ASMB-816 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The ASMB-816 server board is the most advanced Intel Xeon Processor scalable
family series board for server-grade IPC applications that require high-performance
computing power & multi-expansion slots. This server board supports Intel Xeon
Scalable series processor and DDR4 ECC-REG 2400/2666/2933/3200 MHz memory
up to 1024 GB.
ASMB-816 provides three PCIe x16 + two PCIe x8 (one x4 link) from CPU in Gen4,
and one PCIe x4 + one PCIe x1 from PCH in Gen3 high speed. In addition, the full
ASMB-816 SKU has dual Gigabit and dual 10GbE Ethernet LAN ports that eliminate
network bottlenecks. (ASMB-816 I & T2 SKUs only)
A fifth RJ-45 LAN connector (LAN5) is dedicated for IPMI function that allows remote
control management. One RJ-45 LAN jack (LAN 4) from 10GbE port can also be
used as IPMI LAN. High reliability and outstanding performance makes ASMB-816
the ideal platform for industrial server/networking applications.
By using the Intel C621A chipset, the ASMB-816 offers a variety of features such as
6 x USB3.0 and 7 x USB 2.0 connectivity, 8 x onboard SATA III, and 1 x M.2 (SATA
and PCIe) interface. It supports software RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 (Windows only*), and
with the latest Intel® RSTe (Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise) it provides a com
-
pelling RAID solution for NVMe SSDs via Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) HW key.
These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities
and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
