Performance for AI and professional applications
The board has an LGA4710-2 socket for Intel Xeon 600 series processors with up to 86 cores. For connecting multiple graphics cards or accelerators, it offers four PCIe 5.0 slots at full ×16 speed, providing the necessary data throughput for training AI models and demanding visualisations. This is complemented by one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot in x4 mode for additional cards.
Massive memory capacity and storage on the Pro WS W890-SAGE board
Eight memory slots support up to 4TB of DDR5 ECC RDIMM RAM. This capacity is crucial for working with large datasets. For ultra-fast storage, it offers four M.2 slots with a PCIe 5.0 x4 connection, complemented by four SATA III ports and two SlimSAS connectors for attaching professional SSDs or network devices.
Advanced networking and data connectivity
For rapid data transfer, the board integrates a 10GB LAN port from Realtek and a 2.5GB LAN from Intel. The rear panel includes two 40Gb/s USB4 ports, which also transmit video signals via the DisplayPort IN input, and six USB 10Gb/s Type-A ports. For the front panel of the case, there is a header for a USB 20Gb/s Type-C port and other internal connectors for USB 5Gb/s and USB 2.0.
Power and management for the motherboard
A stable power supply for multi-core processors is handled by a power delivery system with 12+2+2+1+2 phases and ProCool II connectors. The cooling system includes large passive heatsinks for the VRM, chipset, and M.2 drives, supplemented by an active fan. The board also supports server-grade remote management via an optional IPMI card.
