Supermicro Storage SuperServer 542B-E1CR60 - System Overview
Designed for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, healthcare image archives, and more, the Supermicro 542B-E1CR60 storage is powered by a single Intel Xeon 6700 or 6500 series processor with P-cores or 6700 series processors with E-cores. CPUs supported deliver up to 144 cores, 144 threads, and are limited to a maximum TDP of 350W when air-cooled. At full capacity the system can be outfitted with up to 2TB of RDIMM memory across 16x memory module slots. The 542B-E1CR60 supports memory speeds of up to 6400MT/s with a single DIMM per channel. However, installing 2x DIMMs per channel reduces the speed to 5200MT/s.
For expansion, the Storage SuperServer 542B-E1CR60 motherboard offers up to 4x PCIe 5.0 slots, including 1x PCIe 5.0 x8 HHHL and 3x PCIe 5.0 x16 HHHL slots. It also supports 2x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x2 NVMe slots (M-key 2280/22110) that can be used to boot the system or for additional super-fast storage. Powering the system are 2x 2000W redundant Titanium Level (96%) power supplies. The system can be managed using software solutions like SuperCloud Composer, Supermicro Server Manager (SSM), and SuperServer Automation Assistant (SAA) for easy remote management and automation. SuperCloud Composer simplifies the setup, monitoring, and automation of Supermicro servers. It allows administrators to handle large-scale deployments, optimize power usage, automate updates, and track system health from a single interface.
