Right this moment we’ve got a Fujitsu D3598-B13 motherboard in for evaluate. The D3598-B motherboard is what Fujitsu calls its Prolonged Lifecycle Mainboards. These are designed for semi-industrial wants with 24/7 steady operation beneath heavy masses with a protracted lifecycle. The Fujitsu D3598-B13 we’ve got for evaluate makes use of Intel’s C422 Chipset and helps Intel Xeon processors based mostly on socket LGA2066 concentrating on industrial workstations and high-performance industrial computing functions.
Fujitsu D3598-B13 Motherboard Overview
After eradicating the Fujitsu D3598-B13 motherboard from the retail field, we get our first have a look at the PCB.
With a top-down view of the Fujitsu D3598-B13 Motherboard, we see the final structure. We see Mini-PCIe and M.2 slots positioned in the direction of the entrance of the motherboard; an M.2 riser might be put in that helps two further M.2 drives in RAID mode.
Normal SATA storage ports embody 8x SATA ports on the entrance of the motherboard. One can see that the block of six SATA ports makes use of an attention-grabbing port fixture that will increase rigidity and sturdiness of the ports.
Energy connectors positioned on the nook of the motherboard present a superb location to maintain energy cables centralized to 1 space.
The D3598-B13 Motherboard helps seven PCIe 3.0 slots:
- 2x PCI Categorical x16 Gen3
- 5x PCI Categorical x8 Gen3
PCIe help consists of SLI-Certification for Nvidia Quadro playing cards which might be put in within the two x16 slots.
We noticed the CPU 8-pin energy connector positioned in the back of the motherboard between reminiscence slots and again IO headers. With elements put in this location is a bit tight to plug within the energy connector. This isn’t a standard spot for the 8-pin energy connector within the trade as a result of it’s onerous to achieve right here.
Allow us to flip the motherboard round and check out the rear I/O.
Wanting on the rear I/O ports, we discover:
- PS/2 Kbd/Mouse
- 2x USB 3.1 ports (Kind A / Kind C)
- 6x USB 3.1 ports
- 2x RJ-45 ports
- Stereo Audio / 5.1 Multichannel Audio ports
Subsequent, we’re going to have a look at the software program and BIOS and specs for the Fujitsu D3598-B13 motherboard. Then will probably be adopted by our efficiency testing.
