A+ SERVER 1012G-MTF USER'S MANUAL
1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the A+ Server 1012G-MTF lies the H8SGL-F, a single processor motherboard based on the AMD® SR5650 and SP5100 Southbridge chipsets. This chipset functions as a Media and Communications Processor (MCP). Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into AMD Opteron processors. Below are the main features of the H8SGL-F. See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.
Processors
The H8SGL-F supports a single AMD Opteron 6000 series processor in a AMD Socket G34 type socket. Please refer to the motherboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The H8SGL-F has eight DIMM slots that can support up to 256 GB of registered ECC SDRAM or 64 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1600/1333/1066 Mhz MHz speed, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB size SDRAM memory. Memory modules of the same size and speed should be used. See Chapter 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a six-port, 3 Gb/s Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1 and 10 capable. The SATA drives are hot- swappable units.
PCI Expansion Slots
The H8SGL-F has one PCI-Express 2.0 x8 (in x16 slot) slot, one PCI-Express 2.0 x8 slot, one PCI-Express 2.0 x4 (in a x8 slot) and three 32-bit PCI 33 MHz slot. A PCI- Express 2.0 x16 riser card (CSE-RR1U-E16) is provided for use with this system.
I/O Ports
The color-coded I/O ports include two COM Ports (one external serial port, one Fast UART 16550 port), Eight USB (Universal Serial Bus 2.0) ports (2x rear, 4x header, 2x type A), VGA port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two 1-Gb Ethernet ports. A dedicated IPMI LAN port is also included on the H8SGL-F.
