Processor And Chipset Overview; Special Features - Supermicro X11DPFR-S(N) User Manual

1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx
series processors (Socket P) and the Intel C621 chipset, the X11DPFR-S(N) motherboard
provides system performance, power efficiency, and feature sets to address the needs of
next-generation computer users. With 6-channel memory support and four NVMe ports, the
X11DPFR-S(N) provides maximum performance, cutting-edge memory technology, and PCI-E
capacity. This motherboard is optimized for general purpose server platforms.
The dual Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx series processors and the Intel C621 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
Note: Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in the system.

1.3 Special Features

This section describes the health monitoring features of the motherboard. The motherboard
