transfer rates
3.2.2
Memory Controller Hub and DDR2 SDRAM
The Intel® 5100 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) provides dual memory controllers and 24 lanes of PCI Express
expansion (all of which are implemented on the CPU-111-10) for high-speed connectivity to dual XMC sites (8 lanes
each) and a PLX PEX8624PCIe Switch (8 lanes) for further PCI Express distribution. The MCH supports up to 4
GBytes of DDR2 SDRAM running at up to 1066 MHz double data rate speeds. MCH features include:
Intel 5100 MCH with 1066/1333 MHz Front Side Bus
4GB DDR2 ECC SDRAM at 533/667 MHz (1066 MHz DDR)
Two x8 PCI Express Ports to XMC Sites
One x8 PCI Express Port to PEX8624 Gen 2 PCIe Switch
ESI Bus to ICH9R I/O Controller Hub
3.2.3
I/O Controller Hub
The Intel® ICH9R I/O Controller Hub (ICH) chipset provides basic I/O, and standard PC system resources including
graphics, the real time clock, NV-RAM, timers, thermal management, and interrupt management. Features include:
Four Serial ATA Ports to VPX P4 Connector
Four USB Ports to VPX P4 Connector
LPC Bus to 16Mbit Firmware Hub
16Mbit SPI Flash
RS232/RS485 Serial Communications to VPX P4 Connector
x1 PCIe Interface supports SM750 VGA Controller
Real-time clock with 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM
