CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such
as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.
Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
Note 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.

3-1
X9DR3-F/X9DRi-F Motherboard User’s Manual
No Video
1. If the power is on, but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and
cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A
for details on beep codes.
• If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules in-
stalled. If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only
one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. If there is still no error beep, replace
the motherboard.
• If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power
cord and contracting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to
Section 2-8 in Chapter 2.)
2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM mod-
ules. Make sure that the system's power is on, and memory error beeps are
activated.
3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system
boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors
Troubleshooting procedure in this Chapter.
2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup-
plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Memory Errors
When a No-Memory Beep Code is issued by the system, check the following:
1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that
the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,
refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our Website @ http://www.
supermicro.com.)
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of DDR3 Registered/Load
Reduced ECC or Unbuffered ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 DIMM modules recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among
all memory slots and check the results.
5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the
instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.
6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.
1. CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported, and you have the
latest BIOS installed in your system.
2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by test-
ing the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.
3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Re-
place the bad HDDs with good ones.
3-3
X9DR3-F/X9DRi-F Motherboard User’s Manual
4. System cooling: Check system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans,
and CPU/system fans, etc., work properly. Check Hardware Monitoring set-
tings in the BIOS to make sure that the CPU and System temperatures are
within the normal range. Also check the front panel Overheat LED, and make
sure that the Overheat LED is not on.
5. Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate
power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected.
Please refer to our website for more information on minimum power require-
ment.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.
When the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the
following:
1. Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are
working properly, including boot devices such as CD/DVD disc, CD/DVD-
ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and
working properly.
6. To find out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to
see if the system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad.
You can also install the component in question in another system. If the new
system works, the component is good and the old system has problems.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
It is recommended that you do not 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. Please check our BIOS warning message and the
information on how to update your BIOS on our website. Select your motherboard
model and download the BIOS file to your computer. Also, check the current BIOS
revision to make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before downloading. You can
choose from the zip file and the .exe file. If you choose the zip BIOS file, please
unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable USB device. Run the batch file using the format
AMI.bat filename.rom from your bootable USB device to flash the BIOS. Then, your
system will automatically reboot.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
possible system boot failure!
Note: The SPI BIOS chip used on this motherboard cannot be removed.
Send your motherboard back to our RMA Department at Supermicro for
repair. For BIOS Recovery instructions, please refer to the AMI BIOS

Chapter 4
BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DR3-F/X9DRi-F. It also
provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. 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. The manufacturer
retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text mes-
sages.
The AMI BIOS Setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2: <F3> is used to lad optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save
the current settings and exit the setup utility.
