Introduction
1-2A Chipset Overview
The Intel E7501 (Plumas) chipset is a high-performance chipset with a per-
formance and feature-set designed for mid-range, dual processor servers.
The E7501 chipset consists of four major components: the Memory Control-
ler Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3), the PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2.0
(P64H2) and the 82808AA Host Channel Adapter (VxB).
The MCH has four hub interfaces, one to communicate with the ICH3 and
three for high-speed I/O communications. The MCH employs a 144-bit wide
memory bus for a DDR-200 memory interface, which provides a total band-
width of 3.2 GB/s. The ICH3 interface is a 266 MB/sec point-to-point con-
nection using an 8-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 4x data transfer rate.
The P64H2 interface is a 1 GB/s point-to-point connection using a 16-bit
wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 8x data transfer rate.
The ICH3 I/O Controller Hub provides various integrated functions, including
a two-channel UDMA100 bus master IDE controller, USB host controllers, an
integrated LAN controller, a System Management Bus controller and an
AC'97 compliant interface.
The P64H2 PCI-X Hub provides a 16-bit connection to the MCH for high-
performance I/O capability and two 64-bit PCI-X interfaces.
1-2B Marvell 88SX5081 Host Controller Overview
The Marvell 88SX5081 device is a PCI/PCI-X to Serial ATA (SATA) host
controller with expansion ROM interface. Based upon the SATA interface
specification, the 88SX5081 device provides solutions for designs based
on chipsets that do not integrate a SATA host controller.
