1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6015B-8 lies the X7DBR-8, a dual processor
serverboard based on Intel's 5000P chipset. Below are the main features of the
X7DBR-8 (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X7DBR-8 supports single or dual 771-pin Intel Xeon 5100/5000 series pro-
cessors at a FSB speed of 1333/1066/667 MHz. Please refer to the serverboard
description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors.
Memory
The X7DBR-8 has eight 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 32 GB of ECC
FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) DDR2-667 or DDR2-533 SDRAM. The memory is an
interleaved confi guration, which requires modules of the same size and speed to be
installed in pairs. Please refer to Chapter 5 for memory speed jumper settings.
Onboard SCSI
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI chip, which supports
Ultra320 SCSI at a throughput of 320 MB/sec for each channel. The X7DBR-8 pro-
vides two LVD Ultra320 SCSI ports. The SCSI 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 SCSI drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X7DBR-8 has two Universal PCI slots (each consisting of a x8 PCI-Express
slot and a 100 MHz PCI-X slot). Two preinstalled riser cards support the use of
one standard size 100 MHz PCI-X and one low profi le PCI-X 100 MHz add-on card.
(Two riser cards to support one standard size and one low-profi le x8 PCI-Express
add-on cards are included in the accessory box.) See Section 5-6 for details.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard ATA/100 controller is provided to support up to two IDE hard drives or
ATAPI devices. The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor)
port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two gigabit Ethernet
ports.
