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
H8SSL-R10 motherboard. The H8SSL-R10 is based on the ServerWorks HT-1000
chipset and supports a single AMD Opteron 100 series processor in a 939-pin mi-
croPGA ZIF socket and up to 4 GB of unbuffered ECC DDR400/333 SDRAM.
Please refer to the serverboard specifi cations pages on our web site for updates
on supported processors. This product is intended to be professionally installed.
Manual Organization
Chapter 1 includes a checklist of what should be included in your motherboard
box, describes the features, specifi cations and performance of the motherboard
and provides detailed information about the chipset.
Chapter 2 begins with instructions on handling static-sensitive devices. Read this
chapter when installing the processor and memory modules and when installing the
motherboard in a chassis. Also refer to this chapter to connect the fl oppy and hard
disk drives, the serial ports, the mouse and keyboard and the twisted wires for the
power and reset buttons and the system LEDs.

1-2 Chipset Overview
The H8SSL-R10 serverboard is based on Serverworks' HT-1000 chipset, which
functions as a HyperTransport
TM
SystemI/O
TM
Hub. The HT-1000 chipset provides
high performance, scalability and reliability. Its HyperTransport architecture reduces
IO bottlenecks to improve overall system performance. System memory controllers
not part of the chipset but instead are integrated into the processors to decrease
latency.
HT-1000 HyperTransport I/O Hub
The HT-1000 I/O hub interconnects the CPU/host bridge with the I/O bridge via a
HyperTransport bus to provide an interface to the various subsystems including the
Super I/O functions, the onboard graphics, the IDE controller and the USB ports.
HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency point to point link that was
designed to increase the communication speed by a factor of up to 48x between
integrated circuits. This is done partly by reducing the number of buses in the
chipset to reduce bottlenecks and by enabling a more effi cient use of memory in
multi-processor systems. The end result is a signifi cant increase in bandwidth
within the chipset.

H8SSL-R10 User’s Manual
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the H8SSL-R10. The
serverboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC
health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU core, +5Vin, +12Vin, -12V,
Memory, 1.2V, +5V Standby, +2.5V Standby and Battery Voltage
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen.
Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to defi ne the sensitivity of the voltage
monitor. Real time readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in the System
Health Monitor section of BIOS.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software Speed Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
fans are controlled by thermal management via BIOS.
CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat/Fan Fail warning
function in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When
this temperature is exceeded or when a fan failure occurs, then, the Overheat/Fan
Fail warning LED is triggered.
Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core
The 3-phase-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 80A and
auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 0.875 V to 1.6V. This will allow the regulator
to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-11
1-4 Power Confi guration Settings
This section describes the features of your serverboard that deal with power and
power settings.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system
and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears
to be off and responds immediately to user or other requests.
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 a 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 depresses the power button, the system will enter
a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.
Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. Dur-
ing the SoftOff 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 depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power
will turn off and no power will be provided to the serverboard.
Wake-On-Ring Header (JWOR)
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing
when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only
be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
1-12
H8SSL-R10 User’s Manual
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 of 1 GHz and faster.
The H8SSL-R10 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power
supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some are inad-
equate. A 2 amp current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recommended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. Additionally, in areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi 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.
Warning: To prevent the possibility of explosion, do not use the wrong type of
onboard CMOS battery or install it upside down.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-13
1-6 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a fl oppy disk drive
controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator,
write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera-
tor, 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 fl oppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two 360
K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s,
500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.
It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports
(UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART in-
cludes 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 Confi guration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment 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 fl exibly adjusted
to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power
Management).
