1.6 Processor and Chipset Overview
1.6.1 C602/C606 Chipset
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel
®
E5-2600 Series Processor
and the PCH C602/C606 Chipset (X9DRW), or the Intel
®
E5-2400 (X9DBU) and
the PCH C602/C606 Chipset, the RES-XR4-1U provides the performance required
for dual processor-based high-end systems, including optimal configuration options
for communications, high-end CAD systems, or database applications. RES-XR4-
1U supports up to two E5-2600-series or two E5-2400-series Intel
®
64-bit Xeon pro-
cessors. Both processor families are of the Sandy Bridge micro architecture and sup-
port up to 12 cores per CPU, HT (Hyper-Threading), up to 3.3 GHz (E5-2600) and
2.4 GHz (E5-2400), up to 20 MB L3 cache, Virtualization, Turbo Boost, 2-way pro-
cessing, and QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) of up to 8.0 GT/s.With the Intel
®
Quick-
Path Interconnect (QPI) controller built in the processor, the C602/C606 Series
Processor platform offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with CPU-to-
CPU transfer speeds of up to 8.0 GT/s, providing fast speeds, and excellent system
performance. The Intel
®
E5-2600 CPU has two QPI links, and the Intel
®
E5-2400
CPU has one QPI link.
The C602/C606 chipsets support up to 8x1 PCI Express ports, single 32-bit 33 MHz
PCI bus, and DMI for the processor(s). The PCH provides up to (total number repre-
sents chipset capability and does not necessarily represent actually motherboard
specs) 14 USB 2.0, 2 SATA/SAS 1.5/3/6 Gbits + 6 SATA/SAS 1.5/3 Gbit/s connec-
tions, Integrated LAN, Integrated Graphics (C606), and Active Management Tech-
nology 7.1 (C606). In addition, the Intel
®
C602/C606 platforms also offer a wide
range of RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) features. These features
include memory interface ECC with double-bit error detection, Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC), parity protection, out-of-band register access via SMBus, memory
mirroring, memory sparing, and Hot-plug support on the PCI-Express Interface.
