Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor
series (Socket P+ (LGA4189)) and the Intel PCH C621A chipset, the X12SPW-TF/F
motherboard provides system performance, power e󰀩ciency, and feature sets to address the
needs of next-generation computer users.
With the support of the new Intel Microarchitecture 10nm Process Technology, the
X12SPW-TF/F dramatically increases system performance for a multitude of server
applications.
The Intel PCH C621A chipset provides Enterprise SMbus support, including the following
features:
• DDR4 288-pin memory support
• Support for Management Engine (ME)
• Support of SMBus speeds of up to 400KHz for BMC connectivity
• Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity congurations
• SPI Enhancements
• Intel Node Manager 4.0 for advanced power monitoring, capping and management for BMC
enhancement (see note below).
• BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package for enterprise
platforms
Note: Node Manager support depends on the power supply used in your system.
1.3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered o󰀨 (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
