IEI presents an AMD EPYC based ATX board IMBAX-SP6 for server and AI solutions

17 January 2025 Product News

IEI has introduced a new ATX format motherboard, named IMBAX-SP6.
IMBAX-SP6 is mainly designed for creating server solutions, workstations and working with Edge AIO.

IMBAX-SP6 is based on AMD EPIC SP6 8004 series processors with Zen 4 or Zen4k architecture, which can have up to 64 cores and 128 threads at a power consumption level (TDP) from 70 to 225 watts.

The new mainboard has six slots for GDDR5 RDIMM RAM with a maximum supported capacity of 576 GB, a transfer rate of 4800 Mt/s and error correction (ECC).

For storage, there are eight 6 GB/s SATA connectors for 2.5 SSD SATADO and four M.2 M-key 2242/2280 slots for NVMe solid-state drives.

To achieve high data transfer speeds, the platform comes with with four 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5 Gbit/s) network ports using Intel I225-LM/I226-LM controllers.

IMBAX-SP6 also has a large number of expansion slots, providing flexibility when installing additional devices such as graphics cards, RAID controllers or other peripheral devices, such as:

  • one PCIe Gen5 x16 slots
  • two PCIe Gen4 x16 slots
  • three PCIe Gen4 x8 slots

One of key features of the new IMBAX-SP6 is a built-in IPMIAST-2600 controller, which provides the ability to remotely control the system via the DisplayPort 1.1a interface and an RJ45 network port.

I/O interfaces:

On the back panel of the CPU board there are four USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports with data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, as well as an RJ45 connector for connecting an RS-232 console.

Applications of IMBAX-SP6:

  1. Servers and data centers: large number of cores and support for up to 576 GB of RAM make this mainboard a good solution for building servers and storing data in large corporate systems and cloud storage.
  2. Video and graphics: connecting multiple graphics cards via the PCIe Gen 5 and Gen4 slot allows you to use this card for video rendering, image processing, and multimedia content creation.
  3. Financial services and trading: the high-speed network and huge memory capacity allow to process large amounts of financial data in real time, which is critical for exchange operations and market trend analysis.
  4. Artificial intelligence and machine learning: the platform is great for training neural networks and executing machine learning algorithms due to its large number of cores and ultra-fast I/O interfaces.
  5. Telecommunication systems: because of the high-speed network interface, the platform can be used in telecommunication networks to route traffic and provide communication between different nodes.
