H261-Z61<\/span> Dual Socket Den\u00adsi\u00adty Opti\u00admi\u00adzed Rack\u00admount Server<\/strong><\/b>
\nThe H261-Z61<\/span><\/a> is the new vari\u00adant of GIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s first AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 2U<\/span> 4 node H261-Z60<\/span><\/a> ser\u00adver released in June, adding sup\u00adport for 8 x U.2 dri\u00adves (2 x U.2 dri\u00adves per node) for addi\u00adtio\u00adnal ultra-fast flash sto\u00adrage capa\u00adci\u00adty. Both the H261-Z60<\/span> and H261-Z61<\/span> com\u00adbi\u00adne 4 indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal hot pluggab\u00adle sli\u00adding node trays into a 2U<\/span> ser\u00adver box. The node trays slide in and out easi\u00adly from the rear of the unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each node of the H261-Z61<\/span> sup\u00adports dual AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7000 series pro\u00adces\u00adsors, with up to 32 cores, 64 threads and 8 chan\u00adnels of memo\u00adry per CPU<\/span>. The\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre, each node can fea\u00adture up to 64 cores and 128 threads of com\u00adpu\u00adte power. Memo\u00adry wise, each socket uti\u00adli\u00adzes EPYC<\/span>\u2019s 8 chan\u00adnels of memo\u00adry with 1 x DIMM<\/span> per chan\u00adnel \/ 8 x DIMMS<\/span> per socket, for a total capa\u00adci\u00adty of 16 x DIMMS<\/span> per node (over 2TB<\/span> of memo\u00adry sup\u00adport\u00aded per each node).<\/span><\/p>\n

GIGABYTE<\/span> has recent\u00adly demons\u00adtra\u00adted that our ser\u00adver design is per\u00adfect\u00adly opti\u00admi\u00adzed for AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span>, clai\u00adming the world record for the MOST<\/span> ener\u00adgy-effi\u00adci\u00adent AMD-based ser\u00adver by achie\u00adving the top score of the SPECpower_ssj2008<\/strong><\/b> bench\u00admark (mea\u00adsu\u00adring per\u00adfor\u00admance to power ratio) for dual socket AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> ser\u00adver systems*<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n*Tes\u00adted with AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7601 pro\u00adces\u00adsors; published as of Octo\u00adber 17th 2018, results can be found here:

Ultra-Fast Sto\u00adrage Support<\/strong><\/b>
\nIn the front of the unit are 24 x 2.5\u201d hot-swappable dri\u00adve bays, fea\u00adturing sup\u00adport for 2 x U.2 dri\u00adves and 4 x SATA<\/span> \/ SATA<\/span> dri\u00adves per each node (for a total capa\u00adci\u00adty of 8 x U.2 dri\u00adves and 16 x SATA<\/span> \/ SAS<\/span> dri\u00adves per sys\u00adtem). In addi\u00adti\u00adon, each node fea\u00adtures dual onboard M.2 ports to sup\u00adport addi\u00adtio\u00adnal flash sto\u00adrage device such as an OS<\/span> boot disk.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best-In Class Expan\u00adsi\u00adon Flexibility<\/strong><\/b>
\nDual 1GbE LAN<\/span> ports are inte\u00adgra\u00adted into each node as a stan\u00addard net\u00adwor\u00adking opti\u00adon. In addi\u00adti\u00adon, each node fea\u00adtures 2 x half-length low pro\u00adfi\u00adle PCIe Gen3 x 16 slots and 1 x OCP<\/span> Gen3 x 16 mez\u00adza\u00adni\u00adne slots. GIGABYTE<\/span> deli\u00advers best-in class expan\u00adsi\u00adon slot opti\u00adons for this form factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Easy &<\/span> Effi\u00adci\u00adent Mul\u00adti Node Management<\/strong><\/b>
\nThe H261-Z61<\/span> fea\u00adtures a sys\u00adtem-wide Aspeed AST1050<\/span> CMC<\/span> (Cen\u00adtral Manage\u00adment Con\u00adtrol\u00adler) and LAN<\/span> modu\u00adle switch, con\u00adnec\u00adting intern\u00adal\u00adly to Aspeed AST2500<\/span> BMCs inte\u00adgra\u00adted on each node. This results only in one MLAN<\/span> con\u00adnec\u00adtion requi\u00adred for manage\u00adment of all four nodes, resul\u00adting in less ToR (Top of Rack) cabling and less ports requi\u00adred on your top of rack switch (only one port ins\u00adtead for four requi\u00adred for remo\u00adte manage\u00adment of all nodes).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ring Topo\u00adlo\u00adgy Manage\u00adment for Even Grea\u00adter Efficiency<\/strong><\/b>
\nGoing a step fur\u00adther, the H261-Z61<\/span> also fea\u00adtures* the abili\u00adty to crea\u00adte a \u201cring\u201d con\u00adnec\u00adtion for manage\u00adment of all ser\u00advers in a rack. Only two switch con\u00adnec\u00adtions are nee\u00added, while each ser\u00adver is con\u00adnec\u00adted to each other in a chain. The ring will not be bro\u00adken even if one ser\u00adver in the chain is shut down. This can even fur\u00adther redu\u00adce cabling and switch port usa\u00adge for even grea\u00adter cost savings and manage\u00adment efficiency.

Effi\u00adci\u00adent Power &<\/span> Cooling<\/strong><\/b>
\nGIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s H261-Z61<\/span> is desi\u00adgned for not only grea\u00adter com\u00adpu\u00adte den\u00adsi\u00adty but also with bet\u00adter relia\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty and cost effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy in mind. The sys\u00adtem archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre fea\u00adtures shared coo\u00adling and power for the nodes, with a dual fan wall of 8 (4 x 2) easy swap fans for coo\u00adling red\u00adun\u00addan\u00adcy and 2 x 2200W<\/span> red\u00adun\u00addant PSUs. In addi\u00adti\u00adon, the nodes con\u00adnect direct\u00adly to the sys\u00adtem back\u00adpla\u00adne with GIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s Direct Board Con\u00adnec\u00adtion Tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy, resul\u00adting in less cabling and impro\u00adved air\u00adflow for bet\u00adter coo\u00adling efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

MZ01-CE0<\/span> \/ CE1<\/span> Sin\u00adgle Socket ATX<\/span> Motherboards<\/strong><\/b>
\nGIGABYTE<\/span> has also added two new ser\u00adver mother\u00adboards to our AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adduct line-up: MZ01-CE0<\/span><\/a> and MZ01-CE1<\/span><\/a>, fea\u00adturing a work\u00adsta\u00adtion fri\u00adend\u00adly ATX<\/span> form-fac\u00adtor and lay\u00adout, and the abili\u00adty to install up to four dual slot GPU<\/span> cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The MZ01-CE0<\/span> and MZ01-CE1<\/span> both fea\u00adture sin\u00adgle socket AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7000-series pro\u00adces\u00adsors for up to 32 cores and 64 threads of com\u00adpu\u00adte power, and with 8 chan\u00adnels of memo\u00adry and 8 x DIMM<\/span> slots for a total capa\u00adci\u00adty of 1,024TB<\/span> of memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both mother\u00adboards also fea\u00adture an onboard M.2 port for a high speed flash sto\u00adrage device, as well as four SlimS\u00adAS ports for up to 16 x SATAIII<\/span> sto\u00adrage devices.<\/span><\/p>\n
