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 motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following onboard
voltages continuously: CPU1 Vcore, CPU2 Vcore, +1.8V, +12V, 1.5V, 3.3V, 3.3VSB,
5V, 5VSB, battery voltage, memory voltages and chipset 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan.
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-dened
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 airow 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 congure SuperDoctor
to provide you with warnings when the system/CPU temperatures, CPU voltages
and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-
tion denes a exible 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 peripheral devices 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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 2008, Windows Vista and Windows
7 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 X9DAi motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some
are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections are also required to
ensure adequate power supply to the system. Your power supply must also supply
1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: To prevent damage to 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 supply connectors to the 24-pin (J22) and two 8-pin power connectors (JPWR1,
JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure to do 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 Specication 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
lter 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.

Location of Mounting Holes
There are nine (9) mounting holes on this motherboard indicated by the arrows.
2-5 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t 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 (9 pieces)
•Standoffs (9 pieces, if needed)
Warning: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, please do
not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard
installation. 2) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
precautionary measures to prevent damage to these components when installing the
motherboard to the chassis.
Chapter 2: Installation
2-17
Installing the Motherboard
1. Install the I/O shield into the chassis.
2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard.
3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes
on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.
4. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.
5. Install the motherboard into the chassis carefully to avoid damaging mother-
board components.
6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, insert a Pan head #6 screw into a mounting
hole on the motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis.
7. Repeat Step 5 to insert #6 screws into all mounting holes.
8. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.
Note: Images displayed are for illustration only. Your chassis or compo-
nents might look different from those shown in this manual.

2-8 Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, jumpers can be used to choose
between optional settings. Jumpers cre-
ate shorts between two pins to change
the function of the connector. Pin 1
is identied with a square solder pad
on the printed circuit board. See the
motherboard layout pages for jumper
locations.
Note: On two-p in 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 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 Enable/Disable
Watch Dog (JWD1) is a system monitor that
can reboot the system when a software ap-
plication hangs. Close pins 1-2 to reset the
system if an application hangs. Close pins
2-3 to generate a non-maskable interrupt
signal for the application that hangs. See the
table on the right for jumper settings. Watch
Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.

X9DAi 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 contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to
Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.)
2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM mod-
ules. Make sure that the system's 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 Conguration
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 x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your
vendor for repairs.
3-3
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
1866/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz 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.
5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the
instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.
6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
Section 2-4 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
3-4
X9DAi 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 conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary
components (starting with add-on cards rst), and use minimum conguration
(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 nd 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.
