Supermicro X10SRA/X10SRA-F Motherboard User’s Manual 1-4 Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine 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 a power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting.
Chapter 1: Introduction System Resource Alert This feature is available when the system is 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 also configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds. 1-6 ACPI Features ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.
Supermicro X10SRA/X10SRA-F Motherboard User’s Manual 1-7 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. This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.

Supermicro X10SRA/X10SRA-F Motherboard User’s Manual 2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. 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.
Chapter 2: Installation 2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation Attention! When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Important: Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intelcertified multi-directional heatsink only.

Supermicro X10SRA/X10SRA-F Motherboard User’s Manual Memory Support The X10SRA (-F) supports up to 512GB of ECC LRDIMM, up to 2400MHz, or 256GB ECC RDIMM, up to 2400MHz, or up to 64GB ECC/Non-ECC Unbuffered UDIMM (for Core i7 only), up to 2400MHz, in 8 memory slots. Populating these DIMM modules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.
Chapter 2: Installation Notes Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same frequency on the same motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed. Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availability is disproportional. See the following table for details.

Chapter 2: Installation 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 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.
Supermicro X10SRA/X10SRA-F Motherboard User’s Manual Installing the Motherboard 1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis. 2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard.

See the table at right for pin definitions for the header.
Supermicro X10SRA/X10SRA-F Motherboard User’s Manual 2-8 Jumper Settings Explanation of Jumpers 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. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on, and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.
Chapter 2: Installation Clear CMOS (JBT1, CLR_CMOS_SW, S8) JBT1, CLR_CMOS_SW and S8 are used to clear the saved system setup configuration stored in the CMOS chip. To clear the contents of the CMOS, completely shut down the system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 with a jumper or use the push button switch on CLR_CMOS_SW or S8. Remove the jumper before powering on the system again. This will erase all user settings and revert everything to their factory-set defaults.
