Supermicro SIOM – Most Flexible, Cost-Optimized Server I/O®

The Supermicro Super I/O Module (SIOM) delivers up to 50% of I/O cost savings and freedom to select networking
options from 1Gb/s to100Gb/s through a Supermicro optimized form factor that is easy to scale, service and manage
across a broad range of Supermicro server and storage systems. The SIOM also enables a higher degree of system
integration and increased capacity by saving PCI-E slots that are traditionally reserved for add on cards.

Key Features§Mezzanine card design: frees a regular PCI-E slot on the motherboard for additional Add-on Cards (AOCs).

§GbE, 10GbE (SFP+ or RJ45), 25GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE, InfiniBand, Omni-Path and more.

§Better flexibility and cost effectiveness for upgrading networking capabilities without
replacing the entire system or motherboard.

§

Optimized mechanical and thermal design.

§

Better cost compared to standard PCI-E networking adapters.

§NC-SI for IPMI support§

SIOM Benefits

Future Proof I/O

Asset ManagementFlexible on-motherboard I/O controllers
significantly reduces I/O CapEx andincreases the flexibility of I/O
configuration.

Until now, customers have had totradeoff I/O cost savings versus I/O
flexibility (SIOM cards are up to 50%
lower cost than traditional AOCs).

For applications that require maximum
I/O capacity or for I/O intensive
applications, SIOM frees up PCI-E slots
for additional I/O expansions.

The flexibility challenge of making
purchase decisions on systems shippingwith embedded on-board networking I/O
has been the lack of future proofing
versus AOCs, which can be uniquely
customized and potentially upgraded forspecific applications in a constantly
evolving data center.

Asset Management allows users tomonitor SIOM cards in selected
Supermicro server and storage systems.
With Supermicro Server Management
Utilities, users will be able to monitor thefollowing:

Furthermore, since systems andmotherboards are not tied to a fixed onboard I/O controller at the time ofpurchase, users are open to a broadarray of upgrade options even after thedeployment.
With SIOM, data centers may enjoy
longer refresh cycles and receive better
ROI. As newer I/O technologies become
available, it is easier and more costeffective to upgrade the I/O controller
independently without triggering an entire
data center refresh.
Only Supermicro offers a consistent
SIOM design across a broad spectrum of
the product lines, versus limiting thisfeature to only the most premium andproprietary models.

With SIOM, customers can achieve
optimal cost with future proof flexibility.

Large Scale Deployment
and Serviceability
For large scale cloud data centers, SIOM
provides improved mechanical andthermal designs (improved airflow) andincreased serviceability allowing theSIOM modules to be serviced and/orreplaced without opening the chassis (onselected systems only).

Built-in Management
Interface
The Network Controller Sideband
Interface (NC-SI) enables theconnectivity of a baseboard Management
controller (BMC) to one or multiple
Network Interface Controllers (NIC) inserver systems for the purpose of
enabling out-of-band remotemanageability. This feature simplifies
data center wiring or can provide
additional redundancy of IPMI/BMC
connectivity.
