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 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the features of PC health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following onboard
voltages continuously: VCORE, Memory, 3.3V, 3.3VSB, 5V, 5VSB, +12V, Chipset,
and Battery Voltage. 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
define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Environmental Temperature Control
A 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 it detects
that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan
control 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 airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor® III in the Windows OS
environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. 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.
1-12
Chapter 2: Overview
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica-
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC 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 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008
Operating Systems.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking
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.
The X9DRW-7TPF+/iTPF+ motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power sup-
plies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by
the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition to the 24-pin ATX power, two 12V 8-pin
power connectors (JPW2/JPW3) are also required to ensure adequate power sup-
ply to the system. Your power supply must also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, please use a power
supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these
power connectors to the 24-pin power connector located at JPW1, and the two 8-pin
power connectors located at JPW2/JPW3 on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will
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. (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
1-13
X9DRW-7TPF+/iTPF+ Motherboard User’s Manual
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.
1-7 Super I/O
The Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable
baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.
1-8 Advanced Power Management
The new Advanced Power Management features are included below:
The new advanced power management features supported by this motherboard
include IPNM and ME. Please note that you will need to do the following to use
these two new features:
•ꢀUse a power supply that supports PMBus 1.1 or 1.2.
•ꢀInstall the NMView software in your system. NMView is optional and can be
purchased from Supermicro.
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)
The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency.
Although IPNM is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller),
your system must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) firmware
installed in your system for IPNM support.
Note: Support for IPNM Specification Version 1.5 or Version 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
1-14
Chapter 2: Overview
Management Engine (ME)
The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, pro-
vides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by
SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.
1-9 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller
The Nuvoton WPCM450R Controller, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),
supports 2D/VGA-compatible Graphic Cores with PCI interface, creating multi-media
virtualization via Keyboard/Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR). The WPCM450R
Controller is ideal for remote system management.

Other Important Notes and Restrictions
•ꢀFor the memory modules to work properly, please install DIMM modules of the
same type, same speed and same operating frequency on the motherboard. Mix-
ing of RDIMMs, UDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not allowed. Do not install both ECC and
Non-ECC memory modules on the same motherboard.
•ꢀUsing DDR3 DIMMs with different operating frequencies is not allowed. All chan-
nels in a system will run at the lowest common frequency.
2-15
X9DRW-7TPF+/iTPF+ Motherboard User’s Manual
2-5 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 motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, 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.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.
Tools Needed
•ꢀPhillips Screwdriver
•ꢀPan head screws (12 pieces)
•ꢀStandoffs (12 pieces, if needed)
Location of Mounting Holes
There are twelve (12) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such
as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.
Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
Note 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 3: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that
can reboot the system when a software appli-
cation hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset the sys-
tem if an application hangs. Close pins 2-3 to

the application that hangs. See the table on

plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
3-1
X9DRW-7TPF+/iTPF+ Motherboard User’s Manual
No Video
1. If the power is on, but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and
cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A
for details on beep codes.
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 in-
stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only
one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. 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 contacting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to the
memory section in Chapter 2.)
2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules.
Make sure that system power is on, and 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.
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 sup-
plies ~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.
3-2
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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 DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,
refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our website @ http://www.
supermicro.com.)
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-
mended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load
Reduced (LRDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC-Non ECC DDR3 mod-
ules 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 the memory section in Chapter 2.
6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
the memory section to install your memory modules.
When the System Becomes Unstable
A. When the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check
the following:
1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and you have the
latest BIOS installed in your system.
2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-
ing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.
Note: Refer to the product page on our website http://www.supermicro.
com for memory and CPU support and updates.
3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Re-
place the bad HDDs with good ones.
4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans,
and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set-
tings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are
3-3
X9DRW-7TPF+/iTPF+ Motherboard User’s Manual
within the normal range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED, and make
sure that the Overheat LED 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 minimum power require-
ment.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.
B. When 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 disc, CD/DVD-
ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and
working properly.
3. Using minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards first), and use minimum configuration
(with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas.
Refer to the steps listed in Section A above for proper troubleshooting proce-
dures.
4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a compo-
nent 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.

Chapter 4: AMI BIOS
Chapter 4
BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DRW-7TPF+/iTPF+. It
also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system
is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup
screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>,
<F4>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for informational text. When an option is selected in
the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often informational text will accompany it.
Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The
manufacturer retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these
informational messages.
The AMI BIOS Setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed at each
system boot, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue to
boot. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue with bootup 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.

B-1 Installing Software Programs
The Supermicro ftp site contains drivers and utilities for your system at ftp://ftp.
supermicro.com. Some of these must be installed, such as the chipset driver.
After accessing the ftp site, go into the CDR_Images directory and locate the ISO
file for your motherboard. Download this file to create a CD/DVD of the drivers and
utilities it contains. (You may also use a utility to extract the ISO file if preferred.)
Another option is to go to the Supermicro Website at http://www.supermicro.com/
products/. Find the product page for your motherboard here, where you may down-
load individual drivers and utilities.
After creating a CD/DVD with the ISO files, insert the disk into the CD/DVD drive
on your system and the display shown below should appear.
Driver/Tool Installation Display Screen
Note 1: Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the
readme files for each item. Click the computer icons to the right of these
items to install each item (from top to the bottom) one at a time. After
installing each item, you must re-boot the system before moving on
to the next item on the list. The bottom icon with a CD on it allows you
to view the entire contents.
Note 2: When making a storage driver diskette by booting into a Driver
CD, please set the SATAConfiguration to "Compatible Mode" and configure
SATA as IDE in the BIOS Setup. After making the driver diskette, be sure
to change the SATA settings back to your original settings.

B-2 Configuring SuperDoctor III
The SuperDoctor® III program is a web-based management tool that supports
remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.
The local management is called SD III Client. The SuperDoctor III program allows
you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. SuperDoctor III
displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages
and fan status. See the figures below for examples of the SuperDoctor III interface.
Note 1: The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is
ADMIN/ADMIN.
Note 2: When SuperDoctor III is first installed, it adopts the temperature
threshold settings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to
these thresholds must be made within SuperDoctor III, as the SuperDoc-
tor III settings override the BIOS settings. To set the BIOS temperature
threshold settings again, you would first need to uninstall SuperDoctor III.
