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 A2SAP-H/-E/-L motherboard.
About This Motherboard
The A2SAP-H/-E/-L 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 A2SAP-H/-E/-L delivers more computing power for faster memory speeds
and bandwidth while maintaining energy efciency. Utilizing Intel® TCC (Time Coordinated
Computing) Technology, the A2SAP-H/-E/-L 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/.
Conventions Used in the Manual
Special attention should be given to the following symbols for proper installation and to prevent
damage done to the components or injury to yourself:
Warning! Indicates high voltage may be encountered when performing a procedure.
Warning! Indicates important information given to prevent equipment/property damage
or personal injury.
Important: Important information given to ensure proper system installation or to

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® Atom SoC series processor, the
A2SAP-H/-E/-L motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efciency, and data
reliability in a 14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions,
networking applications, or cloud-computing platforms. The A2SAP-H/-E/-L drastically
increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.
The A2SAP-H/-E/-L supports the following features:
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
Video Connectors: HDMI and LVDS
Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
Mini-PCI-E slot with PCI-E Gen2 X1 with transfer rates of up to 5Gb/s
SATA port with SATA Gen3 with transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specication, Version 2.0
M.2 slot with B-key 2242/3042 module is supported by an extender bracket
Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
Intel® Identity Protection Technology
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the A2SAP-H/-E/-L motherboard.
The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health
monitoring.
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.
18
A2SAP-H/-E/-L User's Manual
1.4 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication de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 con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 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 (NCT5523 chip) includes a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry,
decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt
and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces
the number of components required for interfacing with oppy disk drives.
The Super I/O provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports
(UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART includes a 16-byte
send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability
and a processor interrupt system. Both 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.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI
or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be exibly adjusted to meet
ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management).

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.7 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.
Management Engine (ME)
Intel Atom SoC only supports the TXE function, also called CSE (Converged Security Engine),
which is the lite ME function.

Installation
2.1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your
motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally
sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure that your chassis provides excellent conductivity be-
tween the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specied by the manufacturer. Do
not install the CMOS battery upside down, which may result in a possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking
the motherboard, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
