Gigabyte H242-Z10 Edge Server - System Overview

Description

Gigabyte H242-Z10 front panel view

The Gigabyte H242-Z10 edge server is very similar to the H242-Z11 Edge server but instead of the server nodes being accessible from the front of the server, all four are hot-swappable from the back. That said, the capabilities are nearly identical. Each server node features a single AMD EPYC 7001, 7002, or 7003 series processor and is allocated one of the 4x front mounted NVMe drive bays.

Performance

There are two different versions on this system the revision A00 (rev. A00) and revision 100 (rev.100). The A00 is the latest version and supports AMD EPYC 7001, 7002, and 7003 series CPUs with up to 64 cores, and is accomplished using a simple BIOS and chipset driver update. Processors are limited to a thermal design point (TDP) of up to 240W but there is conditional support for CPUs up to 280W. If installing M.2 drives TDP is limited to 155W.

Memory

Each of the 4x server nodes in the chassis has 8x memory module slots, each occupying its own memory channel. Supported memory module types include standard registered (RDIMM) and load reduced (LRDIMM) memory modules but 3DS RDIMM and LRDIMM memory modules will provide the highest capacity at up to 2TB with all sots fitted with 256GB modules. Memory speeds of up to 3200MHz are supported assuming both CPU and memory modules support that speed.

Storage

Storage is fairly limited on this system with 4x 2.5-inch storage bays on the front of the system, with 1x allocated to each of the 4x server nodes. All storage bays are compatible with NVMe and SATA storage devices. SAS drives are not supported. Each node also offers two PCIe Gen3 x4 slots for support of PCIe M.2 drives, that can be used for additional storage or to support the OS.

Expansion

In addition to an open compute project (OCP) 2.0 card slot on the system board, each server node also has 2x low-profile, half-length x16 PCIe slots. One of the x16 slots supports PCIe Gen 4.0 bus speeds while the other has a PCIe 3.0 connection. The OCP 2.0 card can be ordered in a variety of different port options and connection speeds, and Network Communications Services Interface (NCSI) is supported. Also, previously mentioned, there are dual slots on the system board for support of M.2* drives, one is PCIe 4.0 and the other PCIe 3.0.

*CPU TDP is limited to 155W if using M.2 device

Management

Along with the dedicated mLAN port on each of the 4x server nodes to access the Aspeed AST2500 baseboard management controller (BMC), the Gigabyte H242-Z10 Edge Server also supports the GIGABYTE Management Console web interface based on the AMI MegaRAC SP-X. There are also 2x proprietary software management suites offered free of charge from Gigabyte. The Gigabyte management Console for management and maintenance of a server or small cluster and the Gigabyte Server Management (GSM) for managing clusters of servers over the Internet. GSM needs to be downloaded and the Gigabyte Management Console is pre-installed on each server.

Summary

With 4x independent server nodes featuring AMD’s 7001, 7002, or 7003 series EPYC processors on the 2U Gigabyte H242-Z10 edge server, you have options for supporting a wide range of applications. With a short chassis length and high-performance features, AI and Edge applications can easily be addressed on site.
