1-2 Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of the 5000X chipset, the X7DAL-E+
motherboard provides the performance and feature set required for dual proces-
sor-based workstations with con guration options optimized for communications,
presentation, storage and computation applications or for use as workstations.
The 5000X chipset supports a single or two Xeon 64-bit Dual-Core or Quad-Core
processor(s) with front side bus speeds of up to 1333 MHz. The chipset consists
of the 5000X Memory Controller Hub (MCH), and the Enterprise South Bridge 2
(ESB2).
The 5000X MCH chipset is designed for symmetric multiprocessing across two
independent front side bus interfaces. Each front side bus uses a 64-bit wide, 1.333
GHz data bus. The MCH chipset connects supports Fully Buffered DIMM modules,
providing a total memory of up to 24.0 GB. In addition, the 5000X chipset offers a
wide range of RAS features, including memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single Device
Data Correction, CRC, parity protection, memory mirroring and memory sparing.

X7DAL-E+ User's Manual
1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The feature allows the user to set the power state after a power outage. You can
select Power-Off for the system power to remain off after a power loss. Select
Power-On for the system power to be turned on after a power loss. Select Last
State to allow the system to resume its last state before the power loss. The default
setting is Last State.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X7DAL-E+. All have
an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage,
+1.8V, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, +3.3V Standby, +5V Standby and
VBAT.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen.
Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to de ne the sensitivity of the voltage
monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS (under
Hardware Monitoring in the Advanced Setting).
Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn
on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a pre-de ned
threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it de-
tects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal
fan control to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis
thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when
the chassis temperature is too high. (Note: This function is not available for the
Quad-Core Processors.)
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS en-
vironment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero Doctor is used to notify
the user of certain system events. For example, you can also con gure Supero
Doctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU tempera-
tures, voltages and fan speeds exceed a pre-de ned range.

1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Con guration and Power Interface. The ACPI speci -
cation de nes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including
its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system
to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard
disk drives and printers. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC
such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI
provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating
system-independent interface for con guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug
and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003
Server and Windows Vista Operating Systems.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED and LE1 will
start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses
any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and
remain on.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system
suspend button to make the system enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be
suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Pressing the power button again
will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the ATX power
supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case
the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press and hold
the power button for 4 seconds. This option can be set in the Power section of
the BIOS Setup routine.
External Modem Ring-On
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing
when the system is in Standby or Off state. Note that external modem ring-on can
only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is de ned 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 traf c 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
1-12
X7DAL-E+ User's Manual
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.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates.
The X7DAL-E+ can only accommodate 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most
power supplies generally meet the speci cations required by the motherboard,
some are inadequate. You should use one that will supply at least 400W of power.
In addition, the 12V 8-pin and 4-pin power connectors are also required for ad-
equate power supply to the system. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for
the Ethernet ports.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Speci cation 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant (info at
http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is
present, you may choose to install a line lter 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.
1-7 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a oppy disk drive
controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator,
write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera-
tor, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of
functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components
required for interfacing with oppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports 360 K, 720
K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s
or 1 Mb/s. It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable
baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps
as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which
support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional Printer
Port (BPP) , Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-13
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Con guration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electro-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally suf cient 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 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 speci ed 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.
2-2
X7DAL-E+ User's Manual
When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Notes: 1. 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.
2. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certi ed multi-di-
rectional heatsink and fan.
3. Make sure to install the Heatsink Backplate and the motherboard into the chassis
before you install the CPU heatsink and fan. (See Installation Procedures below.)
4. When purchasing a motherboard with an LGA 771 CPU Socket, make sure that
the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU Socket pins are bent; other-
wise, contact the retailer immediately.
5. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.

2-3 Installing DIMMs
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 DIMM
#1A. The memory scheme is interleaved, so you must install two modules
at a time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #2A and so on. For optimal
performance, please install memory modules in both Branch1 and Branch 2 (4
modules maximum.) (See the Memory Installation Table Below.)
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 X7DAL-E+ supports up to 24 GB fully buffered (FBD) ECC DDR2 667/533
in 6 DIMMs. Populating DIMM slots with pairs of memory modules of the same
size and same type will result in Interleaved Memory which will increase memory
performance.
Note 1: Due to OS limitations, some operating systems may not show more than 4
GB of memory. (See the DIMM Population Con gurations Table below.)
Note 2: 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 Memory Availability Table for
details.)

(*Notes: i. DIMM slot# specified: DIMM slot to be populated; “---“: DIMM slot not to
be populated. ii. Both FBD 533 MHz and 667MHz DIMMs are supported; however,
you need to use the memory modules of the same speed and of the same type on a
motherboard. iii. Interleaved memory is supported when pairs of DIMM modules are
installed. To optimize memory performance, please install pairs of memory in both
Branch 1 and Branch 2. iv. For memory to work properly, you need to follow the
restrictions listed above. )

be connected to your motherboard.
See the table on the right for pin
de nitions.
2-5 Connecting Cables
ATX Power Connector
A 24-pin main power supply
connector(JPW1) and an 8-pin CPU
PWR connector (JPW3) are located
on the motherboard. These power
connectors meet the SSI EPS 12V
specification. The 4-pin 12V PWR
supply at JPW2 is required to provide
adequate power to the PCI-Express
slots. See the tables on the right for
pin de nitions.

Fan Headers
The X7DAL-E+ has six chassis/system fan headers
(Fan1 to Fan6). (Note: all these fans are 4-pin fans.
However, Pins 1-3 of the fan headers are backward
compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans.) See the
table on the right for pin de nitions. (The onboard
fan speeds are controlled by Thermal Management
via BIOS Hardware Monitor in the Advanced Set-
ting. The default setting is Disabled. When using
Thermal Management setting, please use all 3-pin
fans or all 4-pin fans on the motherboard.)

PWR Supply Failure/PWR Fault
Detect (JPWF)
The system can notify you in the event of a
power supply failure. This feature is available
when three power supply units are installed
in the chassis with one acting as a backup. If
you only have one or two power supply units
installed, you should disable this (the default
setting) with JPWF to prevent false alarms.
Note: This feature is only available when using
Supermicro redundant power supplies.
