Supermicro Launches 4U Embedded/IPC Server

By DE Editors

Super Micro Computer, Inc. has announced the latest addition to its embedded/industrial PC (IPC) product portfolio, the SuperServer 6046T-TUF based on the new SC842 short-depth (20-in.) 4U chassis.

“The newest addition to Supermicro’s Embedded and Industrial PC product portfolio—an optimized and compact 4U platform with a variety of motherboard, add-on card, redundant power, secure front bezel and other options—addresses the unique needs of this market by offering up to seven years product lifecycle support,” says Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. 

The server offers six PCI-E expansion slots (11-slot model coming soon), five hot-swap SATA drive trays for RAID storage, three 5.25-in. expansion bays for additional hard drives, onboard smart server management tools, and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS support. The 8MB UEFI BIOS offers no shadow ROM size limitation, eliminates hard drive size limits for the OS and provides further UEFI BIOS shell benefits.

The SuperServer 6046T-TUF incorporates front-side serial and USB ports and two onboard Type-A USB connectors for loading the embedded OS and for diskless system boots. The 6046T-TUF also offers an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) with IPMI 2.0 to enable both media-over-LAN and KVM-over-LAN access via a dedicated LAN port for convenient remote system management anytime from anywhere.  Powered by Supermicro’sX8DTE-UF serverboard, the product supports up to two Intel Xeon 5600 processors, 192GB of DDR3 1333MHz memory.
