1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of Intel E5-2600(v2) Series Proces-
sors (Socket R LGA 2011) and the C602 chipset, the X9DRX+-F 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 X9DRX+-F
offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with a transfer speed of up to
8.0 GT/s, providing superb system performance.
The C602 chipset provides extensive IO support, including the following functions
and capabilities:
•PCI-Express Rev. 2.0 support
•PCI-Express Gen. 3 uplink supported by some SKUs
•ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 3.0b or Rev. 4.0
•USB host interface backplane and front access support
•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
Note: For Intel E5-2600(v2) processor support, BIOS version 3.0 or
above is required.

X9DRX+-F Motherboard User’s Manual
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 the following onboard
voltages continuously:1.8V, +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V Standby, Memory Voltage, Chipset
Voltage, and Battery 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
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 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 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
to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.
