Overclocking Considerations
Please be aware of the following conditions when "overclocking" is used: Setting
a high CPU FSB Speed (overclocking), DRAM Frequency or selecting a high CPU
V-Core voltage, memory voltage, chipset voltage, ICH chipset voltage, or the FSB
termination voltage may result in system instability. If this occurs, revert the setting
to the default setting. In addition, extra fans may be needed for proper system cool-
ing. The C2SEA/C2SEE offers the option of "overclocking"; however, Supermicro is
not responsible for any damage caused by the use of overclocking.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-2 Chipset Overview
The Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset is specially designed for use with Intel Core
2™ Extreme/Core Quad/Core Duo LGA 775 processors. It consists of two primary
components: the Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), and the I/O Con-
troller Hub (ICH10). The GMCH manages the data flow between the CPU interface,
the System Memory interface, the External Graphics interface (or PCI-Express
Interface), and the I/O Controller through the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The
ICH10 provides a multitude of I/O related functions.
Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
Utilizing a single LGA 775 socket processor, the G45/G43 GMCH supports an FSB
frequency of 1333/1066/800 MHz. Host-initiated I/O cycles are decoded to the
PCI-Express, the DMI, or the GMCH configuration space. Host-initiated memory
cycles are decoded to PCI-Express, DMI or system memory. Memory accesses
initiated from PCI-Express will be snooped on the host bus between DMI to sys-
tem SDRAM. The GMCH supports one or two channels of DDR3 controller with a
maximum of two DIMMs per channel.
Direct Media Interface (DMI)
Providing the high-speed, chip-to-chip connection between the GMCH and ICH10
is the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The DMI integrates advanced priority-based
servicing, allowing for concurrent traffic, true isochronous transfer capabilities and
permitting current as well as legacy software to work normally.
Intel ICH10 System Features
The Intel I/O Controller Hub (ICH10) supports a variety of I/O related functions and
PCI devices, including the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
DMI-to PCI Bridge
LPC Controller
SATA Controllers #1 and #2
Thermal Subsystem
SMBus Controller
USB FS/LS UHCI Controllers #1, #2 and #3

C2SEA/C2SEE User’s Manual
1-3 Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine 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 hit the power switch to turn it back
on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control
setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-
ting is Power-Off.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the C2SEA/C2SEE.
The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC
health monitoring.
The onboard voltage monitor will scan the Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU
Core, +1.8V, +3.3V, +5V standby, +5V, Vbat and ±12V continuously. 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 define the sensitivity of the voltage moni-
tor by using SuperO Doctor III.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica-
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
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 peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard
disk drives and printers. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC
such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI pro-
vides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating- sys-
tem-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003,
Windows 2003 Servers.
Enhanced Power Management
The onboard ICH10 chip provides advanced power management functions that will
greatly improve the performance of various low-power (suspend) states and en-
hance clock control. A hardware-based component provides software-independent
thermal management that is compatible with the ACPI Revision 3.0a.

Chapter 1: Introduction
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.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal
keyboard during system boot-up.
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotely
power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and asset
tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffic is kept
to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header
(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has
WOL capability. In addition, an onboard LAN controller can also support WOL
without any connection to the WOL header. The 3-pin WOL header is to be used
with a LAN add-on card only.
Note: Wake-On-LAN requires an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power
supply.
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 of 1 GHz and faster.
The
C2SEA/C2SEE accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some
are inadequate. A 2A of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specification 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V
8-pin power connection be used for the system to work properly. In areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter 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 Versatile Media Capabilities
High-Definition Audio and HDMI Connections
The High-Definition Audio Controller, embedded in the ICH10, delivers up to four
codecs, supporting different types of codecs. Operating at 3.3V or 1.5V, the embed-
ded Audio Controller supports a multi-channel audio stream, 32-bit sample depth, up
to 192 kHz of same rate, and can be used with a variety of microphones for input. In
addition to the HD Audio connection, the C2SEA also includes a High-Definition Mul-
timedia Interface (HDMI) connector on the motherboard. This connector transmits
digital signals, providing superb multimedia interface support. With these versatile
audio and video capabilities built in, this motherboard provides the user with a state
of the art audio/video experience that is larger than life.
I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d)
With the Intel ICH10 built in, the C2SEA/C2SEE supports I/O Virtualization
Technology (VT-d) that enables multiple operating systems and applications to
run in independent partitions. Each partition uses its own subset of host physical
memory, and behaves like a virtual machine (VM), providing isolation and protection
across multiple partitions. This feature is available when a processor that supports
the virtualization of platforms is installed on the motherboard.
1-8 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a data separator,
write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera-
tor, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of
functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components
required for interfacing with floppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two 360 K,
720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s,
500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.
It also 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 sys-
tem. 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

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent dam-
age to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient 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 your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specified by the manu-
facturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explo-
sion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
2-2 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit 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
fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the mother-
board 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. Note: 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.

2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area of the fan.
Notes:
1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you
install the processor into the CPU LGA 775 socket before you install the
CPU heatsink.
2. The Intel LGA 775 Processor package contains the CPU fan and heat-
sink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only
Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink and fan.
4. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install
the CPU heatsink and fan.
5. When receiving a motherboard with an LGA 775 Processor pre-installed,
make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU pins
are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately. Refer to the MB
Features Section for more details on CPU support.

shipped with the PnP cap properly
installed to protect the CPU socket
pins. Shipment without the PnP cap
properly installed will cause dam-
age to the socket pins.

Installing the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan on the mother-
board. (Refer to the layout on the right
for the CPU Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink in such a way
that the heatsink fan wires are closest
to the CPU fan and are not interfered
with other components.
3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make
sure that the wires are routed through
the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the protec-
tive film from the copper core of the
heatsink.
Thermal Grease
Warning: CPU overheating may
occur if the protective film is not
removed from the heatsink.
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal
grease on the CPU.
CPU
Note: if your heatsink came with
a thermal pad, please ignore
this step.)
Fan Wires
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires
to make sure that the wires are not
pinched between the heatsink and the
CPU. Also make sure to keep clear-
ance between the fan wires and the
fins of the heatsink.

2-4 Installing DIMMs
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
Warning: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing
DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that
the memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM1A, DIMM2A, then, DIMM1B and DIMM2B
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along
the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
TheC2SEAmotherboardsupportsupto8GBUnbufferednon-ECCDDR3@1066/800
MHz in 4 DIMMs, and the C2SEE board supports up to 4 GB Unbuffered non-ECC
DDR3@1066/800 MHz in 2 DIMMs.
Populating DIMM1A,DIMM2A, and/or DIMM1B, DIMM2B with memory modules of
the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel, two-way interleaved
memory which is faster than the single channel, non-interleaved memory.
Notes:
1. Due to the OS limitations, some operating systems may not show
more than 4GB of memory.
2. Both Unbuffered ECC and non-ECC memory modules can be installed
in the memory slots. However, the functionality of ECC is not supported
by the chipset.
3. Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory remaining avail-
able for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The
reduction in memory availability is disproportional. (Refer to the following
Memory Availability Table for details.)

Front Panel Audio Control
FP Audio
Pin Definitions
When front panel headphones are plugged in,
the back panel audio output is disabled. This is
done through the FP Audio header (J12). If the
front panel interface card is not connected to
the front panel audio header, jumpers should be
installed on the header (J12) pin pairs: 1-2, 5-6,
and 9-10. If these jumpers are not installed, the
backpanellineoutconnectorwillbedisabledand
microphone input Pin 1 will be left floating, which
can lead to excessive back panel microphone
noise and cross talk. See the table below for

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent the 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: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord and then close pins 1 and 2 to clear
CMOS.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.
5. 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.
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.
Note: If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card
is recommended.
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. You should be using unbuffered DDR3 memory (see the next page). Also, it
is recommended that you use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the
system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots
and noting the results.
4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.
Losing the System’s Setup Configuration
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 1-6 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.

C2SEA/C2SEE User's Manual
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: It is recommended that you not upgrade your BIOS if you are not expe-
riencing problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on our web
message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Also,
check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your current BIOS
before downloading. Select your mainboard model and download the BIOS file to
your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and follow the readme.txt to flash the
BIOS.
Also, the SPI BIOS chip used in the motherboard cannot be removed. To repair or
replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard back to our RAM
department.
Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will
greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the
applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for Windows
and security and audio drivers.
Question: How do I utilize the onboard HD sound?
Answer: The onboard HD sound available on the C2SEA/C2SEE can be enabled
with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard package. When
activated, sound will be routed through the jacks next to the LAN Port according
to the audio connection descriptions listed on Page 2-8. You must also set the HD
Audio setting to "Auto" in the Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS setup.
Question: I installed my microphone correctly, but I can't record any sound.
What should I do?
Answer: Go to <Start>, <Programs>, <Accessories>, <Entertainment> and then
<Volume Control>. Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of devices in the
menu and check the box beside "Microphone".
Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS
only detect about 3.145 GB of memory during POST?
Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E
memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located around
the 4GB memory address.
Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)?
Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with your
system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be used
to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect the blue
connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s) to your hard

BIOS Error Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time
the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue
the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up
procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufac-
turer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The numbers on the fatal error list, on the following page, correspond to the num-
ber of beeps for the corresponding error.

C-2 Configuring Supero Doctor III
The Supero Doctor III program is a Web-base management tool that supports
remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.
The local management is called the SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program
included on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor
the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial
system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See
the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.
Note 1: Both default user name and password are ADMIN.
Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings
take precedence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero
Doctor III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the
BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within
Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For
the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please
change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.
