A ” ” indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the key 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 (,
