A+ SERVER 2042G-TRF/6RF User's Manual

1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the A+ SERVER 2042G-TRF/6RF is one H8QG6/i-F quad processor serverboard, which is based on the AMD SR5690/SP5100 chipset.

Below are the main features of the serverboards.

Processors

The H8QG6/i-F supports four AMD Opteron 6100 series (Socket G34 type) processors. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The H8QG6/i-F has thirty-two (32) single/dual/tri/quad channel DIMM slots supporting up to 512 GB of DDR3-1333/1066/800 registered ECC or 128GB of DDR3 Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC SDRAM.. See Chapter 5 Section 6 for more details on installing memory into the system.

SAS (AS-2042G-6RF Only)

An LSI 2008 SAS2 controller is integrated into the H8QG6-F to provide an eight port SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, and 10 supported. (Optional RAID 5 support is available with the iButton installed.) The SAS drives are hot-swappable units. SR and IT modes are supported but not IR.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hotswap capability and RAID function of the SAS drives.

Serial ATA

The South Bridge (SP5100) of the chipset includes a Serial ATA controller for six 3Gb/s SATA drives. The hot-swappable SATA drives are connected to a backplane that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. RAID 0, 1, and 10 are supported. Refer to the support area of our web site for procedures on setting up RAID on your system.

PCI Expansion Slots

The H8QG6/i-F board has two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots and two PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots or one UIO slot.
