X10SLM-F/X10SLL-F/X10SLL-SF/X10SLL-S User’s 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 System Resource Alert This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor® III in the Windows OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds.

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.
X10SLM-F/X10SLL-F/X10SLL-SF/X10SLL-S User’s Manual No Video 1. If the power is on, but you have no video--in this case, you will need to re- move all the add-on cards and cables first. 2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. (Refer to Appendix A for details on beep codes.)
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.
Answer: We do NOT recommend that you upgrade your BIOS if you are not experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site.
Important: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not re- movable. To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard to RMA at Supermicro for service. Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS? Answer: Please see Appendix C-BIOS Recovery for detailed instructions.
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.
