Motherboard Connections
This section describes the connections on the motherboard and provides pinout definitions.
Note that depending on how the system is configured, not all connections are required. The
LEDs on the motherboard are also described here. A severboard layout indicating component
locations may be found in Chapter 1.
Please review the Safety Precautions in Chapter 3 before installing or removing components.
4.1 Power Connections
SMCI-Propietary Power Connector
An SMCI-proprietary power connector is located at JHS1 on the motherboard. Connect an
appropriate power cable here to provide adequate power to your system.
4.2 Headers and Connectors
Onboard Fan Header
An onboard fan header (FAN3) is located next to COM port (COM1) on the motherboard.
This is a 4-pin fan header, which is backward compatible with a traditional 3-pin fan. The
onboard fan speed is controlled by Thermal Management (via Hardware Monitoring) in the
BIOS. When using Thermal Management setting, please use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans.

TPM Header
The JTPM1 header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)/Port 80, which is
available from a third-party vendor. The TPM/Port 80 connector is a security device that
supports encryption and authentication in hard drives. It allows the motherboard to deny
access if the TPM associated with the hard drive is not installed in the system. See the table
below for pin definitions.

I-SATA 3.0 and S-SATA 3.0 Ports
The X11DPT-PS has six I-SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0-3, I-SATA4/I-SATA5) and six S-SATA
(S-SATA0-5) on the motherboard. These SATA ports are supported by the Intel C621 chipset.
I-SATA0-3 are supported by CPU2 PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot on SXB2, and S-SATA0-5 are supported
by the CPU1 PCI-E 3.0 x8 slot on SXB1. I-SATA4/ I-SATA5 can be used with Supermicro
SuperDOMs, which are yellow SATA DOM connectors with power pins built in, and do not
require external power cables. Supermicro SuperDOMs are backward-compatible with regular
SATA HDDs or SATA DOMs that need external power cables. All these SATA ports provide
serial-link signal connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.
