1-2 Mainboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 7043P-8R lies the X5DP8-G2, a dual pro-
cessor serverboard based on the Intel E7501 chipset and designed to pro-
vide maximum performance. Below are the main features of the X5DP8-G2.
(See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the E7501 chipset).
Processors
The X5DP8-G2 supports single or dual 604/603-pin Intel Xeon processors of
up to 3.06 GHz with a 533/400 MHz FSB. Please refer to the serverboard
description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported pro-
cessors (http://www.supermicro.com/Product_page/product-m.htm).
Memory
The X5DP8-G2 has eight 184-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 16 GB of
registered ECC DDR-266 (PC2100) SDRAM. Module sizes of 128MB, 256MB,
512MB 1GB and 2GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots. (The X5DP8-
G2 was designed to support 2GB DIMM modules in each slot, however 2GB
memory modules have not yet been validated.)
Onboard SCSI
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI chip, which sup-
ports dual channel, Ultra320 SCSI at a throughput of 320 MB/sec for each
channel. The X5DP8-G2 provides two LVD Ultra320 SCSI ports.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X5DP8-G2 has six PCI-X expansion slots, which includes one SXB
(Super Extended Bus) slot. The speed of the PCI-X slots may be changed
in BIOS. See Chapter 7 for details.
