SAN JOSE, California, November 3, 2010 - Super Micro Computer, Inc. (www.supermicro.com/index.cfm) (Nasdaq:
SMCI), the global leader in server technology innovation and green computing,
today announced the latest addition to its embedded/industrial PC (IPC)
product portfolio, the SuperServer 6046T-TUF (
www.supermicro.com/products/system/4U/6046/SYS-6046T-TUF.cfm ) based

"The newest addition to Supermicro's Embedded and Industrial PC product
portfolio - a highly optimized and compact 4U platform with a variety of
motherboard, add-on card, redundant power, secure front bezel and other
options - addresses the unique needs of this market by offering up to seven
years product lifecycle support," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of
Supermicro. "The innovative and robust short-depth architecture makes this
platform ideal for embedded and IPC market segments, such as medical imaging,
industrial automation, transportation, simulation, and telecommunication
applications."

This optimized server offers high I/O bandwidth and exceptional
reliability with six PCI-E expansion slots (11-slot model coming soon), five
hot-swap SATA drive trays for RAID storage, three 5.25" expansion bays for
additional hard drives, onboard smart server management tools, and UEFI
(Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS support. The 8MB UEFI BIOS
offers several advantages including no shadow ROM size limitation which
delivers more robust add-on card features plus faster operating system (OS)
boot times. It also eliminates hard drive size limits for the OS and provides
further UEFI BIOS shell benefits.

The SuperServer 6046T-TUF ranks among the most optimized platforms
supporting the Embedded / IPC user base available today. The solution
incorporates convenient front-side serial and USB ports and two onboard
Type-A USB connectors for simple and secure loading the embedded OS and for
diskless system boots. The 6046T-TUF also offers an onboard Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) with advanced IPMI 2.0 to enable both
media-over-LAN and KVM-over-LAN access via a dedicated LAN port for
convenient remote system management anytime from anywhere. Powered by
Supermicro's X8DTE-UF serverboard (
www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTE-UF.cfm), the
product supports up to two Intel Xeon 5600 processors, 192GB of DDR3 1333MHz
memory.

The solution's CSE-842TQ-865B chassis (
www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/842/SC842TQ-865.cfm) is a newly
designed 20"-depth product specifically engineered to meet the usage needs of
embedded and IPC customers. It is highly versatile and supports a wide range
of UP and DP serverboards up to 12" x 13" including those optimized for Intel
Xeon 5600 or the latest twelve-core AMD Opteron processors. An 865-watt
high-efficiency power supply with PMbus provides critical node management
support for embedded monitoring. The chassis features seven full-height,
full-length tool-less expansion slots, providing numerous options for
enhanced I/O scalability. In addition to five hot-swap 3.5" hard drives or
eight 2.5" HDDs, the SC842 also offers three 5.25" drive bays and one slim
5.25" drive bay. Optional components include a quick release rail set, fan
upgrade kits, and an add-on card bracket holder to stabilize large add-on
cards.

In addition to the SC842 series, Supermicro offers an impressive
selection of other short-depth chassis product lines optimized for
embedded/IPC applications including:

    -- SC825M series - 17.7" 2U supports 3 SAS/SATA, 7 add-on cards, and
       redundant power
