1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the A+ SERVER 4042G-TRF is one H8QGi-F quad processor
serverboard. For the A+ SERVER 4042G-6RF, the serverboard is H8QG6-F. Both
are based on the SR5690/SR5670/SP5100 chipset.
Processors
The H8QG6/i-F supports four AMD Opteron 6000 series (Socket G34 type) proces-
sors. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of supported processors
(www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The H8QG6/i-F has thirty-two (32) single/dual/tri/quad channel DIMM slots support-
ing up to 1 TB of DDR3-1600/1333/1066 Mhz registered ECC or 256 GB of DDR3
Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC SDRAM. See Chapter 5 Section 6 for more details on
installing memory into the system.
SAS (4042G-6RF Only)
An LSI 2008 SAS2 controller is integrated into the H8QG6-F to provide an eight
port SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, and 10 supported.
(Optional RAID 5 support is available with the RAIDKEY installed.) The SAS drives
are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the
hotswap capability and RAID function of the SAS drives.
Serial ATA
The South Bridge (SP5100) of the chipset includes a Serial ATA controller for six
3 Gb/s SATA drives. The hot-swappable SATA drives are connected to a backplane
that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. RAID 0, 1, and 10
are supported. Refer to the support area of our web site for procedures on setting
up RAID on your system.
