Important:
• Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing or
changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the
CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional
heatsink only.
• Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.
• When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your
retailer immediately.

VGA/DVI-I Port
A VGA port and a DVI-I port are located next to DisplayPorts 1/2 on the I/O back panel. Use
these connections for VGA and DVI displays. The VGA connector is on top and the DVI is
on the bottom. The VGA port is for AST2400 BMC controller output. The DVI-I is from Intel
HD Graphics controller with digital and analog output capabilities.
DP (DisplayPort)
There are two DisplayPorts (Version 1.3) located on the rear I/O back panel. DisplayPort,
developed by the VESA consortium, delivers digital display and fast refresh rate. It can connect
to virtually any display using a DisplayPort adaptor for devices such as VGA, DVI, or HDMI.
The two DP ports provide Intel HD Graphics digital output with resolution up to 4096x2304
at 24bpp at 60Hz Refresh Rate.

Fan Headers
There are six 4-pin fan headers on the motherboard. Although pins 1-3 of the fan headers
are backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans, we recommend you use 4-pin fans to
take advantage of the fan speed control via Pulse Width Modulation through the BMC. This
allows the fan speeds to be automatically adjusted based on the motherboard temperature.

Troubleshooting
Before Power On
1. Check that the power LED on the motherboard is on.
2. Make sure that the power connector is connected to your power supply.
3. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis.
4. Disconnect all cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and
mouse.
6. Install a CPU, a heatsink*, and connect the internal speaker and the power LED to the
motherboard. Check all jumper settings as well. (Make sure that the heatsink is fully
seated.)
7. Use the correct type of onboard CMOS battery (CR2032) as recommended by the
manufacturer. To avoid possible explosion, do not install the CMOS battery upside down.
No Power
1. Make sure that no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chassis.
3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.
5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies
~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
59
X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F 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.
3. CPU integrated graphic (DVI, DP1/2) might have to be enabled in the BIOS setup.
Note: If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recom-
mended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to Appendix B.
• If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules installed. 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
contacting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). Refer to chapter 2.
2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make
sure that system power is on and that 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.
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that ECC memory is used for the Xeon E3-1200 v5 series processor and
Non-ECC mrmory is used for the Core i7/i5 processor.
2. Confirm that you are using the correct memory. Also, it is recommended that you use
the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2.4 for
memory details.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting
the results.
60
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies
~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
3. If the above steps do not fix the setup configuration problem, contact your vendor for
repairs.
2. Memory support: Make sure that the memory modules are supported by testing the
modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.
3. HDD support: Make sure that all hard disk drives (HDDs) work properly. Replace the
bad HDDs with good ones.
4. System cooling: Check the system cooling to make sure that all heatsink fans and CPU/
system fans, etc., work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings in the IPMI
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 it 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 the minimum power requirements.
6. Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.
B. If 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 and CD/DVD-ROM.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working
properly.
61
X11SSZ-TLN4F/QF/F User's Manual
5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several items at the
same time. This will help isolate and identify the problem.
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.
62
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website. Note: Not all BIOS can be
flashed depending on the modifications to the boot block code.
3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when contacting
us for technical support:
• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your system first
boots up)
• System configuration

Battery Removal
To remove the onboard battery, follow the steps below:
1. Power off your system and unplug your power cable.
3. Using a tool such as a pen or a small screwdriver, push the battery lock outwards to
unlock it. Once unlocked, the battery will pop out from the holder.
Battery Installation
1. To install an onboard battery, follow the steps 1 & 2 above and continue below:
2. Identify the battery's polarity. The positive (+) side should be facing up.
3. Insert the battery into the battery holder and push it down until you hear a click to
ensure that the battery is securely locked.
Important: When replacing a battery, be sure to only replace it with the same type.
