1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the 7045A-3 lies the X7DA3, a dual processor serverboard based
on Intel's 5000X chipset and designed to provide maximum performance. Below
are the main features of the X7DA3. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the
5000X chipset).
Processors
The X7DA3 supports single or dual LGA771 Intel Xeon 5100/5000 series proces-
sors. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X7DA3 has eight 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 32 GB of FBD
(Fully Buffered DIMM) ECC DDR2-667/533 SDRAM. The memory is an interleaved
confi guration, which requires modules of the same size and speed to be installed
in pairs.
Serial ATA
An on-chip (ESB2) SATA controller is integrated into the X7DA3 to provide a six-
port, 3 Gb/sec Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 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 Serial ATA drives.
Onboard SAS
An onboard Adaptec AIC-9410 SAS controller in integrated into the X7DA3, which
supports eight SAS hard drives. The SAS drives are connected to a backplane
that provides power, bus termination and confi guration settings. The SAS 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 SAS drives. RAID 0, 1 and 10 are
supported.
