Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction 1-1 Overview The 5038AD-I is a high-end system comprised of two main subsystems: the GS5A-753R mid-tower chassis and the C7X99-OCE single Intel® processor motherboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certified for use with the system 5038AD-I (www.supermicro.com).
5038AD-I User's Manual 1-2 Motherboard Features At the heart of the system 5038AD-I lies the C7X99-OCE, a single processor motherboard based on the Intel X99 Express chipset. Below are the main features of the C7X99-OCE. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset). Processors The C7X99-OCE supports a single Intel® processor in an Intel LGA 2011-3 (R3) socket.
Chapter 1: Introduction Onboard Controllers/Ports Both the motherboard and chassis include the following I/O ports: • • • • • • Eight (8) USB 3.0 ports (six (6) rear I/O panel and two (2) front panel) Two (2) RJ-45 rear I/O panel connector One (1) Serial port header (COM1) on the motherboard One (1) rear I/O panel High Definition Audio 7.
5038AD-I User's Manual PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU core, +3.3V, +5V, +/- 12V, +3.3V Stby, +5V Stby, VBAT, HT, Memory PCH Temperature, System Temperature, and CPU Temperature. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen.
Chapter 1: Introduction In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation.
5038AD-I User's Manual System Power The 5038AD-I features a single 750 Watt power supply. This power supply unit has been designed to operate at a low noise level to make it ideal for use in a noisesensitive environment. Hard Drives The GS5A-753R chassis standard configuration includes two 5.25" drive bays, four 2.5" drive bays, and six combination bays that can house either 3.5" or 2.5" drives. • • • Each 5.25" bay can be configured to accept a 3.5"drive, or one or two 2.
