Introduction

Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors Extend Your Scale Introducing GIGABYTE's new generation of motherboards and systems built around Intel's Skylake Purley architecture - 'Intel Xeon Scalable'. This new product family provides a wealth of new options in scalability - across compute, network and storage - to deliver solutions for a range of applications. GIGABYTE's system design and engineering expertise applied to this Intel Xeon Scalable series enables it to meet the increasingly diverse requirements of the industry, from entry-level HPC to large scale clusters. Intel's Xeon Scalable platform brings improved features and functionality at both the host and fabric levels. These enable performance improvements - both natively on chip and for future extensibility through compute, network and storage peripherals. Multi-Node Management Multi-Node Control (Simultaneous) CMC (Central Management Control) Function for Easy Node Management and Less ToR (Top of Rack) Cabling. Aspeed CMC (with LAN connector) connects with Aspeed BMC on each node. Optimized for high TDP GIGABYTE systems are thermally designed to provide optimal support for the maximum range of CPU SKUs. On certain models, high density fan designs enable efficient performance at up to 165W TDP. Carefully selected components GIGABYTE's passive components are meticulously selected to guarantee a super stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance.With some of the longest service lifetimes in the industry, our server motherboards are built with ultra long lasting components to attain the highest reliability levels. Ease of Deployment and Management GIGABYTE continues to be responsive to market needs and to create user-friendly solutions, including: Tool-less rail kit included as a default across all new server models - In-house designed proprietary tool-less sleds for 3.5" HDDs to allow for easy swapping - Supplying multiple connector options and tools where appropriate Efficient, Reliable Power Supply GIGABYTE's Xeon Scalable servers are designed to guarantee high conversion efficiency regardless of load. Redundant 80 Plus 'Platinum' PSUs, combined with GIGABYTE's precision engineering, translates to super efficient power usage which maximizes the system's power : performance ratio and reduces OPEX for the user. GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM) GIGABYTE's proprietary software, 'GIGABYTE Server Management', is designed to provide an effortless user experience. This software can be downloaded as a 'GSM Client'/ 'GSM Agent'/ 'GSM Server' module - depending on user applications - all of which are IPMI and Redfish compliant. Through these protocols, users and administrators can manage and monitor their server groups easily and remotely through multiple concurrent sessions. GIGABYTE BMC Interface Easy BIOS Upgrade GIGABYTE has developed this integrated function (requiring no additional software) that allows users to update the BIOS of motherboards through the BMC controller: - No need to install core components such as CPUs, memory, drives and OS - No need to power on the system (NB. PSU must be connected) - Update individual (IPMI 2.0) or multiple boards simultaneously (Command Line) Environmental Compliance GIGABYTE maintains its commitment to green products, and adheres to the latest RoHS regulations (in effect July 2017).
