With enterprise-rich features, GIGABYTE has created a high-performance workstation and offers choices of motherboards that target diverse applications, from media & entertainment to architecture and design. These products are tailored for the Threadripper PRO 5000WX and 3000WX series of processors on the sWRX8 chipset. The motherboards, MC62-G40 and MC62-G41, differ in only the LAN ports. The -G41 has a single 1 GbE LAN port, whereas the -G40 has an additional dual 10GbE LAN ports. The product differentiation came as a result of there being two market segments with one that prefers fast onboard Ethernet and the other that prefers less thrills at a lower price. Also, the -G40 is the same motherboard in the W771-Z00.
BIOS Update
Current owners of these GIGABYTE enterprise-grade products are able to apply a simple update of the BIOS to support the 5000WX series. On the respective GIGABYTE product pages, if you select the Support tab and go into the BIOS section, you'll see the BIOS update is available to be downloaded.
Remote and Multiple Server Management:
As part of GIGABYTE's value proposition, GIGABYTE provides GIGABYTE Management Console (GMC) for system management via a web browser-based platform. Additionally, GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM) software is available for download on product pages. This software can monitor and manage multiple servers without requiring an additional license fee. GMC and GSM offer great value while reducing TCO and customer maintenance costs.
All that is needed is a BIOs update and then install the new CPU.
