Gigabyte AMD EPYC 8004, AMD-SoC, ATX Server Motherboard – 2x 10Gb/s Broadcom LAN, 1x Management Board (ME03-CE0 rev. rev. 1.0)

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.

5nm architecture

Compute density increased with more transistors packed in less space

Zen 4c cores

Rearranged CPU design creates even higher core density at 5nm

SP6 compatibility

The new socket lowers BOM cost while keeping future upgrade potential

DDR5 memory

Increased memory throughput and higher DDR5 capacity

PCIe 5.0 lanes

Increased I/O throughput achieving 128GB/s bandwidth

CXL 1.1+ support

Disaggregated compute architecture possible via Compute Express Link

Low TDP

Lowest TDP in the EPYC portfolio with improved perf/W and perf/$

SFF design

Smaller form factor enables shallow depth and small-footprint server designs

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.

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

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.
   

GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. 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.
