Note: Please be aware of the following conditions when "over
clocking" is used:
Setting a high CPU FSB Speed (overclocking), using a DRAM
Frequency, or selecting a high CPU V-Core voltage, memory voltage, chipset
voltage, ICH chipset voltage, or FSB termination voltage may result in system
instability. If this occurs, reset the setting to the default setting. In addition, extra
fans may be needed for proper system cooling. The PDSLA/PDSLE offers the
option of "overclocking"; however, Supermicro is not responsible for any damage
caused by the use of overclocking.

PDSLA/PDSLE User’s Manual
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSLA/PDSLE.
The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports
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 Con-
trol setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default
setting is Last State.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset Core +1.5V,
+3.3V, +3.3V standby, +5V, +5V Standby, Vbat and ±12V
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 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.
Fan Fail Alert
When a fan fails during the normal operation, the Fan Fail LED will start to blink
and the buzzer will be activated to indicate a fan failure.
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 defi ne an overheat temperature. When this
temperature reaches the pre-defi ned 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.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-11
1-4 Power Confi guration 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 keyboard 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
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 press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off
and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
Wake-On-Ring (WOR) Header
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.
1-5 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.
1-12
PDSLA/PDSLE User’s Manual
The
PDSLA/PDSLE accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some
are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V
4-pin power connection (J41) be used for high-load confi gurations. 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.
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).

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally suffi 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 your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specifi ed by the Manufac-
turer. Do not install the CMOS onboard battery upside down to avoid a possible
explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
Installation Procedures
Follow the procedures as listed below for full installation of the motherboard into
a chassis:
1. Install the processor and the heatsink to the motherboard.
2. Install the motherboard in the chassis.
3. Install the memory and add-on cards.
4. Finally, connect the cables and install the drivers.
