ASMB-975 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The ASMB-975 serverboard 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 serverboard supports Intel Xeon Pro-
cessor Scalable Family series processor and DDR4 2133/2400/2666 MHz memory
up to 384 GB. ASMB-975 provides four PCIe x16, one PCIe x8 and four PCIe x4
slots in Gen3.0 high speed. In addition, the ASMB-975T2 has dual Gigabit and dual
10GbE Ethernet LAN ports that eliminate network bottlenecks. One GbE RJ-45 LAN
and one 10GbE RJ-45 LAN jack are shared with IPMI function that allows remote
control management. High reliability and outstanding performance makes ASMB-975
the ideal platform for industrial server/networking applications.
By using the Intel C622/C621 chipset, the ASMB-975 offers a variety of features such
as 8 x USB3.0 and 3x USB 2.0 connectivity, 12 x onboard SATA III and 2 x M.2
(SATA only) interface. The 12 x SATA ports support software RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5
(Windows only*), and with the latest Intel RSTe (Rapid Storage Technology Enter-
prise) it provides compelling RAID solution for NVMe SSDs via Intel VROC (Virtual
RAID on Chip) HW key.
These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities
and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
