Preface
This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of the
X9DRD-7JLN4F/X9DRD-7LN4F motherboard.
About This Motherboard
The Super X9DRD-7JLN4F/X9DRD-7LN4F motherboard supports dual Intel E5-
2600 (Socket R) Series Processors that offer QPI (Intel QuickPath Interface)
Technology (V.1.1), providing point-to-point connection with a transfer speed of up
to 8.0 TG/s. With the C602J built in, the X9DRD-7JLN4F/-7LN4F motherboard sup-
ports Intel® Manageability Engine (ME), Rapid Storage Technology, Digital Media
Interface (DMI), PCI-E Gen. 3.0 and 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. This motherboard
is ideal for high-end server platforms. Please refer to our website (http://www.su-
permicro.com) for CPU and memory support updates.
Manual Organization

Warning!
To prevent damage to the power supply or the motherboard, please use a
power supply that contains a 24-pin, a 4-pin, and two 8-pin power connec-
tors. Be sure to connect the power supply to the 24-pin power connector
(JPW1), the 4-pin connector (JPW4), and the two 8-pin power connectors
(JPW2/3) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will void the manufac-
turer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.

1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of Intel E5-2600 Series (Socket
R) processors and the C602J chipset, the X9DRD-7JLN4F/-7LN4F motherboard
provides the performance and feature sets required for dual processor-based
HPC/Cluster/Database servers.
With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X9DRD-
7JLN4F/-7LN4F offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with a transfer
speed of up to 8.0 GT/s, providing superb system performance.
The C602J chipset provides extensive IO support, including the following func-
tions and capabilities:
•ACPI Power Management Logic Support, Rev. 4.0
•USB host interface with support of up to 9 connections
•Intel Rapid Storage Technology supported
•Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) supported
•Intel Trusted Execution Technology supported
•Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Supported
•Digital Media Interface (DMI) supported
•Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supported

1-3 Special Features
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.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the features of PC health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan voltages and power
usage continuously. 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.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitoring chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The
onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by rmware Thermal Management
via IPMI 2.0.
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-dened
threshold. The thermal management runs independently from the CPU. Once it
detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the ther-
mal 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 airow 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 congure SuperDoctor
