Super X13DAI-T User’s Manual
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
An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, and CPU continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen.
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 BMC.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard processors and the system in real time via the BMC interface. Whenever the temperature of the CPU or the system exceeds Supermicro’s pre-defined threshold, the system and CPU cooling fan speed will increase to prevent the CPU or system from overheating.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5 in the Windows Server and Red Hat/ SuSE Linux. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the user 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.

Chapter 1: Introduction
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, 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, please 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 X13DAI-T motherboard accommodates one 24-pin power connector (JPWR1) and three 12V 8-pin power connectors (JPWR2/JPWR3/JPWR4). Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. All these power connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Warning! To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use a power supply that contains one 24-pin and three 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect the power supply to the 24-pin power connector (JPWR1) and the 8-pin power connectors (JPWR2/ JPWR3/JPWR4) 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. It must also be SSI compliant. The recommended power supply for the X13DAI-T motherboard is PWS-2K01-PQ PSU PS2 2000W Multi-output PLATINUM.
1.7 Serial Port
The X13DAI-T motherboard supports one serial communication connection. COM1 header can be used for input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps.

2.2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
The processor (CPU) and processor carrier should be assembled together first to form the processor carrier assembly. This assembly will be then attached to the heatsink to form the processor heatsink module (PHM) before being installed into the CPU socket. Before installation, be sure to perform the following steps:
· Please carefully follow the instructions given on the previous page to avoid ESD-related
damages.
· Unplug the AC power cords 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.
· Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed. · Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor and memory support. · All graphics in this manual are for illustrations only. Your components may look different.

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 closing Pin 1 and Pin 2 of the jumper. Refer to the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.
Note 1: Unplug the power cord from the power supply before adjust jumper setting.
Note 2: 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).

JBT1 contact pads

2. Remove the cover of the chassis to access the motherboard and remove the battery from the motherboard.

3. Short the CMOS pads, JBT1, with a metal object such as a small screwdriver for at least four seconds.

4. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

5. Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord(s), and power on the system.

Note: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

No Video
1. If the power is on, but you do not have video, remove all add-on cards and cables. 2. 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 (Power-On-Self-Test) or does not respond after the power is turned on, check the following: 1. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Power on
the system and check if the power-on LED (LEDPWR1) and the BMC Heartbeat LED (LEDBMC1) are on, and system fans are spinning. 2. 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
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 DIMM modules 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 1 for details on recommended power supplies.
