GIGABYTE S453-Z30-AAV2 (Rev. 3.x)

The GIGABYTE S453-Z30-AAV2 is a 4U single-socket storage-optimized server built around the AMD EPYC™ 9005/9004 series processor platform. It supports up to 24 DIMMs of DDR5 memory across 12-channels, includes 24 front-hot-swappable 3.5"/2.5" SATA/SAS bays, plus 12 rear hot-swappable bays and 2 dedicated rear boot drive bays, driven via a SAS expander supporting up to 12 Gb/s. With four low-profile PCIe Gen5 ×16 slots, dual 10 Gb/s LAN ports, an M.2 boot slot (PCIe Gen4 ×4) and dual 1600 W 80 Plus Titanium redundant power supplies, this server is designed to deliver dense, high-capacity storage performance with enterprise-grade reliability and management.

Architecture for Modern Data Centers

Enterprise Solutions for AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series Processors

New AMD EPYC™ Family of Processors - Same Great SP5 Platform

The SP5 socket has reached its pinnacle form with 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ processors. The same successful platform that was shared by AMD EPYC™ 9004 & 8004 series processors is now the same one for AMD EPYC™ 9005 series processors. With up to 192 cores, increased frequencies and cache, this top tier performance platform targets general purpose, cloud native, and technical computing. Building on the advantages of the EPYC™ 9004 series, the new EPYC™ 9005 series adopts the 3nm process with AMD “Zen5” and “Zen5c” core architecture, excelling in both energy efficiency and cost optimization. GIGABYTE has already prepared for this new processor with new servers and updates to existing products for 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors.

Easy, Flexible & Powerful Storage Deployment

The Gigabyte S453-Z30-AAV2 (Rev. 3.x) offers the following advantages to your storage deployment:

• x86 architecture means compatibility with a large variety of SDS (Software Defined Storage) platforms & applications

• 36 x 3.5” SATA/SAS drive bays for large scale out capacity, over 500TB raw capacity per server

• Rear 2 x 2.5” SATA drive bays for OS disks

GIGABYTE has also validated and created reference architectures for our products with various open source software defined storage systems to help make your deployment even faster and easier.

Hardware Security

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.

Power Efficiency

Automatic Fan Speed Control

GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.

Cold Redundancy

To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.

User Friendly

Tool-less Drive Bays Design

Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds.

Certified Ready with Software Partners

Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization.

High Availability

Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)

To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.

Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP)

SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss.

Value-added Management

GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge management applications via a specialized small processor built on the server.

GIGABYTE Management Console

For management and maintenance of a server or a small cluster, users can use the GIGABYTE Management Console, which is pre-installed on each server. Once the servers are running, IT staff can perform real-time health monitoring and management on each server through the browser-based graphical user interface. In addition, the GIGABYTE Management Console also provides:

• Support for standard IPMI specifications that allows users to integrate services into a single platform through an open interface

• Automatic event recording, which can record system behavior 30 seconds before an event occurs, making it easier to determine subsequent actions

• Integrate SAS/SATA/NVMe devices and RAID controller firmware into GIGABYTE Management Console to monitor and control Broadcom^® MegaRAID adapters.

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. GSM can be run on all GIGABYTE servers and has support for Windows and Linux. GSM can be downloaded from GIGABYTE website and complies with IPMI and Redfish standards. GSM includes a complete range of system management functions that includes the following utilities:

• GSM Server: A software program that provides real-time, remote control using a graphical user interface through an administrator’s computer or through a server in the cluster. The software allows ease of maintenance for large clusters of servers.

• GSM CLI: A command-line interface for monitoring and managing remotely.

• GSM Agent: A software program installed on each GIGABYTE server node that retrieves information from each system and devices through the OS, and this software integrates with GSM Server or GSM CLI.

• GSM Mobile: A mobile app for both Android and iOS that provides admins with real-time system information.

• GSM Plugin: An application program interface that allows users to use VMware vCenter for real-time monitoring and management of server clusters.
