Chapter 1: Introduction
The Intel X38/X48 Chipset is specially designed for use with Intel® Core™2 Ex-
treme, Quad, or Duo processors in the LGA775 Land Grid Array Package and the
ICH9R-based workstations. It consists of three primary components: the Memory
Controller Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH9R) and the PXH-V chip.
(For more information regarding the X38/X48 chipset, please refer to Intel's web
site @ http://www.intel.com.)

Chapter 1: Introduction
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, updates 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. 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.
1-13
C2SBX/C2SBX+ User’s Manual
With the Intel ICH9R built in, the C2SBX/C2SBX+ supports I/O Virtualization Tech-
nology (VT-d) that enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in
independent partitions. Each partition uses its own subset of host physical memory
and behaves like a virtual machine (VM), providing isolation and protection across
multiple partitions. This feature is available when a processor that supports the
virtualization of platforms is installed on the motherboard.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with the Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface (ACPI), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power
management through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power man-
agement 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.
• 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
manufacturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible
explosions.
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: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
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. 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.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the memory 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
1. Due to the OS limitations, some operating systems may not show more than
4 GB of memory.

pages for jumper locations. Note:
On two pin jumpers, "Closed" means
the jumper is on the pins, and "Open"
means the jumper is off the pins.

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.

allow you to "wake up" the system by pressing a
key on the USB keyboard or by clicking the USB
mouse of your system. The JPUSB jumpers are
used together with the USB Wake-Up function in
the BIOS. See the table on the right for jumper set-
tings and jumper connections. Note: JPUSB1 is for
Back Panel USB ports: 0/1/2/3/4/5, and JPUSB2 USB Wake-Up Enable
Jumper Settings
is for Front Panel USB ports: 6/7/8/9/10/11.

feature is enabled in the BIOS, and the selected
USB ports are also enabled via the JPUSB jump-
ers, please be sure to remove all other USB
devices from the USB ports whose USB jumpers
are set to Disabled before the system goes into

sis.
2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the
keyboard and mouse.
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. Make sure the 8-pin 12v power connector at J42 is connected to your power
supply.
No Power
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and chas-
sis.
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 sup-
plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
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.
3-1
C2SBX/C2SBX+ User's Manual
NOTE
If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics
card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B.
Memory Errors
1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. You should be using unbuffered DDR3 memory (see the next page.) Also, it
is recommended that you use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the
system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations.
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and
noting the results.
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.
3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your
vendor for repairs.
Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed; it depends on the modifications to the boot block
code.
3-2
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when
contacting Supermicro for technical support:
• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your
system first boots up)
• System configuration

1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules. See Section 2-4 for details on
installing memory.
Question: When I plug in my 1600 MHz XMP DDR3 memory into my C2SBX/
C2SBX+ motherboard, it only shows that it's running at 1333MHz or 1066
MHz. How can I make it work at 1600MHz?
Answer: The C2SBX motherboard does not support 1600MHz XMP memory.
However for the C2SBX+, please enable 1600MHz XMP mode in the BIOS:
Enter the BIOS setup, go to Advanced -> Advanced Chipset Control -> XMP
Function and select “Extreme”.
Note: If the C2SBX+ motherboard detects that the memory installed is not
suited for 1600MHz XMP operation, the BIOS activates a protection routine to
lower its clock speed to 1066MHz or 1333MHz automatically. This is to protect
the system so it can still boot with the proper clock speed.
Question: When I plug in my 1600 MHz XMP DDR3 memory into my C2SBX+
motherboard, the system hangs. How can I make it work at 1600MHz?
Answer: This is an issue with some memory vendors. Insert the memory
module in the motherboard's black-colored slots.

C2SBX/C2SBX+ User's Manual
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.
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 for the Windows OS, security and audio drivers.

BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the C2SBX/C2SBX+.
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 Supermicro web site <http://www.supermicro.com> for any
changes to the BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.
System BIOS
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 requires 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 BIOS to
prevent possible boot failure.
Note: The SPI BIOS chip used in the C2SBX/C2SBX+ is not removable. To
replace a damaged SPI BIOS chip, please send the motherboard to Supermicro
for repair.

Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-
cedence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero Doctor III adopts
the temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent
changes to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the
SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the
BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be
the same as those set in the BIOS.
