Chapter 1: Introduction Chipset Overview The X10SRL-F supports a single Intel ® E5-2600/1600 Series Processor in an LGA2011 R3 socket. Built upon the functionality and the capability of the Intel ® C612 Express chipset, the motherboard provides substantial enhancement to system performance and storage capability for high performance platforms in a sleek package.
X10SRL-F 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 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.
X10SRL-F User’s Manual Super I/O The Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
The following statements are industry-standard warnings, provided to warn the user of situations which have the potential for bodily injury. Should you have questions or experience difficulty, contact Supermicro's Technical Support department for assis- tance. Only certified technicians should attempt to install or configure components.

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.
X10SRL-F User’s Manual Installing the Motherboard 1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis. 2. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. (See the previous page.) 3. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately. • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support. Installing the LGA2011 Processor 1. There are two load levers on the LGA2011 socket. To open the socket cover, first press and release the load lever labeled 'Open 1st'.
