MANAGEMENT

BMC remote management

An integrated BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a key feature for workstations. It uses a 1G Realtek controller, with one 1G port dedicated to the BMC to provide the intelligence for its IPMI architecture. The BMC manages the interface between system-management software and platform hardware. Administrators can remotely communicate with the BMC to take some corrective actions — such as resetting or power cycling a system.

Massive VRM Heatsinks

Since mass and airflow are critically important, our VRM heatsinks are manufactured with tall and densely packed fins, and are placed on the MOSFETs and chokes to enhance thermal efficiency. Additional fan bracket allows users to install up to three high-speed fans*, drawing heat away from VRM areas to fully unleash the performance of the latest Intel processors.

* Fan size: 40mm x 40mm x 28mm. Fans are purchased separately.
