1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
The P555 F5 offer maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a
7-nm process architecture, and is optimized for high performance computing, NVMe
storage solutions, and ideal for High Density Data Center applications.
The P555 F5 supports the new microarchitecture 7-nm process technology, which drastically
increases system performance for amultitude of server applications.
The AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Processor supports the following features:
ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 6.1
Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
PCIe 4.0, SATA 3.0 w/transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification Version 2.0
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the P555 F5. The
motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health
monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides asetting 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.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the P555 F5 motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that
supports system health monitoring. Once avoltage becomes unstable, awarning 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.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once avoltage
becomes unstable, it will give awarning or send an error message to the screen. Users can
adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings
of these voltage levels are all displayed in BMC.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
Users cancheck the RPM status of the cooling fans through the IPMI Web interface. The
chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management.
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 auser-defined 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 airflow to
your system.

1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines
aflexible and abstract hardware interface that provides astandard way to integrate power
management features throughout acomputer system including its hardware, operating system
and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as 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 aprocessor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows 2012/R2 and Windows 2016 operating systems.
1.6 Super I/O
The ASpeed AST2500 Super I/O provides one high-speed, 16550 compatible Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), which support serial infrared communications.
This UART includes asend/receive FIFO, aprogrammable baud rate generator, complete
modem control capability and aprocessor interrupt system. This UART provides legacy speed
with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K,
500 K, or 1Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacyand ACPI power management through the System
Management Interrupt (SMI) or System Control Interrupt (SCI). It also features auto power
management to reduce power consumption.

The ASpeed AST2500 Super I/O provides one high-speed, 16550 compatible Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), which support serial infrared communications.
This UART includes a send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete
modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. This UART provides legacy speed
with 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.

2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage toyour
motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally
sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
Use agrounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Touch agrounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure that your chassis provides excellent conductivity be-
tween the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specified by the manufacturer. Do
not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in apossible explosion.
