processor motherboard based on the Intel C612 chipset. Below are the main
features. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)
Processors
The motherboard supports single or dual Intel E5-2600 v3/v4 Series processors
in socket R3 (LGA 2011). Refer to the motherboard description pages on the
Supermicro website for a complete listing of supported processors (www.

5 for details.
NVMe Ports
The motherboard features four NVMExpress ports (PCI-E 3.0 x4) using OCuLink.
The NVMe ports provide high-speed, low-latency connections directly from the
CPU to NVMe solid state drives (SSDs). This greatly increases SSD throughput
and significantly reduces storage device latency by simplifying driver and software
requirements resulting from the direct PCI-E interface between the CPU and the
NVMe SSD drives.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide four SATA 3.0 (6/Gbps)
ports), which support RAID 0, 1 and 10. RAID 5 is supported with Windows OS only.
