Another Step Forward in Energy Efficiency and TCO

Building on the tremendous success of their predecessors, the new AMD EPYC 8004 Series processors continue to push AMD’s 5nm “Zen 4c” architecture with a focus on greater energy efficiency and cost optimized. The new 8004 series achieves higher performance/watt and performance/$ and of this is achieved while retaining the features of mainstream general-purpose processors, including PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory with ECC support. The AMD EPYC 8004 Series processors are best suited for cloud service providers, edge/telco, storage, and SMB.

Cold Redundancy

To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.

High Availability Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)

To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.

Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP)

SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss.

Dual ROM Architecture

If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.

Hardware 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.

User Friendly Tool-less Drive Bays Design

Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds.

OCP 3.0 Ready

GIGABYTE offers servers that feature an onboard OCP 3.0 slot for the next generation of add on cards. Advantages of this new type include:

Easy Serviceability:
Simply slot in or pull out the card, without opening the server or using tools
Improved thermal design:
Horizontal position and optimal heat sink design allow for air cooling to eliminate the heat efficiently

Certified Ready with Software Partners

Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization.

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.
