1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5017GR-TF server is the X9SRG-F, a single proces-
sor motherboard based on the Intel C602 chipset. Below are the main features of
the X9SRG-F. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X9SRG-F supports a single Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors in LGA 2011
sockets (Socket R). Please refer to the motherboard description pages on our web
site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X9SRG-F has eight DIMM slots that can support up to 256 GB of unbuffered
ECC DDR3-1600/1333/1066/800 RDIMMs or 64 GB of DDR3, unbuffered non-ECC
UDIMMs up to 1600 MHz. Modules of the same size and speed are recommended.
See Chapter 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a 10-port SATA subsystem,
which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported. Two of these are SATA 3.0 ports and eight
are SATA 2.0 ports. The SATA drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the SATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X9SRG-F has two PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots to support three double-width
GPU cards. An additional slot supports one PCI-Express 3.0 x8 low-profi le card.
I/O Ports
The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB
2.0 ports, two Gb Ethernet LAN ports and one dedicated IPMI LAN port.
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.
