Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® Xeon® W (Socket R4) processor and
the Intel C422 chipset, the X11SRM-F/-VF motherboard provides system performance, power
efciency, and feature sets to address the needs of next-generation computer users.
With the support of the new Intel Microarchitecture 14nm Process Technology, the
X11SRM-F/-VF dramatically increases system performance for a multitude of server
applications.
The Intel C422 chipset provides Enterprise SMbus support, including the following features:
• DDR4 288-pin memory support
• Support for Management Engine (ME)
• Support of SMBus speeds of up to 400KHz for BMC connectivity
• Improved I/O capabilities to various storage congurations
• SPI Enhancements
• BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package for enterprise
platforms
1.3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
1.4 System Health Monitoring
Onboard Voltage Monitors
An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and
battery continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error
message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
