1-2 Chipset Overview

The Intel 3210 Chipset, designed for use with the Xeon 3000 Series Processor,

is comprised of two primary components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH9R). In addition, Intel's PCI-X (PXH) is used for

added functionality. The X7SB4/X7SBE provides the performance and feature-set

required for the cutting-edge, cost-effective server market.

Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

ThefunctionoftheMCHistomanagethedataowbetweenfourinterfaces:the

CPU interface, the DDR2 System Memory Interface, the PCI Express Interface

(Note Below), and the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The MCH is optimized for the

Xeon Core™2 processor in the 45nm/65nm process in the LGA775 Land Grid

Array Package. It supports one or two channels of DDR2 SDRAM.

The I/O Controller (ICH9R) provides the data buffering and interface arbitration re-

quiredforthesystemtooperateefciently.Italsoprovidesthebandwidthneeded

for the system to maintain its peak performance. The Direct Media Interface (DMI)

provides the connection between the MCH and the ICH9R. The ICH9R supports

two PCI-Express devices, six Serial ATA ports, and up to seven USB 2.0 ports/

headers. In addition, the ICH9R offers the Intel Matrix Storage Technology which

provides various RAID options for data protection and rapid data access. It also

supports the next generation of client management through the use of PROActive

technology in conjunction with Intel's next generation Gigabit Ethernet controller.

Intel ICH9R System Features

The I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the

system. Functions and capabilities include:

CPU Overheat LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function

in theBIOS. This allowsthe user todenean overheattemperature.When the

CPU temperature passes this temperature threshold, both the overheat fan and

the warning LED are triggered.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS

environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero Doctor is used to

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.

pins to change the function of the

connector. Pin 1 is identified with

a square solder pad on the printed

circuit board. See the motherboard

layout pages 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. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact

pads to prevent the 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 clear-

ing CMOS. Note: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the

system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS. Do not

use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

USB Wake-Up

Use JPUSB jumpers to enable the function of "Sys-

tem Waking-Up via USB devices". These jumpers

allow you to "wake up" the system by pressing a

key on the USB keyboard or by clicking the USB

mouse of your system. The JPUSB jumpers are

used together with the USB Wake-Up function in

the BIOS. Enable the jumper and the BIOS setting

to use this feature. See the table on the right for

jumper settings and jumper connections. Note:

JPUSB1 is for Back Panel USB ports:0/1, 7/8, and

JPUSB2 is for Front Panel USB ports:2/3,4/5/6.

Note: JPUSB1 should be enabled by default to

allow BP USB0 and BP USB1 to wake up from

Standby Modes. However, the default jumper set-

ting for the JPUSB2 is Disabled. When the USB

Wake-Up feature is enabled in the BIOS, and

the selected USB ports are also enabled via the

JPUSB jumpers, please be sure to remove all

other USB devices from the USB ports whose

USB jumpers are set to Disabled before the system

goes into the standby mode.

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X7SB4/X7SBE.

ThePhoenixROMBIOSisstoredinaashchipandcanbeeasilyupgradedusing

aoppydisk-based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. Please refer to the Manual

DownloadareaoftheSupermicrowebsite<http://www.supermicro.com>forany

changestotheBIOSthatmaynotbereectedinthismanual.

System BIOS

BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM

® PC, XT™, AT®, and PS/2®

compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters, types of

disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very

little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery provides

power to the CMOS logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the

computerispoweredonthecomputerisconguredwiththevaluesstoredinthe

CMOS logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.

How To Change the Conguration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed

by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

the<Delete>keyattheappropriatetimeduringsystemboot.(Seebelow.)

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test.

Asthememoryisbeing tested,pressthe <Delete>keytoenterthemainmenu

of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup

screens, such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 4-3,

detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating BIOS to

prevent possible boot failure.

Note: The SPI BIOS chip used in the X7SB4/X7SBE is not removable. To replace a

damaged SPI BIOS chip, please send the motherboard to Supermicro for repair.
