Gigabyte Technology Company introduced the first single-processor motherboard workstation platform LGA 2011, which carries a built-in controller and an Ethernet port 10 Gb / s. Gigabyte GA-6PXSVT combines widespread ATX form factor and offers superfast network connection. To all this must be added opportunities for the formation of the disk system, the support for the Intel Xeon E5-1600 v2 and E5-2600 v2 (architecture Ivy Bridge), as well as the maximum amount allowable level memory with support for 256 GB ECC.
Usually 10GbE port comprising workstations presents expansion card PCI Express. Gigabyte has simplified the implementation of network solutions at this level by an on-motherboard controller 82599EN company Intel (this is the third generation of interface controllers supporting SFP +). Additionally, there are two on-board Ethernet port 1 Gbit / s.
Disk system, organized by the board Gigabyte GA-6PXSVT, can work with 14 drives, 10 of which focused on the standard SATA 6 Gb / s, and the remaining four - to SATA 3Gb / s. Ports are implemented as forces chipset Intel C602, and specialized discrete controller Marvell 88SE9230. Both controllers allow to create RAID-configuration: 0/1/10/5 using Intel C602 and 0/1/10 via Marvell 88SE9230.
The memory subsystem is armed with eight DIMM slots with quad organization and memory support ECC UDIMM / RDIMM. Slot memory slots for adapters oriented in the same direction, thereby optimizing the air flow to remove heat from the components of the motherboard. Slots for PCI Express adapters that add support third version of PCI Express and configured according to the scheme x16.
