Preface
Preface
About This Manual
This manual is written for system integrators, IT technicians and knowledgeable end users.
It provides information for the installation and use of the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN
motherboard.
About This Motherboard
The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard provides powerful graphics and increased
media processing performance with multi-frame technology. Paired with the Intel® Atom SoC
(System-on-a-Chip) processor, the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN delivers more computing
power for faster memory speeds and bandwidth while maintaining energy efî‚¿ciency. Utilizing
Intel® TCC (Time Coordinated Computing) Technology, the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN
resolves latency issues in applications and improves determinism across connected devices.
The motherboard features advanced technologies such as Intel® Virtualization to improve
security and reliabity of systems, and Thermal Monitoring to reduce power consumption. It
also comes with more I/O ports and high-speed connectivity.
Please note that this motherboard is intended to be installed and serviced by professional
technicians only. For processor/memory updates, please refer to our website at http://www.
supermicro.com/products/.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® Atom SoC series processor, the
A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy
efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for
embedded storage solutions, networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms. The
A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN drastically increases system performance for a multitude of
server applications.
The A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN supports the following features:
• Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
• Video Connectors: VGA, HDMI, and LVDS
• USB3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (Only supported on X11SAN and A2SAN-H)
• Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
• Mini-PCI-E slot with PCIe Gen2 x1 with transfer rates of up to 5Gb/s
• Gen3 SATA ports with transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specication, Version 2.0
• M.2 slot with B-key 2280/2242/3042 module is supported by an extender bracket
• TPM2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) onboard with Disable/Enable jumper (not supported on
A2SAN-L)
• Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
• Intel® Identity Protection Technology
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN
motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports
system health monitoring.

Super A2SAN-H/-E/-L and X11SAN User's Manual
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.
Note: Before setting the Recovery from AC Power Loss function in the BIOS, please
adjust force power on jumper JPF1 to pins 2-3 to disable the force power-on function.
1.4 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conî‚¿guration and Power Interface. The ACPI speciî‚¿cation deî‚¿nes
a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power
management features throughout a computer system including its hardware, operating system
and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as network cards, hard disk drives and printers.
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 conî‚¿guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows® 10.
1.5 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. In areas
where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line î‚¿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.
1.6 Super I/O
The Super I/O (NCT6106D chip) provides four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial
communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each
UART includes a 128 byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete
modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. 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.
