C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User’s Manual 1-2 Chipset Overview The Intel G33/P35 chipset is specially designed for use with the Intel dual core processors. It consists of two primary components: the Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH9/ICH9R). The GMCH (North Bridge) manages the data flow between the CPU interface (FSB), the System Memory interface, the External Graphics interface, and the I/O Controller through the DMI (Direct Media) Interface.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-3 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 setting is Last State.
C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User’s Manual enhance clock control. A hardware-based component provides software-independent thermal management that is compatible with the ACPI Revision 3.0a. 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.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-7 Versatile Media Capabilities High Definition Audio The High Definition Audio Controller embedded in the ICH9/ICH9R delivers up to 4 codecs that can be used for different types of codecs, such as audio and modem codecs. Operating at 3.3V or 1.5V, the embedded Audio Controller supports a multi-channel audio stream, 32-bit sample depth, up to 192 kHz of same rate, and can be used with a variety of microphones for input.

C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual Front Panel Audio Control When front panel headphones are plugged in, the back panel audio output is disabled. This is done through the FP Audio header (J12). If the front panel interface card is not connected to the front panel audio header, jumpers should be installed on the header (J12) pin pairs: 1-2, 5-6, and 9-10.
Chapter 2: Installation 2-7 Jumper Settings Explanation of Jumpers Connector Pins To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout pages for jumper locations.
C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual 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.

C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual 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.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)? Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with your system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be used to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect the blue connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s) to your hard drive(s).

C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User's Manual Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control). User intervention: No action required. Medium – The processor is running warmer.
Chapter 4: BIOS Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status, rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25oC). The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on thermal management, please refer to Intel’s Web site at www.Intel.com.
