1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the 6015X-3/6015X-T/6015X-8 lies the X7DBX-i/X7DBX-8, a dual pro-
cessor serverboard based on the Intel 5000P chipset. Below are the main features
of the X7DBX-i/X7DBX-8 (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X7DBX-i/X7DBX-8 supports dual Intel Xeon 5300/5100/5000 series processors
in 771-pin LGA sockets. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our
web site for a complete listing of supported processors.
Memory
The X7DBX-i/X7DBX-8 has eight 240-pin DIMM slots supporting up to 32 GB of
FBD (Fully Buffered Data) ECC DDR2-667/533 SDRAM. DIMMs must be installed
in pairs (interleaved memory confi gurations only supported). Please refer to Sec-
tion 5-5 for details.
SAS Subsystem (6015X-3)
The 6015X-3 includes a SAS add-on card with an LSI 1068E controller chip to
support up to three SAS drives in the system, which are RAID 0, 1 and 10 sup-
ported. The SAS 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 drives.
Serial ATA Subsystem
An on-chip (ESB2) SATA controller is integrated into the X7DBX-i/X7DBX-8 to
provide a six-port, 3 Gb/sec Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10
supported. The SATA drives are hot-swappable units. Note: The operating sys-
tem you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability and RAID
function of the Serial ATA drives.
SCSI Subsystem (6015X-8)
The X7DBX-8 includes an onboard Adaptec AIC-7902 dual-channel SCSI control-
ler, which supports four 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives (RAID 0, 1 and 10
supported.). (Standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attach-
ment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane that provides power,
bus termination and confi guration settings. The SCSI drives are hot-swappable
