1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The PR-DLS533 motherboard supports the Intel
®
Xeon processor via dual
603/604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel
®
NetBurst™ micro-architecture that includes hyper-pipelined technology, a
rapid execution engine, a 533/400MHz system bus, and an execution trace
cache to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more
information.
DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the
PR-DLS533 motherboard supports up to 12GB of system memory using
PC2100/1600 registered ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 266MHz
memory bus doubles the speed of the PC133 SDRAM to deliver the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 2-10.
Dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI
The LSI
®
53C1030 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X SCSI controller is onboard to
support dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI connectors that provide high-speed
data transfer interfaces.
Advanced 64-bit PCI-X slots
The 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slots onboard maximizes I/O bandwidth for the
next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support 133MHz bus. The PCI-X
specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI buses
and provides options for intelligent I/O and server management cards.
ATA/100 IDE support
The dual-channel bus master IDE connectors comply with the ATA/100
protocol and supports ATA/100, Multi-Word DMA Mode2, PIO modes 3 & 4
IDE devices such as ATAPI IDE CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, ZIP, and LS-120
drives.
