Chapter 1: Introduction
MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots. (The
X5DP8-G2 was designed to support 2 GB DIMM modules for each memory
slot, but it has only been validated with 1GB memory modules.)
Onboard SCSI
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI controller chip,
which supports dual channel, Ultra320 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
320 MB/sec. The P4DP8-G2 provides two SCSI ports. A QLogic GEM318
controller is used for the SAF-TE compliant SCSI backpanel.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X5DP8-G2 has two 64-bit, 100 MHz PCI-X, four 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI and
one SXB (Super Extended Bus) slots. The SC822S chassis accommodates
up to six low profile add-on cards. Several jumpers on the motherboard are
used to change the speeds of these slots if needed (see Chapter 5).
ATI Graphics Controller
The X5DP8-G2 features an integrated ATI video controller based on the
Rage XL graphics chip. Rage XL utilizes 8 MB of memory and fully supports
sideband addressing. This onboard graphics package can provide a band-
width of up to 512 MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
The X5DP8-G2 includes one floppy drive controller and two onboard IDE
controllers, which support up to four hard drives or ATAPI devices.
Backpanel I/O ports include one COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and
keyboard ports, a video (monitor) port, an external SCSI port and an Intel
ANVIK controller for dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports.
Other Features
Other onboard features are included to promote system health. These in-
clude various voltage monitors, two CPU temperature sensors, four fan
speed sensors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regula-
tors, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.
