Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® E3-12xx v5 series processors (Socket
LGA 1151) and the Intel C236 PCH, the X11SAT/X11SAT-F motherboard offers maximum
I/O expendability, energy efciency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and
is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing
platforms.
The Intel E3-12xx V5 and PCH C236 platform supports the following features:
• ACPI Power Management Logic Support, Rev. 4.0a
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Power Monitoring/Power Control, Turbo Time Parameter
(TAU), and Platform Power Control
• Congurable TDP (cTDP) and Lower-Power Mode
• Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
• PCI-E 3.0, SATA 3.0 w/transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s, xHCI USB w/SuperSpeed 3.0
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specication, Version 2.0
• Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)The BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and
the security package for enterprise platforms
• Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT)
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology
• Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SAT/X11SAT-F motherboard.
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 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.

20
X11SAT/X11SAT-F User's Manual
1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11SAT/X11SAT-F motherboard.
The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that
supports system health monitoring. 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 dene
the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can
adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings
of these voltage levels are all displayed in BIOS.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The system health monitor embedded in the BMC chip can check the RPM status of the
cooling fans. The CPU and chassis fans are controlled via lPMI.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors in the BMC monitor the temperatures and voltage settings of onboard
processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the temperature of
the CPU or the system exceeds a user-dened threshold, system/CPU cooling fans will be
turned on to prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate air-
ow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5®. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the
user of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you
with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds
go beyond a predened range.
1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication denes
a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power
management features throughout a computer 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.

21
Chapter 1: Introduction
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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows 8/R2, and Windows 2012/R2 operating systems.
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. 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.
1.7 Super I/O
The Super I/O provides 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 as well as an advanced speed with
baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI
or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
1.8 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.
Intel®Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)
Available when the Supermicro Power Manager (SPM) is installed, Intel's Intelligent Power
Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal control and power
management for maximum energy efciency. Although IPNM Specication Version 2.0/3.0
is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also have
IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM 2.0/3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in
the system.

22
X11SAT/X11SAT-F User's Manual
Management Engine (ME)
The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O Hub), provides
Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by SPS are different
from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

Installation
2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your
motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally
sufcient 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.
• 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 specied by the manufacturer. Do
not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in a possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking
the motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.

2.2 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 the motherboard and the 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.
Location of Mounting Holes
Note: 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 avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to
the chassis.
