PCIe® 4.0 Ready

AMD EPYC Rome is ready to support PCIe® 4.0 with a bandwidth of 64GB/s, twice that of PCIe 3.0. This doubles the bandwidth available from the CPU to peripheral devices such as graphics cards, storage devices and high speed network cards. GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC 7002 Series server platforms are ready to be used with a new generation of PCIe 4.0 devices such as AMD’s Radeon MI50 GPGPU.

* The PCIe 4.0 standard supports a 16 GT/s bit rate, (roughly 2GB/s per single lane) as opposed to 8GT/s bit rate for PCIe 3.0 (1GB/s).

Higher Memory Speed

AMD EPYC’s Rome 7002 Series processors feature faster 8 channel DDR4 memory lanes, supporting RDIMM or LRDIMM memory modules with a speed of up to 3200MHz (1 DIMM per channel)

Max TDP Support

GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC server platforms come ready to support the full list of AMD EPYC 7002 Series processors: up to 225W (standard TDP) / 280W (cTDP)

Data Security

TPM 2.0 Module

GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC Server is designed to support Trusted Platform Modules (TPM - discrete cryptographic on-board processors).

Carefully Selected Components

GIGABYTE’s passive components are carefully selected to guarantee a stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance. GIGABYTE’s server motherboards are built with long lasting components for a high degree of reliability and durability.

GIGABYTE Management Console

GIGABYTE server utilizes the AMI MegaRAC SP-X solution for BMC server management, has a browser-based graphical user interface, and is feature-rich and easy to use.

  • RESTful API support includes the latest DMTF standard of Redfish. Allows integration with 3rd party applications for server management
  • Including HTML5 based iKVM remote management client, no need to purchase other additional licenses
  • Detailed FRU information from SMBIOS
  • 10 to 30 seconds pre-event automatic recording function
  • SAS / RAID controller monitoring function

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM) is GIGABYTE’s proprietary multiple server remote management software platform, available as a free download from each GIGABYTE server product page. GSM is compatible with either IPMI or Redfish connection interfaces, and comprises the following sub-programs:

  • GSM Server
    A software program with an easy to use browser-based GUI to enable global remote monitoring and management of multiple GIGABYTE servers via each server node’s BMC.
  • GSM CLI (GBT Utility)
    A command-line interface program to enable global remote monitoring and management of multiple GIGABYTE servers via each server node’s BMC.
  • GSM Agent
    A software program installed locally on each GIGABYTE server node that retrieves additional node information (CPU/Mem/HDD/PCI/…) from the OS and passes it to the BMC. This information can then be utilized by GSM Server or GSM CLI.
  • GSM Mobile
    A remote server management mobile APP, available for both Android and iOS.
  • GSM Plugin
    A plugin that allows the user to manage and monitor GIGABYTE server nodes within VMware’s vCenter.
