Supermicro Advanced I/O Module (AIOM)
The Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) delivers up to 50% of I/O cost savings and freedom to
select networking options from 1Gb/s to100Gb/s through a Supermicro optimized form factor
that is easy to scale, service and manage across a broad range of Supermicro server and
storage systems. The AIOM also enables a higher degree of system integration and increased
capacity by saving PCIe slots that are traditionally reserved for add on cards.
This optional I/O module may be installed in the slot provided in the back of the chassis, as
shown below.
