Designed for general purpose storage server, the Gigabyte G221-Z30 server supports a single AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor. It offers up to 2TB of memory plus 16x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA storage bays up front. It will also support two double-slot GPU cards, like the Nvidia V100 GPU.
Even with only a single AMD EPYC processor, the Gigabyte G221-Z30 GPU server is an excellent choice for use as a general-purpose storage or GPU server. It offers generous up-front storage with 16x 2.5-inch hot-swappable HDD/SSD drive bays, plus support for 2x super-fast M.2 storage devices on the motherboard. The system is outfitted with dual redundant 1200W 80 PLUS Platinum PSUs.
The server is currently on its third motherboard revision, MZ31-AR0 Rev. 3.0, which includes the latest AMD EPYC 7003 (Milan) processors for the rev. B00 version. The rev. A00 supports AMD EPYC 2nd Gen (Rome) processors, featuring the same number of cores as its successor. With only a single 7002 or 7003 processor, the system can apply up to 64 cores and 128 threads of computational power, up to a thermal design point of 225W. Each processor also supports 8x memory channels at speeds of up to 3200Mhz.
Both registered (RDIMM) And Load-reduced (LRDIMM) DDR4 memory modules are supported. With all 16x memory module slots outfitted with 128GB LRDIMM memory modules the system will support a maximum of 2TB of memory. Using RDIMMs the G221-Z30 will only support a top memory capacity of 1TB using 64GB modules in all 16x slots.
16x 2.5-inch drive bays up front support SAS or SATA drives operating at 12GB and 6G respectively. If you plan on installing SAS drives or need more control over your storage, a dedicated PCIe HD/RAID controller is recommended.
There are two riser cards on this system each of which supports 1x PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 slot and 1x PCIe Gen 3.0 x8 slot. The two x16 slots can be used to support for the optional double-wide GPUs. The other PCIe Gen 3.0 x8 slots can be used to support an optional RAID card or high-speed network card. There are also two SFP+ 10Gb/s LAN ports on the back of the system.
Management of the Gigabyte G221-Z30 GPU server is handled by the integrated platform management interface or IPMI and provides access to the Aspeed AST2500 management controller for remote and at chassis management. Also available free to download is Gigabyte’s Server Management (GSM), which is compatible with both IPMI and Redfish API. Another interesting management features is Gigabyte’s patented Smart Crisis Management/ Protection or SCMP. SCMP will automatically force the system CPU to enter ultra-low frequency mode for minimal power consumption (ULFM) when the BMC detects a fault or error with a PSU or fan problem that causes overheating or a power surge. Once the fault is addressed and the component replaced, the system will automatically return to normal operation.
With abundant storage up front and AMD’s EPYC series 7002 or 7003 processors delivering up to 64 cores and 128 threads, the Gigabyte G221-Z30 GPU server is a very flexible platform. It’s also a very cost-efficient high-performance computing solution for develop and research applications.
