H8DG6/i(-F) Serverboard User’s Manual1-3Chipset OverviewThe H8DG6/i(-F) serverboard is based on the AMD Dual SR5690 and one SP5100chipset. This chipset functions as a Media and Communications Processor (MCP).Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into AMD Opteronprocessors.AMD SR5690/SP5100 ProcessorThe AMD Dual SR5690 and one SP5100 are each a single-chip, high-performanceHyperTransport peripheral controller. It includes a 42-lane PCI Express interface, anAMD Opteron 16-bit Hyper Transport interface link, a six-port Serial ATA interfaceand an eight-port USB 2.0 interface. This hub connects directly to the CPU.HyperTransport TechnologyHyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency point to point link that wasdesigned to increase the communication speed by a factor of up to 48x betweenintegrated circuits. This is done partly by reducing the number of buses in thechipset to reduce bottlenecks and by enabling a more efficient use of memoryin multi-processor systems. The end result is a significant increase in bandwidthwithin the chipset.1-4PC Health MonitoringThis section describes the PC health monitoring features of the H8DG6/i(-F)serverboard. The serverboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip thatsupports PC health monitoring.Onboard Voltage MonitorsThe onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Oncea voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message tothe screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of thevoltage monitor. Real time readings of these voltage levels are all displayed inBIOS.Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software Speed ControlThe PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboardfans are controlled by thermal management via BIOS.1-10
Chapter 1: IntroductionCPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and ControlThis feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat/Fan Fail warningfunction in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. Whenthis temperature is exceeded or when a fan failure occurs, the Overheat/Fan Failwarning LED is triggered.Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU CoreThe 6-phase-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up toAMD Opteron 6100 series processors and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 0.8V to 1.55V. This will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the systemmore stable.1-5Power Configuration SettingsThis section describes the features of your motherboard that deal with power andpower settings.Microsoft OnNowThe OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to systemand device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appearsto be off and responds immediately to user or other requests.Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State IndicatorWhen the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinkingto indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, theCPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.BIOS Support for USB KeyboardIf a USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normalkeyboard during system boot-up.Note: To wake up the system from an S4 state by the USB keyboard/mouse, pleaseconnect the keyboard/mouse to USB port 0/1 at the rear I/O side.1-11
H8DG6/i(-F) Serverboard User’s ManualMain Switch Override MechanismThe power button can function as a system suspend button. When the userdepresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitorwill be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power buttonagain will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the powersupply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case thesystem malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold thepower button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be providedto the motherboard.Wake-On-LAN (WOL)Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotelypower up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and accesstracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffic is keptto a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that hasWOL capability. Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in BIOS.1-6Power SupplyAs with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper andreliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPUclock rates.The H8DG6/i(-F) serverboard requires the use of proprietary power supplies. Pleaserefer to the pinout information for the power connectors in Section 7 of Chapter 2for detailed information on power requirements.In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install aline filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also installa power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.Warning: To prevent the possibility of explosion, do not use the wrong type ofonboard CMOS battery or install it upside down.1-12
Chapter 1: Introduction1-7Super I/OThe disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O Winbond BMC chip includes adata separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection,a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. Thewide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the numberof components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives.The Super I/O provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communicationports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UARTincludes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator,complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTsprovide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advancedspeed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speedmodems.The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configurationand Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power managementthrough a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reducepower consumption.The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be flexibly adjustedto meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced PowerManagement).1-13
Chapter 2: InstallationChapter 2Installation2-1Static-Sensitive DevicesElectrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To preventdamage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The followingmeasures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.Precautions Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistaticbag.Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheralchips, memory modules or gold contacts.When handling chips or mo
