1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 7045B-T lies the X7DBE, a dual processor
serverboard based on the Intel 5000P chipset and designed to provide maximum
performance. Below are the main features of the X7DBE. (See Figure 1-1 for a
block diagram of the Intel 5000P chipset).
Processors
The X7DBE supports single or dual Intel dual-core Xeon processors 5300/5100/5000
series. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com) and for details on
board revisions needed to support 5300/5100 series CPUs.
Memory
The X7DBE has eight 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 32 GB of ECC
FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) DDR2-666 or 533 SDRAM. The memory is an inter-
leaved confi guration, which requires modules of the same size and speed to be
installed in pairs.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge of the 5000P chipset to pro-
vide a six-port Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 supported. The
Serial ATA 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 Serial ATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X7DBE has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two x8 PCI-Express slots,
one x4 PCI-Express slot, two PCI-X 133 MHz slots and one PCI-X 100 MHz slot.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and one onboard ATA/100 controller are provided to
support up to two 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
ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports. Two front side USB ports are also included
on the front of the chassis.
