1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 1028U Series lies the X10DRU-i+, a dual processor
serverboard based on the Intel PCH C612 chipset. Below are the main features of
the serverboard. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The server supports single or dual Intel E5-2600v3 Series processors in R3 LGA
2011 sockets (Socket R3). Refer to the Supermicro web site for a complete listing
of supported processors.
Memory
The server features 24 DIMM slots that can support up to 1536 GB of ECC
Load Reduction (LRDIMM) or up to 768 GB of ECC Registered (RDIMM) DDR4-
2133/1866/1600/1333 SDRAM. Some models also support NVMe solid state
memory (see the table in Section 1-1).
NVMe
The NVM Express 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.
Onboard Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port SATA sub-
system. Six of the ports are supported by the Intel PCH and four of the ports are
supported by the Intel SCU. The SATA 3.0 ports are connected to the backplane
by default. RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported by Intel RSTe Software RAID.
Input/Output
The system comes with basic I/O ports for VGA, COM, five USB 3.0, and one
IPMI connection. In addition, there are several possible networking configurations
depending on the pre-installed Ultra riser card. See the table in Section 1-1.
