Super X13DEG-OAD User's Manual
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a
generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system-independent
interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures,
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information regarding OS support,
please refer to the Supermicro website.
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 where
noisy power transmission is present.
The X13DEG-OAD motherboard utilizes four Supermicro proprietary power supply (PSU1~4)
and two 12V power supply (PWR1~2 and PWR3~4). In addition, twenty GPU power
connectors (GPU-PWR1~20) and three backplane power connectors (BP-PWR1~3) are also
used to provide power from X13DEG-OAD to GPUs and backplane devices.
It is strongly recommended that you only use Supermicro approved redundant power supply
units for the Supermicro system chassis.
1.7 Serial Port
The X13DEG-OAD motherboard supports one serial port via a header on the I/O board. COM
Port 1 is used for input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a baud rate of up to
115.2 Kbps.
