The path to AMD's 5nm 'Zen 4' architecture was paved with many successful generations of EPYC innovations and chiplet designs, and the AMD EPYC 9004 series processors continue this progression. Adding a host of new features to address a wide range of workloads, the new EPYC processor family will deliver even better CPU performance and performance-per-watt, and will do so in a platform with twice the performance of PCIe 4.0 lanes which also supports 50% more memory channels. For this new platform, GIGABYTE has products ready to take full advantage of EPYC-based systems supporting fast PCIe Gen5 accelerators and Gen5 NVMe drives, as well as support for high-performance DDR5 memory.
GIGABYTE servers are enabled with automatic fan speed control for the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will automatically adjust based on temperature sensors strategically placed on the servers.
To take advantage of the fact that a power supply will run more power-efficiently under higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called cold redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls below 40%, the system will automatically place a power supply in standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.
To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of AC power loss, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT on all of our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will speed up while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10 to 20 ms, which is long enough to transition to a backup power source for continuous operation.
SCMP is a GIGABYTE proprietary feature that is implemented in servers with non-fully redundant power supply design. With SCMP, in the event of a failing power supply or an overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, preventing the system from shutting down unexpectedly and prevent component damage or data loss.
If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS does not boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary one. Once the primary BMC is updated, the backup BMC ROM will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on the user's choice of firmware version.
For hardware-based authentication, passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from accessing your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come on either a serial peripheral interface or a low pin count bus.
NOTE: If you buy just the barebone you will need to purchase the rest of the components and assemble it to complete the server.
