1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5015M-T/5015M-T+ lies the PDSMi/PDSMi+, a
single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below
are the main features of the PDSMi/PDSMi+.
Chipset
The PDSMi is based on Intel’s E7230 chipset and the PDSMi+ is based on Intel's
E3000 chipset. See Figure 1-1 and 1-2 for chipset block diagrams.
Processors
The PDSMi/PDSMi+ has an LGA775 ZIF socket that supports a single Intel proces-
sor. Please refer to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of
supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/support).
Memory
The PDSMi/PDSMi+ has four (4) 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 8 GB
of unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR2-667/533/400 SDRAM modules. (Memory op-
erates in a dual-channel, or interleaved confi guration for increased performance.)
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is incorporated into the ICH7R portion of the chipset to pro-
vide a four-port Serial ATA subsystem. The Serial ATA drives are hot-swappable.
PCI Expansion Slots
The PDSMi/PDSMi+ has one universal PCI-X 133 MHz/PCI-Express x8 slot and
one 32-bit, 33 MHz (5V) PCI slot. When incorporated into the 5015M-T/5015M-T+
server system, a riser card is included for use with the PCI-X slot to support one
standard size PCI-X 133 MHz or x8 PCI Express expansion card.
Ethernet Ports
Two Intel 82573V PCI-Express gigabit Ethernet controllers are incorporated into the
PDSMi/PDSMi+ to support two Gigabit LAN ports.
