Description
The H8QGi-F serverboard is a robust and versatile solution, powered by the AMD SR5690/SR5670/SP5100 chipset. This chipset serves as a Media and Communications Processor (MCP) and integrates memory controllers directly into AMD Opteron processors. The AMD SR5690/SR5670/SP5100 chipsets offer high performance with features like a 42 or 30-lane PCI Express interface, a 16-bit Hyper Transport interface link, six SATA ports, and seven USB 2.0 ports, all directly connected to the CPU. This architecture is complemented by HyperTransport technology, significantly boosting communication speed between integrated circuits.
Additionally, the serverboard provides robust PC health monitoring capabilities, including onboard voltage monitors with adjustable sensitivity, fan status monitoring with firmware and software speed control, and CPU overheat/fan fail warning system. It features an efficient Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core, supporting AMD Opteron 6000SE series processors and ensuring system stability.
Power configuration settings include Microsoft OnNow support for instant system responsiveness, a Suspend-State Indicator LED for clear status indication, BIOS support for USB keyboards during boot-up, and a Main Switch Override Mechanism for easy system suspension and wake-up. Wake-On-LAN (WOL) functionality allows remote power-up for remote management convenience.
For reliable operation, the serverboard requires proprietary power supplies and recommends additional safeguards like line filters and power surge protectors, particularly in areas with noisy power transmission. The Super I/O component offers enhanced functionality by integrating multiple features, reducing the need for additional components, and promoting power efficiency.
Furthermore, the H8QGi-F serverboard incorporates Supermicro’s UIO (Universal I/O) technology, featuring PCI-Express x4 and x8 signals that support various UIO card types, allowing users to customize the serverboard to suit their specific needs, whether it’s adding SAS ports, LAN ports, or other interfaces. This serverboard is a flexible and high-performance solution for demanding server environments.
