Chapter 1: Introduction Processor Overview The Intel ® Xeon D-1500 Series processor is a low-powered 64-bit SoC (System-on- a-Chip) processor that is optimized to deliver high performance, energy efficiency, and enhances the total cost of ownership solutions. The low-power consumption of the processor makes it suitable for microservers that can effectively take on hyperscale workloads, intelligent edge network or ultra-dense embedded devices.
Environmental Temperature Control The X10SDV Flex ATX Series motherboard comes with a passive or active heatsink built in. Please follow the instructions given in your system design guide or your system user manual to provide adequate airflow to your system. The onboard Base- Board Management Controller (BMC) monitors CPU, memory and motherboard environment temperatures for fan control and PC health management.
Windows ® 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008 operating systems. The X10SDV series motherboards support S0, S4 and S5 only. Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation.
The following statements are industry-standard warnings, provided to warn the user of situations which have the potential for bodily injury. Should you have questions or experience difficulty, contact Supermicro's Technical Support department for assis- tance. Only certified technicians should attempt to install or configure components.

Chapter 2: Installation 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 fas- teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chassis.
X10SDV Flex ATX Series Motherboard User’s Manual Installing the Motherboard 1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis. 2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. See the previous page. 3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.
Chapter 2: Installation Memory Support The X10SDV Flex ATX Series motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM or 64GB of DDR4 ECC/Non-ECC UDIMM with speeds up to 2133MHz in four memory slots. Populating these DIMM slots with memory modules of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.
X10SDV Flex ATX Series Motherboard User’s Manual Memory Installation Guidelines When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, then DIMMA2, DIMMB2. • Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed. Mixing memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 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.
2. You should be using either DDR4 ECC RDIMM or ECC/Non-ECC UDIMM up to 2133MHz memory recommended by Supermicro. Also, it is required that you use the memory modules of the same type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support? Answer: The X10SDV Flex ATX Series motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM or 64GB of DDR4 ECC/Non-ECC UDIMM memory of speeds up to 2133MHz. See Section 2-4 for details on installing memory.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Battery Removal and Installation Battery Removal To remove the onboard battery, follow the steps below: 1. Power off your system and unplug your power cable. 2. Locate the onboard battery as shown below. 3. Using a tool such as a pen or a small screwdriver, push the battery lock out- wards to unlock it.
You can obtain service by calling your vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. For faster service, you may also obtain RMA authorizations online (http://www.supermicro. com/RmaForm/). When you return the motherboard to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried.
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".
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.
