1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6026T-NTR+ lies the X8DTN+, a dual processor
serverboard based on the Intel 5520 + ICH10R chipset and designed to provide
maximum performance. Below are the main features of the X8DTN+. (See Figure
1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X8DTN+ supports single or dual Intel® Xeon® 5500 processors and future
Intel Nehalem processor families (next generation Intel Xeon processor). Please
refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of
supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X8DTN+ has eighteen DIMM slots that can support up to 144 GB of DDR3-
1333/1066/800 registered ECC SDRAM. The memory operates in an interleaved
confi guration and requires requires modules of the same size and speed to be
installed two at a time. See Chapter 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is integrated into the ICH10R (South Bridge) portion of the
IOH-36D chipset to provide a six-port 3 Gb/s SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1,
10 and 5 supported. The SATA 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 SATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X8DTN+ has two PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots, one PCI Express x4 slot (in a x8
slot), three 64-bit 133/100 MHz PCI-X slots and one UIO slot (see below).
UIO
The X8DTN+ is a specially-designed serverboard that features Supermicro's UIO
(Universal I/O) technology. UIO serverboards have a PCI-Express x8 connector
that can support any one of several types of UIO card types (low-profi le only) to
add SAS ports, additional LAN ports, etc. to the serverboard. This allows the user
to tailor the serverboard to their own needs. Note: the 6026T-NTR+ does not come
with a UIO card pre-installed.
