Chapter 1: Introduction 1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx series processors (Socket P) and the Intel C621 chipset, the X11DPFR-S(N) motherboard provides system performance, power efficiency, and feature sets to address the needs of next-generation computer users.
X11DPFR-S(N) User's Manual 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.
Chapter 1: Introduction System Resource Alert This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5 . SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the ® user of certain system events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) ® Available when the Supermicro Power Manager (SPM) is installed, Intel's Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency. Although IPNM Specification Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
