1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon W-1200 series, 10th/11th Generation

Core i9/i7/i5/i3 (LAG1200) processor and the PCH W580 chipset, the X12SAE-5/X12SCA-5F

motherboard provides system performance, power eciency, and feature sets to address the

needs of next-generation computer users.

With the support of the new Intel Microarchitecture 14nm Process Technology, the

X12SAE-5/X12SCA-5F dramatically increases system performance for a multitude of server

applications.

The Intel PCH W580 chipset provides support, including the following features:

• DDR4 288-pin memory support

• Direct Media Interface

• Intel Matrix Storage Technology and Intel Rapid Storage Technology

• Dual NAND Interface

• Intel I/O Virtualization (VT-d) Support

• Intel Trusted Execution Technology Support

• PCIe 4.0 Interface (up to 16 GT/s)

• SATA Controller (up to 6Gb/sec)

• Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)

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 o (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. Refer to the Power Conguration secton

for this setting. The default setting is Last State.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.4 System Health Monitoring

Onboard Voltage Monitors

An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, CPU,

and battery continuously. 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.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard

CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via SIO.

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-dened 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 the user when the chassis temperature is too high.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate air-

ow 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 congure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,

CPU temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

Super X12SAE-5/X12SCA-5F User's Manual

1.5 ACPI Features

The Advanced Conguration and Power Interface (ACPI) 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 o 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 conguration 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.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-state Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink to indicate

that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will "wake up,"

and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

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 X12SAE-5/X12SCA-5F motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply.

Although most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some

are inadequate. In addition, one 12V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure

adequate power supply to the system. Also, your power supply must supply 1.5A for the

Ethernet ports.

Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use a

power supply that contains a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector. Be sure to con-

nect 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 Specication 2.02 or later. It must also be SSI compliant.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.7 Serial Header

The X12SAE-5/X12SCA-5F motherboard supports one serial communication connection. The

COM header 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.

1.8 Super I/O

The Super I/O supports one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication port (UART).

Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator,

complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. The UART provides

legacy speed 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 higher speed modems.

2.4 Memory Support and Installation

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to pre-

vent any possible damage.

General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance

• When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following

order: DIMMA2, DIMMB2, then DIMMA1, DIMMB1.

• Only populate DIMMA1 and DIMMB1 if the extra memory support is needed.

• To optimize memory performance, please use memory of the same type, size, and speed

on the motherboard.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the

slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard supports odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed).

However, to achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is

recommended.

2.9 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 identied with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. Refer to the diagram

below for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. 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 o󰀨 the pins.

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/

or ‘Returning 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 115V/230V switch, if available.

4. Turn the power switch on and o 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.

Super X12SAE-5/X12SCA-5F 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 dierent 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 Clear CMOS 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. Refer to Chapter 2 for installation instructions. (For memory compatibility, refer

to the "Tested Memory List" link on the motherboard's product website page to see a list

of supported memory.)

2. Check if dierent 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 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.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

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 Power

Supply 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.

BIOS Codes

A.1 BIOS Error POST (Beep) Codes

During the Power-On Self-Test (POST) routines, which are performed each time the system

is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up

process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot up procedure. If

a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table

shown below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered

by users.

BIOS Beep (POST) Codes

OS and the RAID driver. Refer to the RAID Conguration User Guides posted on our website

at www.supermicro.com/support/manuals.

Installing the OS

1. Create a method to access the MS Windows installation ISO le. That might be a DVD,

perhaps using an external USB/SATA DVD drive, or a USB ash drive, or the IPMI KVM

console.

2. Retrieve the proper RST/RSTe driver. Go to the Supermicro web page for your

motherboard and click on "Download the Latest Drivers and Utilities", select the proper

driver, and copy it to a USB ash drive.
