    Preface

    About This Manual

    This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and

    knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of the

    X7SPA and X7SPE motherboard product series. This product is intended

    to be professionally installed and serviced by a technician.

    About This Motherboard

    The X7SPA and X7SPE motherboard product series are value-driven products

    aimed at users who demand a reduced-cost, low-power motherboard for PC or

    storage server applications.

    The X7SPA and X7SPE series come in different model variations with different

    CPU support. The X7SPA-L features a single-core Intel ATOMTM

    D410 (1.66GHz,

    10.0W) processor, while the X7SPA-H, X7SPA-HF, X7SPE-H, and X7SPE-HF sup-

    ports the Intel ATOM D510 (Dual Core, 1.66GHz, 13.0W) processor. In addition,

    four other models, the X7SPE-H-D525, X7SPA-HF-D525, X7SPA-H-D525 and the

    X7SPE-HF-D525 are equipped with the Intel ATOM D525 (Dual Core, 1.8GHz,

    13W) processor. Depending on the particular model, X7SPA and X7SPE series

    also offer several conguration choices, including memory up to 4GB (non-ECC

    SO-DIMM), up to 6 SATA ports, an on-board VGA, and up to 10 USB 2.0 ports.

    These enable the X7SPA and X7SPE series to deliver cost-effective performance

    in a small form- factor package.

    This wide selection of processors and options make the X7SPA and X7SPE series

    an excellent choice for system builders looking to standardize on a particular moth-erboard line, at cost-effective price points.

    Chapter 1: Introduction

    1-3 PC Health Monitoring

    This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X7SPA and X7SPE

    series. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that sup-

    ports PC health monitoring.

    Recovery from AC Power Loss

    BIOS provides a setting for you to determine 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 hit the power switch to turn it back

    on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control

    setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-

    ting is Last State.

    Onboard Voltage Monitoring

    The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU

    Cores, Chipset Voltage, Memory Voltage (+1.8V), +3.3V, +3.3V standby, +5V, +12V,

    and Vbat. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error

    message to the screen. The User can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the

    sensitivity of the voltage monitor by using SD III.

    Fan Status Monitor with Software

    The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero

    Doctor III.

    CPU Overheat LED and Control

    This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function

    in the BIOS. This allows the user to dene an overheat temperature. When this

    temperature reaches the pre-dened threshold, the CPU thermal trip feature will be

    activated and it will send a signal to the Speaker LED and, at the same time, the

    CPU speed will be decreased.

    X7SPA and X7SPE Motherboard Series User's Manual

    1-4 Power Confguration Settings

    This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and

    power settings.

    Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

    When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED 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.

    BIOS Support for USB Keyboard

    If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal

    keyboard during system boot-up.

    Main Switch Override Mechanism

    When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system

    suspend button. When the user presses the power button, the system will 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 theSoftOff 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. The power will turn off

    and no power will be provided to the motherboard.

    1-5 Power Supply

    As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper andreliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU

    clock rates of 1 GHz and faster.

    The X7SPA and X7SPE series accomodates 12V ATX power supplies.

    Although most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the

    CPU, some are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is

    strongly recommended.

    1-8 LVDS (X7SPA-L only)

    Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is an industry-standard electrical signal-

    ing system. This signaling system can run at very high speeds over inexpensive

    copper wires using low power.

    The LVDS bus on the X7SPA-L motherboard is used to transport video data from

    the built-in graphics adapter to a computer monitor, such as a user-supplied external

    LCD display. This motherboard's 18-bpp LVDS connector (6 bits/color) is located

    on J5 and the inverter connector for the LCD/back light control is located on J6. It

    is possible for certain types of 24-bpp LCD panels (8 bits/color) to be connected to

    the 18-bpp interface. Please refer to the following illustration:

    LVDS panel will in effect operate as an 18-bpp device. For an in-depth explanation

    on this particular subject, go to www.intel.com and search for document 315975.

    2-2 Motherboard Installation

    All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.

    Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and

    chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-

    teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard

    to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.

    Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

    Caution: Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please

    take precautionary measures to prevent damage to these components

    when installing the motherboard to the chassis.

    Tools Needed

    Philips Screwdriver Pan head screws (4-6 pieces)

    Location of Mounting HolesThere are four (4) mounting holes on the X7SPA series, and six (6) on the X7SPE

    series motherboard.

    Stand Offs (4-6 pieces)(Only if needed)

    Note:The above items are not provided with this motherboard.
