X8SIU-F User’s Manual
1-2 Chipset Overview
The X8SIU-F supports the Intel ® Xeon ® 3400 and L3400 Series, Core TM i5 Dual
Core, Core TM i3, Pentium ® and Celeron ® processors (LGA1156 socket). Built
upon the functionality and the capability of the single-chip Intel 3420 chipset,
the X8SIU-F motherboard provides the performance and feature set required for
single-processor-based systems with configuration options optimized for cost-
effective server platforms.
The Intel 3420 chipset features a high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) for
chip-to-chip true isochronous communication with the processor. This feature al-
lows the X8SIU-F to achieve up to 10 Gb/s of software-transparent data transfer
in each direction, achieving better performance than comparable systems. The
X8SIU-F also features a high-efficient VRM design, ECC Error Reporting, Intruder
Detect and TCO timer which will enable the system to recover from a software/
hardware lock.
