1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E5-2600v3/v4 series proces-
sors (Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10DRFF(-C) motherboard provides
the best balanced solution of performance, power efficiency, and features to ad
-
dress the diverse needs of next-generation computer users.
With support of new Intel Microarchitecture 22nm (E5-2600v3)/14nm (E5-2600v4)
processing technology, the X10DRFF(-C) motherboard dramatically increases
system performance.
The PCH C612 chip provides Enterprise SMbus and MCTP support, including the
following features:
•
DDR4 288-pin memory support on Socket R3
•
Support for MCTP Protocol and ME
•
Support of SMBus speeds of up to 1 MHz for BMC connectivity
•
Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity configurations
•
SPI Enhancements
•
Intel® Node Manager 3.0
•
BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package
for enterprise platforms
Notes:
1. E5-2600v4 requires Revision 2.0 BIOS (or higher).
2. Intel® Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply
used in the system.
