GIGABYTE MW83-RP0 SERVER BOARD

Intel^® Xeon^® W-3500 & W-2500 Platform

New Expert 1S and Mainstream Workstation Solutions

Compute heavy workloads rely on the best and latest CPU technology to deliver excellent performance while the new Xeon line of processors with Intel spans from high-end to more affordable chips. Intel’s new workstation processors bring many important technological advancements that greatly benefit a wide range of disciplines from Engineering to Data Science to Media & Entertainment. PCIe 5.0 provides the highest possible throughput between CPU and GPU or SSD, including support for CXL devices. Couple that with higher CPU performance across all workloads, these new Xeon workstation CPUs can also crunch memory intensive workloads faster with DDR5 memory and AI/DL workloads have more floating point formats to choose from.

MW83-RP0 Product Overview

MW83-RP0 is an expert workstation motherboard which is designed to support Intel^® Xeon^® W-3500/3400 & W-2500/2400 Processors including the all-new architecture optimizes CPU performance so that creatives, engineers and data scientists can work at their best computing environment.

High Performance

Supports up to 4 x Dual-slot Accelerators

Intel^® Xeon^® W-3500/3400 with up to 112 PCIe 5.0 lanes for multi-GPU support gives creators more configuration flexibility to equip the variety combination of hardware accelerators.

MW83-RP0 equips several new components to ensure the best PCIe 5.0 signal bandwidth and quality, including low-loss PCB, PCIe Slots, Re-drivers, Switches that are specifically designed for PCIe 5.0. There will be no compromise on PCIe 5.0 performance on PCIe interface.

Multiple Storage Interface

2 x NVMe M.2 and 8 x SATA

Plentiful NVMe and SATA Storage interface can fulfill your hot and cold data processing requirement at once.

• 2 x M.2 2280 SSD slots (PCIe 4.0×4)
• 2 x SlimSAS ports (8 x SATAIII)

Connectivity

Dual Intel^® 10GbE LAN

The Intel^® X710-AT2 supports 2 x 10GbE configuration which is the foundation for server connectivity, providing broad interoperability, critical performance optimizations, and increased agility for Communications, Cloud, and Enterprise IT network solutions.

Harwdare Security

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.

Value-added Management

GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge management applications via a specialized small processor built on the server.

GIGABYTE Management Console

For management and maintenance of a server or a small cluster, users can use the GIGABYTE Management Console, which is pre-installed on each server. Once the servers are running, IT staff can perform real-time health monitoring and management on each server through the browser-based graphical user interface. In addition, the GIGABYTE Management Console also provides:

• Support for standard IPMI specifications that allows users to integrate services into a single platform through an open interface
• Automatic event recording, which can record system behavior 30 seconds before an event occurs, making it easier to determine subsequent actions
• Integrate SAS/SATA/NVMe devices and RAID controller firmware into GIGABYTE Management Console to monitor and control Broadcom^® MegaRAID adapters.

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. GSM can be run on all GIGABYTE servers and has support for Windows and Linux. GSM can be downloaded from GIGABYTE website and complies with IPMI and Redfish standards. GSM includes a complete range of system management functions that includes the following utilities:

• GSM Server: A software program that provides real-time, remote control using a graphical user interface through an administrator’s computer or through a server in the cluster. The software allows ease of maintenance for large clusters of servers.
• GSM CLI: A command-line interface for monitoring and managing remotely.
• GSM Agent: A software program installed on each GIGABYTE server node that retrieves information from each system and devices through the OS, and this software integrates with GSM Server or GSM CLI.
• GSM Mobile: A mobile app for both Android and iOS that provides admins with real-time system information.
• GSM Plugin: An application program interface that allows users to use VMware vCenter for real-time monitoring and management of server clusters.
