1-2 Motherboard Features

The 5038ML-H24TRF includes a total of 12 X10SLE-DF single processor mother-

boards, which are based on the Intel C224 PCH chipset. Each motherboard consti-

tutes two nodes in the system by supporting two independent CPUs. Below are the

main features of the X10SLE-DF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)

Processors

Each X10SLE-DF supports two Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v3 processor (up to 80W) or

4th Gen Core i3, Pentium®, Celeron® processor in an LGA1150 socket (Socket H3).

Please refer to the motherboard description pages on our web site for a complete

listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

Each X10SLE-DF consists of two nodes, each node has four DIMM slots that can

support up to 32 GB of ECC DDR3-1600/1333 UDIMM (Unbuffered), VLP(Very Low

Proﬁle) memory. This equates to a maximum of 768 GB for the system. Memory

modules of the same size and speed should be used. See Chapter 5 for details.

SATA

A SATA controller integrated into the chipset provides a two-port SATA 3.0 subsys-

tem on each node. Each motherboard supports two 2.5” HDD or four 2.5" slim SSD

hard drives (with an optional kit).

Rear I/O Ports

The rear I/O panel on each motherboard includes one KVM connector, four Gb

Ethernet LAN ports (two for each node), one dedicated IPMI LAN port, a power

button and a node switch (for KVM).

IPMI

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-

ﬁcation 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. Each node features IPMI 2.0 with KVM over a

dedicated LAN port.
