X11DDW-L/NT User's Manual

1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Dual Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx
series processors (Socket P) and the
motherboard provides system performance, power efficiency, and feature sets to address
the needs of next-generation computer users. With features like a 6-channel DDR4 memory
controller and up to 28 cores with Hyper-Threading technology, the X11DDW-L/NT provides
maximum performance, system cooling, and PCI-E capacity. This motherboard is optimized
for general purpose server platforms.
The Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx series processor and the Intel C621/C622 PCH
support the following features:
•
Intel® AVX-512 support with memory bandwidth increase to 6 channels (x1.5 from the
previous generation)
•
High availability interconnect between multiple nodes
•
Rich set of available IOs, full flexibility in usage model, and software stack
•
Dedicated subsystems for customer innovation
•
Increased platform security with Intel® Boot Guard for hardware-based boot integrity pro-
tection; prevention of buffer overflow class security threads
•
Integrated solution for real-time compression, streaming write & read performance in-
creases from gen-to-gen
•
Hot plug and enclosure management with Intel Volume Management Device (Intel VMD)
•
Single standard server development (Accelerate NFV transition) consolidating application,
control, and data plane workloads, reducing total platform investment needs

1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the motherboard. The motherboard
has an onboard ASpeed 2500 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that supports system
health monitoring.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
