INTEL XEON E5-1600/2600 V3 PROCESSOR FAMILIES Based on the Haswell microarchitecture, these new Intel processor families bring a whole new set of performance boosting features. In addition to the usual boost in frequencies and core numbers, the Intel Xeon E5-1600/2600 V3 families are the first in the industry to support the brand new DDR4 memory technology. Moreover, these new processors include encryption performance overhead reduction features, and technologies improving run time and migration VM integrity. DDR4 SUPPORT NEXT GEN MEMORY The Intel Xeon E5-1600/2600 V3 families are the first generation of processors to support exclusively the new DDR4 technology on the market, which brings: + 50% Bandwitdh Performance - 35% Power Consumption @ 2DPC - 50% Power consumption @ 3DPc MEMORY FREQUENCY GET THE PERFORMANCE EDGE On the previous server platforms from Intel, the maximum supported memory frequency has always been automatically downgraded by design when more DIMMs were being added on a server motherboard. As this trade-off between performance and capacity represents a dilemma to many memory-hungry server applications, GIGABYTE offers a unique solution. All our motherboards based on the LGA 2011-3 socket support by default a maximum frequency of 2133 MHZ in any memory configuration. ADD—ON SAS CARD STORAGE FLEXIBILITY In addition to its ten SATA III 6Gb/s ports, the MD30-RSO has eight SAS 6Gb/s ports that can be activated with the addition of our proprietary CRA22O-8 add-on RAID card EASY BIOS UPDATE Because updating the version of a BIOS can be a troublesome experience, GiGABYTE has developed this integrated function (no utility to install) that lets you update the BIOS of your motherboard(s): - without having to install CPUs, memory, drives, operating system, etc. - without having to power on the system (but a power supply must be connected) - One board at a time via our IPMI 2.0 web interface - Multiple boards simultaneously via command line IPMI 2.0 WEB INTERFACE REMOTE BOARD MANAGEMENT? This motherboard has an onboard controller providing comprehensive remote board monitoring and management features, such as: - Remote Boot & Reset - Remote Image Mounting - Full Control Over Network, Users, Services, Etc. - complete System Monitoring & Diagnostics ALL IR POWER DESIGN Our boards CPU and memory power delivery is ensured by industry-leading IR Digital PWM and IR PowlRstage IC controllers These components guarantee a super stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance. OS—CON CAPACITORS With a service life of a minimum of 50000 hours, our boards are built with ultra long lasting components for the highest reliability possible. HIGH END FERRITE CORE CHOKES The top quality choices we install on our boards also contribute to an ultra stable power delivery to the CPU and the memory.
