Gigabyte AMD MZ01-CE1 ATX EPYC Motherboard

Comprehensive I/O

Both single and dual-socket CPUs come equipped with 128x PCIe lanes, providing extensive I/O options. The increased I/O allows for more flexibility in extending storage and networking so you can compute to a level previously unattainable with standard server motherboards. Additionally, the integrated nature of the processor, designed as a system-on-chip (SoC) means that there is no need for a separate PCH and there are less additional switches needed for expansion lanes.

Onboard M.2

GIGABYTE AMD EPYC™ platforms are designed to support on-board ‘M.2’ storage devices for time-sensitive operations and leaves room on the standard storage for compute tasks. Delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speeds, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA devices.

TPM 2.0 Module

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

Carefully Selected Components

GIGABYTE’s passive components are meticulously selected to guarantee a super stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance. GIGABYTE’s server motherboards are built with ultra long lasting components for the highest reliability attainable which allows us to offer some of the most durable servers in the industry.

NVIDIA® Tesla® V100 Support

GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC server systems and motherboards are fully compatible and qualified to use with NVIDIA®’s Tesla® V100 GPU, the world’s most advanced data center GPU ever built to accelerate AI, HPC, and graphics. Powered by NVIDIA’s Volta™ architecture and with 640 Tensor Cores, Tesla® V100 is the world’s first GPU to break the 100 teraflops (TFLOPS) barrier of deep learning performance — enabling data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.

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 (RESTful API) 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, 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.

Intuitive & Informative User Interface

Starting from the GSM Server dashboard, the user can clearly understand the status of each node in the IT environment, including:

• Node connection status (system is online/offline).
• Node hardware sensor status (to detect hardware anomalies). Sensors measure voltage, fan speed and temperature.
• Node usage rate status (allowing you to timely allocate more resources when they are needed), including:
• Power consumption.
• Disk/RAID usage information.
• Memory usage rate.
• CPU usage rate.
• Network card / PCI information.

GSM Mobile for iOS and Android

A GSM Mobile app is available for download for both iOS and Android mobile phones for remote server management on the go.

Management through VMware vCenter

A GSM Plugin is available for VMware’s vCenter, allowing the user to perform remote monitoring and management of GIGABYTE server nodes without having to switch to a separate software platform.

Easy BIOS Upgrade

GIGABYTE has developed this integrated function (requiring no additional software) that allows users to update the BIOS of motherboards through the BMC controller:

• No need to install core components such as CPUs, memory, drives and OS.
• No need to power on the system (NB. PSU must be connected).
• Update individual (IPMI 2.0) or multiple boards simultaneously (Command Line).

Environmental Compliance

GIGABYTE maintains its commitment to green products, and adheres to the latest RoHS regulations (in effect July 2017).
