Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
The H12SSFF-AN6 motherboards offer maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency,
and data reliability in a 7-nm process architecture, and is optimized for high performance
computing, NVMe storage solutions, and ideal for High Density Data Center applications.
The H12SSFF-AN6 supports the new microarchitecture 7-nm process technology, which
drastically increases system performance for a multitude of server applications.
The AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series processor supports the following features:
•
ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 6.1
•
Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
•
PCIe 4.0, SATA 3.0 w/transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s
•
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification Version 2.0
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the H12SSFF-AN6. The motherboard
has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the H12SSFF-AN6 motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports
system health monitoring. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error
message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can
adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time readings
of these voltage levels are all displayed in BMC.
