1-2 Chipset Overview
The X9SCFF-F supports a single Intel® Xeon E3-1200 V2 series processor in
an H2 Socket (LGA 1155). Built around the Intel C204 chipset, the X9SCFF-F
motherboard provides substantial system performance and storage capability for
the Supermicro Fat Twin server platform.
The high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) featured in the Intel® C204 chipset
supports high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) for chip-to-chip true isochronous
communication, providing up to 2 GB/s of software-transparent data transfer rate
on each read/write direction. In addition, the X9SCFF-F also features a TCO (Time
Controlled Operations) timer which allows the system to recover from a software/
hardware lock and perform tasks, including ECC Error Reporting, Function Dis-
able and Intruder Detect.
