MSI MS-95M5 Rev 0A 10 Schematic
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The MICRO-STAR MS-95M5 Rev 0A is a server motherboard based on the Intel I39 platform with an SB6 southbridge. It utilizes an SST 49LF004B PLCC-32 BIOS flash for system firmware. The embedded controller is an Altera EPM570T100C5N CPLD in a TQFP100 package, which is programmable via JTAG. The board supports DDR2 memory in a dual-channel configuration across four slots. Integrated graphics is provided by the Intel GMA 950 architecture. The system includes a JMB1 controller for LAN, WiFi, card reader, and USB hub functions. Audio is handled by the ALC888 codec. Power management is managed by the U3000 charging IC, and thermal monitoring is provided by the ADM1032 sensor. The board is documented under document number AMS-95M5 with a date of 2007/03/02.

Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This MSI MS-95M5 server motherboard, documented on August 7, 2007, is built around a CPLD-based management architecture. The primary programmable device is an Altera EPM570T100C5N CPLD in a TQFP100 package, which handles system management, LED control, and SAS/SATA backplane signaling. The board includes a 32.768 kHz oscillator for real-time clock functions and features multiple SAS and SATA connectors, fan headers, and a dedicated DSD (Drive Status Display) interface. The schematic indicates a 2U form factor with extensive backplane connectivity, including SGPIO and I2C-like management buses for drive enclosure monitoring. The board supports RAID configuration via a RAID_SEL jumper and includes JTAG programming access for the CPLD.
