Gigabyte matična plošča MP32-AR1 Retail

The MP32-AR1 stands apart from typical single-socket server boards by delivering dual AMD EPYC 7002/7003 processing power in an E-ATX footprint, enabling dense compute for virtualization, in-memory databases, and high-throughput workloads. With 32 DIMM slots and up to 8TB of DDR4 ECC memory, it scales far beyond conventional platforms while maintaining a standard form factor for rack integration.

Highlights

• Dual Socket SP3 for AMD EPYC 7002/7003 series processors
• 32 x DDR4 ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM slots, up to 8TB capacity
• 5 x PCIe 4.0 x16 and 1 x PCIe 4.0 x8 slots for accelerators and storage
• 16 x SATA III ports plus 2 x M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 for flexible storage
• Dual 10GbE Intel X710-AT2 LAN plus dedicated 1GbE management port
• ASPEED AST2500 BMC with IPMI 2.0 and KVM over IP

In daily use

This board is built for continuous operation in enterprise environments. The dual 10GbE ports provide high-speed networking for clustered applications, while the dedicated management LAN ensures remote administration even when the main OS is down. Software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support allows you to configure resilient storage without additional hardware. The E-ATX form factor fits standard server chassis, and dual 24-pin ATX plus dual 8-pin CPU power connectors deliver stable power to both sockets.
