Note 1: The CPU maximum thermal design power (TDP) is subject to chassis and heatsink cooling restrictions. For proper thermal management, please check the chas- sis and heatsink specifications for proper CPU TDP sizing. Note 2: For IPMI configuration instructions, please refer to the Embedded IPMI Con- figuration User's Guide available at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E3-1200 v5 series processors (Socket LGA 1151) and the Intel C232 PCH, the X11SSL-CF/-nF motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.4 System Health Monitoring This motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports system health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and battery continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen.
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. The X11SSL-CF/-nF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.
