1-2 Serverboard 

Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF lies two 

X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF dual processor serverboards, which are based 

on Intel's 5520 (North Bridge) + ICH10R (South Bridge) chipset. (For OEM only, the 

Intel 5500 is also available for the North Bridge portion of the chipset.) Below are 

the main features of the serverboards. Note that the features on each board are 

doubled for the server, which includes two nodes.

Processors

Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF supports two Intel® 5500 Series proces-

sors in LGA1366 sockets. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of 

supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF has six 240-pin DIMM sockets that can 

support up to 48 GB of registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM (96 GB for 

the system). See Chapter 5 Section 6 for more details on installing memory into 

the system.

Serial ATA

The South Bridge (ICH10R) of the chipset includes a Serial ATA controller for six 

Gb/s SATA drives. The hot-swappable SATA drives are connected to a backplane 

that provides power, bus termination and confi guration settings. RAID 0, 1, 10 and 

5 are supported. Refer to the support area of our web site for procedures on set-

ting up RAID on your system.

PCI Expansion Slots

Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF board has one PCI Express 2.0 x16 

slot, so two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots are provided in the server. In the 6016TT-

TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF server confi guration, riser cards have been pre-

installed to support two low-profi le add-on cards.

Ethernet Ports

An Intel® network controller is integrated into each of the serverboards to support 

two Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000Base-T/1000BaseTX, RJ45 output).
