1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
Basic I/O System (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 press the power
switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See
the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is
Last State.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have
an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU
Vcore, 3.3V, 3.3VSB, PCH 1.05V, 12V, AVCC, 5V, V_DIMM, and Battery voltages.
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 define the sensitivity
of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans.
The onboard CPU and 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 a user-defined
threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the ther-
mal 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.

is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also
configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds.
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
way 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.
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 a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008
Operating Systems.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink
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.
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.
This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are
inadequate. In addition, the 12V 4-pin power connector located at JPW2 is also
required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply
must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: 1. To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a
power supply that contains a 24-pin and a 4-pin power connectors. Be sure to con-
nect these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the 4-pin (JPW2) power connectors
on the motherboard. Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your
power supply and motherboard.

X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L User’s Manual
2. To provide adequate power to SATA devices, please connect the SATA
DOM PWR connector (JSD1) to the power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, 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 Super I/O
The Super I/O supports 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 Configuration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.

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 fas-
teners, 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.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Pin Definitions
The X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L has four fan headers
(Fan 1-Fan 4). These fans are 4-pin fan head-
ers. Although pins 1-3 of the fan headers are
backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin
fans, we recommend the use 4-pin fans to take
advantage of the fan speed control. This allows
the fan speeds to be automatically adjusted
based on the motherboard temperature. Refer

2-8 Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, jumpers can be used to choose
between optional settings. Jumpers create
shorts between two pins to change the
function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified
with a square solder pad on the printed
circuit board.
Note: On two-pin jumpers,
"Closed" means the jumper is on,
and "Open" means the jumper is
off the pins.

Troubleshooting
3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures
Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all
of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support
Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter.
Always disconnect the AC power cord before adding, changing or installing any
hardware components.
Before Power On
1. Make sure that the Standby PWR LED is not on. (Note: If it is on, the
onboard power is on. Be sure to unplug the power cable before installing or
removing the components.)
2. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and
chassis.
3. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for
the keyboard and mouse. Also, be sure to remove all add-on cards.
4. Install a CPU and heatsink (-be sure that it is fully seated) and then connect
the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper
settings as well.
No Power
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and
chassis.
2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Check if the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.
4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.
5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to make sure that it still
supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
3-1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L User’s Manual
No Video
1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re-
move all the add-on cards and cables first.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A
for details on beep codes.)
3. Remove all memory modules and turn on the system. (If the alarm is on,
check the specifications of memory modules, reset the memory or try a differ-
ent one.)
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in
the slots.
2. You should be using unbuffered Non-ECC DDR3 (1.5V) 1600/1333 MHz
memory recommended by the manufacturer. Also, it is recommended that you
use the memory modules of the same type and speed for all DIMMs in the
system. Do not use memory modules of different sizes, different speeds and
different types on the same motherboard.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to
see if you can locate the faulty ones.
4. Check the switch of 115V/230V power supply.
Losing the System’s Setup Configuration
1. Please be sure to use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power sup-
ply may cause the system to lose CMOS setup information. Refer to Section
1-5 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.
3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your
vendor for repairs.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
3-2 Technical Support Procedures
Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all
the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro
does not sell directly to end users, so it is best to first check with your distributor or
reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)
with the specific system configuration that was sold to you.
1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked
Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our website
(http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/) before contacting Technical Sup-
port.
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website at (http://www.supermi-
cro.com/support/bios/).
Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed. Some cannot be flashed; it depends
on the boot block code of the BIOS.
3. If you've followed the instructions above to troubleshoot your system, and still
cannot resolve the problem, then contact Supermicro's technical support and
provide them with the following information:
•
•
Motherboard model and PCB revision number
BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your
system first boots up)
•
•
System configuration
An example of a Technical Support form is on our website at (http://www.su-
permicro.com/support/contact.cfm).
4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number
ready when placing a call to our technical support department. We can be
reached by e-mail at [email protected], by phone at: (408) 503-
8000, option 2, or by fax at (408)503-8019.
3-3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L supports unbuffered Non-ECC DDR3 SDRAM
(1.5V, 1600/1333 MHz). See Section 2-4 for details on installing memory.

X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L User’s Manual
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: We do NOT recommend that you upgrade your BIOS if you are not
experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on
our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS
warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web
site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM file to your
computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than
your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip file or the .exe file. If you
choose the zipped BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable device or
a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch file named "ami.bat" with
the new BIOS ROM file from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive. Use
the following format:
F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-filename.xxx <Enter>
Note: Always use the file named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert
a space between "ami.bat" and the filename. The BIOS-ROM-filename
will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L) and build ver-
sion as the extension. For example, "X10SLQ.115". When completed, your
system will automatically reboot.
If you choose the .exe file, please run the .exe file under Windows to create
the BIOS flash floppy disk. Insert the floppy disk into the system you wish
to flash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the floppy disk. The BIOS util-
ity will automatically flash the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that
this process may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if
the screen is paused for a few minutes.
When the BIOS flashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and
will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS
defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to
load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system
will then reboot.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
possible system boot failure!
Important: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not re-
movable. To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your
motherboard to RMA at Supermicro for service.
Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS?
Answer: Please see Appendix C-BIOS Recovery for detailed instructions.
Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
3-4
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
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,
security programs, and audio drivers.
Question: Why do I get an error message “IASTOR.SYS read error” and "press F6
to install Intel RAID driver" when installing Windows on my motherboard?
Answer: To solve this issue, disable the IPMI jumper when an IPMI jumper is
available on the motherboard. Another solution is to use a USB floppy drive instead
of the onboard floppy drive. For the IPMI jumper location, please check Chapter 1.
Question: What is the heatsink part number for my X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L mother-
board?
Answer: For the 1U passive heatsink, ask for SNK-P0046P (back plate is included).
For the 2U active heatsink, use SNK-P0046A4.
Question: Why can't I recover the BIOS even when I’ve followed the instructions
in the user’s manual for the motherboard?
Answer: Please disable the IPMI jumper and try it again. For the jumper location,
please check Chapter 1.

Chapter 4
BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SLQ (-L). The ROM
BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter de-
scribes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.
Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery
Instructions in Appendix C.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>, <F2>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow
keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

How to Start the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of
the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens. An AMI BIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of
the screen, below the copyright message.
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event
shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential dam-
ages arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down
or reset the system while the BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.

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
with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to bootup. If a fatal error oc-
curs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the

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

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery
Appendix C
UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall
Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
arising from a BIOS update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset
the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.
C-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification provides a software-
based interface between the operating system and the platform firmware in the
pre-boot environment. The UEFI specification supports an architecture-independent
mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored
in the add-on card, to boot up the system. UEFI offers a clean, hand-off control to
a computer system at bootup.
C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (the Main
BIOS Block)
A UEF BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, which consists of two
boot blocks and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains
critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user
to flash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the
system power is on, the boot block codes execute first. Once it is completed, the
main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.
Note: Follow the BIOS Recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery
when the main BIOS block crashes. However, when the BIOS Boot block
crashes, you will need to follow the procedures in Appendix A.
C-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB-
Attached Device
This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device
without additional utilities used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or
a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB
Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.

Appendix D: Dual Boot Block
Appendix D
Dual Boot Block
D-1 Introduction
This motherboard supports the Dual Boot Block feature, which is the last-ditch
mechanism to recover the BIOS boot block. This section provides an introduction
to the feature.
BIOS Boot Block
A BIOS boot block is the minimum BIOS loader required to enable necessary
hardware components for the BIOS crisis recovery flash that will update the main
BIOS block. An on-call BIOS boot-block corruption may occur due to a software
tool issue (see image below) or an unexpected power outage during BIOS updates.
BIOS Boot Block Corruption Occurrence
When a BIOS boot block is corrupted due to an unexpected power outage or a
software tool malfunctioning during BIOS updates, you can still reboot the system
by closing pins 2 and 3 using a cap on Jumper JBR1. When JBR1 is set to pins
2 and 3, the system will boot from a backup boot block pre-loaded in the BIOS by
the manufacturer.
