1-2 Serverboard Features
The 5038MA-H24TRF includes a total of 12 A1SA2-2750F dual processor server-
boards. Each serverboard constitutes two nodes in the system. Below are the main
features of the A1SA2-2750F. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram.)
Processors
Each A1SA2-2750F supports two 64-bit, Intel
®
Atom™ C2750 Tri-Gate SoC
(System-on-a-Chip) processor based on low-power Silvermont microarchitecture
in a BGA 1283 package. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our
web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
Each A1SA2-2750F has eight memory slots that can support up to 64 GB of ECC
DDR3-1600 UDIMM (Unbuffered), VLP (Very Low Profi le) memory. This equates
to a maximum of 768 GB for the system. Memory modules of the same size and
speed should be used. See Chapter 5 for details.
SATA
A SATA controller integrated into the serverboard provides a four-port SATA 3.0
subsystem. Each sled supports either two or four 2.5” SATA 3.0 (or SSD) hard
drives (one or two drives per node).
Front I/O Ports
The front I/O panel on each serverboard includes one KVM connector, four Gb
Ethernet LAN ports (two for each node), one dedicated IPMI LAN port, a power
button and a node switch (for KVM).
IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-
fi cation that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro
server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s hardware
status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle
a system that is non-responsive. Each node features IPMI 2.0 with KVM over a
dedicated LAN port.
