B1SD1-TF Motherboard User Manual 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.
Chapter 1: Introduction 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.

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.

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.
B1SD1-TF Motherboard User Manual 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 different one.)
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 B1SD1-TF motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC VLP RDIMM memory of speeds up to 2400MHz. See Section 2-4 for details on install- ing 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.
