1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 7044H-32R lies the X6DH3-G2, a dual processor
serverboard based on the Intel E7520 chipset and designed to provide maximum
performance. Below are the main features of the X6DH3-G2. (See Figure 1-1 for
a block diagram of the E7520 chipset).
Processors
The X6DH3-G2 supports single or dual 604-pin Intel Xeon EM64T type processors at
a FSB speed of 800 MHz. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our
web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X6DH3-G2 has eight 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 16 GB of
registered ECC DDR2-400 SDRAM. The memory is an interleaved confi guration,
which requires modules of the same size and speed to be installed in pairs.
Serial ATA
An Adaptec 9410W controller is integrated into the X6DH3-G2 to provide an eight-
port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0 and 1
supported. The 6300ESB South Bridge of the chipset also includes a Serial ATA
controller that supports two SATA ports (RAID 0 and 1 supported). The SAS/SATA
drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the SAS/SATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X6DH3-G2 has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two x8 PCI-Express
slots, one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot, two 64-bit 100 MHz PCI-X slots and one 32-bit
33 MHz PCI slot. (One 100 MHz PCI slot supports Zero Channel RAID.)
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and two onboard ATA/100 controllers are provided to
support up to four IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices. The color-coded I/O ports
include one COM port (an additional COM header is located on the serverboard), a
VGA (monitor) port, a parallel port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard
