C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User’s Manual
The GMCH supports one or two channels of DDR2 memory with up to two DIMMs
per channel with a maximum bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s in asymmetric mode or 12.8
GB/s in symmetric mode using DDR2 800 MHz memory. It also supports an op-
portunistic refresh scheme, a memory thermal management scheme and Partial
Writes to Memory using Data Mask (DM) signals.
The GMCH contains one PCI-Express x16 (16-lane) port intended for an external
PCI-Express graphics card that is compatible with the PCI Express Base Specifica-
tion revision 1.1. This PCI-E x16 port runs at a frequency of 2.5 GB/s on each lane
and supports a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 40 GB/s in each direction for
an aggregate of 8 GB/s @ x16. It supports traditional PCI-/AGP- style traffic and a
PCI-Exp. Enhanced Addressing Mechanism with advanced capabilities in automatic
discovery, negotiation and training of link out of reset.
Providing the high-speed, chip-to-chip connection between the GMCH and ICH9/
ICH9R is the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The DMI integrates advanced priority-
based servicing, allowing for concurrent traffic, true isochronous transfer capabilities
and permitting current as well as legacy software to function seamlessly.

C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User’s Manual
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotely
power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and asset
tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffic is kept
to 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 has
WOL capability. In addition, an onboard LAN controller can also support WOL
without any connection to the WOL header. The 3-pin WOL header is to be used
with a LAN add-on card only.
Note: Wake-On-LAN requires an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specification 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V
4-pin power connection (J41) be used for high-load configurations. In areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield
the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge
protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with the ACPI (Advanced Configura-
tion and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power man-
agement through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.

Installation
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. Touch a
grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in
use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specified by the manu-
facturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explo-
sion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
Note: Be sure to mount the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU onto the motherboard.
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. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.
(Caution: 1. Please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting
screw during motherboard installation. 2. Some components are very close to the
mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to prevent damage to these
components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.)

C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (See step 1).
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMM1A.
The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at a time,
beginning with DIMM1A, DIMM1B, then, DIMM2A and DIMM2B
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along
the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat for all modules (See step 1 above).
Memory Support
The C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE supports up to 8 GB Unbuffered Non-
ECC DDR2 800/677 MHz in 4 DIMMs. Populating DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or
DIMM#2A, DIMM#2B with memory modules of the same size and of the same
type will result in dual channel, two-way interleaved memory which is faster than
the single channel, non-interleaved memory.
Notes:
1. Due to the OS limitations, some operating systems may not show more than 4
GB of memory.
2. Both Unbuffered ECC and Non-ECC memory modules can be installed in the
memory slots. However, the functionality of ECC is not supported by the
chipset.
3. Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory remaining available for
operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction
in memory availability is disproportional. (Refer to the following Memory
Availability Table for details.) For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft imple-
mented a design change in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and
Windows Vista. This change is specific to the Physical Address Extension
(PAE) mode behavior which improves driver compatibility. For more informa-
tion, please read the following article at Microsoft’s Knowledge Base website

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent the 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: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system, remove
the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Troubleshooting
Before Power On
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chas-
sis.
2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the
keyboard and mouse.
3. Remove all add-on cards.
4. Install a CPU and heatsink (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the
chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. Check all jumper
settings as well.
5. Use the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specified by the Manufacturer.
Do not install the CMOS battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.
6. Make sure that the 4-pin 12v power connector at J41 is connected to your
power supply.
No Power
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chas-
sis.
2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

Question: Why does Microsoft Windows XP (SP2) and Windows Vista show
less memory than what is physically installed?
Answer: 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 web site 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. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS (.rom) file to
your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure that it is
newer than your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip file or the
.exe file. If you choose the zipped BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto a
bootable device or a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch
file named "flash.bat" with the new BIOS .rom file from your bootable device or
USB pen/thumb drive. Use the following format:
Note: Be sure to insert a space immediately after "flash" and use only the file
named “flash.bat” to update the BIOS.

C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual
When completed, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe
file, please run the .exe file under Windows to create the BIOS flash floppy disk.
Insert the floppy disk into the system you wish to flash the BIOS. Then, boot
the system to the floppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically flash the BIOS
without any prompts. Please note that this process may take a few minutes to
complete. Do not be concerned if the screen is paused for a few minutes.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent possible system boot failure!
When the BIOS flashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and will
show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS defaults.
Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to load the default
settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system will then reboot.
Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable. To
repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard to RMA
at Supermicro for service.
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that
will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and
install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers,
security and audio drivers.
Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS
only detect about 3.145 GB of memory during POST?
Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E
memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located
around the 4GB memory address.

BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the C2SBA+II/
C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE. The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and
can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added
or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual
Download area of the Super Micro web site <http://www.supermicro.com> for any
changes to the BIOS not reflected in this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM ® PC, XT™, AT®, and
PS/2 ® compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters,
types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory re-
quires very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery
provides power to the CMOS logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each
time the computer is powered on, the computer is configured with the values stored
in the CMOS logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot-up.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS
to prevent possible boot failure.

CPU1 Temperature
The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected
by the BIOS:
4-19
C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual
Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature
is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will
run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and
generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU
is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’.
The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU
fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Tem-
perature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm:
The Default Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will activate if the High
condition continues for some time after it is reached. The CPU fan will run at full
speed to bring the CPU temperature down. If the CPU temperature still increases
even with the CPU fan running at full speed, the system buzzer will activate and
the Overheat LED will turn on.
The Early Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will be activated exactly
when the High level is reached. The CPU fan will run at full speed to bring the
CPU temperature down.
Note: In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below.
See CPU Overheat Alarm to modify the above alarm settings.
User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take
action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room
temperature to correct any problems. Note: the system may shut down if it con-
tinues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU.
Notes: The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures
(Celsius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by
Intel in its newer processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded
by unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This
‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned
at the factory and is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action
during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan
speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different
‘Temperature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to
the motherboard what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way
around. This results in better CPU thermal management.

of creating methods for RAID 0 and RAID 1.
The following table gives examples of when each is appropriate.
Raid Level Create Via When Appropriate
RAID 0 No Init Creating a RAID 0 on new drives
RAID 0 Migrate Creating a RAID 0 from one new drive and
(*Note) one drive with data you wish to preserve
RAID 1 Build1 Any time you wish to create a RAID 1, but especially if
you have data on one drive that you wish to preserve
RAID 1 Clear Creating a RAID 1 on new drives, or when you want to
ensure that the array contains no data after creation.
RAID 1 Quick Fastest way to create a RAID 1.
Appropriate when using new drives
RAID 1 Init
Note: If you select Migrate for RAID 0, or Build for RAID 1, you will be asked to
select the source drive. The contents of the source drive will be preserved. How-
ever, the data on the new drive will be lost.

5. When you are finished, press <Done> (as the screen shown below).
Notes:
1. Before adding a new drive to an array, be sure to back up any data stored on
the new drive; otherwise, all data will be lost.
2. If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1, you can restart it by press-
ing <Ctrl> and <R>.
3. If you've used the Quick Init option to create a RAID1, it may return some
data mis-comparison when you run a consistency check at a later time. This is
normal.
4. The Adaptec Host RAID allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID.
However, you can only select a smaller drive as the source or first drive during
a build operation.
5. When migrating from single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to
a smaller drive is allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least half the
capacity of the source drive.
Warning: Do not interrupt the process when you create a RAID 0 using the Migrate
option. If you do, you will not be able to restart the system, or to recover the data
that was on the source drive.
