HPM-SRSUA: A High Performance Computing Motherboard with IPMI 2.0 Support

BCM, USA, 21.06.2023 - BCM’s HPM-SRSUA is a server-grade ATX motherboard (12”x9.6”) powered by the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, formerly Sapphire Rapids, in LGA4677 single-socket platform. The 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors have the most built-in accelerators of any CPU on the market to improve performance in AI, analytics, networking, storage, and HPC.

A similar platform with dual CPU sockets, HPM-SRSDE, will be introduced later in Q3 for applications that require advanced high-performance computing.

Fewer surprises with product continuity and long-life availability

HPM-SRSUA is designed to deliver flexibility and server-class performance in industries that are accustomed to lengthy certification cycles. Compute continuity is the highest priority for our customers, who need to minimize the impact of bringing in new products. Customers are going to get the earliest possible access to the latest tech while benefitting from the longest possible product life cycle.

Why IPMI 2.0 Remote Monitoring and Management?

The inclusion of an onboard baseboard management controller (BMC) and the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI 2.0) offers system administrators the ability to monitor and manage hardware remotely, regardless of their location and time zone. This convenient accessibility empowers administrators to perform various tasks, such as adjusting startup settings, conducting real-time system health diagnostics, executing firmware and operating system upgrades, and scheduling predictive maintenance. Furthermore, the IPMI status monitor provides administrators with crucial information, including CPU temperature, fan speed, voltage monitoring, fan speed control, and case open detection data. IPMI plays a significant role in smart healthcare, medical, smart manufacturing, smart cities, and other safety-critical applications that require long-lasting systems, high performance, security, and remote management.
