Chapter 2: Choose Proper Parts For Y our System
Before you installing a system with this motherboard, make sure your major system parts meet
the following basic guidelines and requirements:
2.1 – Central Processor Unit (CPU) Considerations
§
Process Type and Package
Thunder i7522 S5362 board supports Intel Xeon
800 MHz front side bus (FSB)
processors in 604- pin Pin Grid Array package. Low - voltage Xeon and 2MB L2
cache 800MHz FSB Xeon processors are also supported.
§
Front Side Bus (FSB)
The processor host bus, Front Side Bus (FSB), always operates at 800 MHz.
Choose Intel Xeon
800 MHz FSB processors for Thunder i7522 S5362 board. The
system will not be operational, if you install Intel Xeon
533 or 400 MHz FSB
processors.
§
Single/Dual Processor System
The Thunder i7522 S5362 board supports singl e or dual Intel Xeon
800 MHz FSB
processors.
Single Processor System :
The processor must be installed on the CPU1 ZIF (Zero -Insertion-Force) socket, if
only one processor is present.
Dual Processor System :
For dual processor configurations, both process ors must operate with the same core
frequency, and have the same internal cache sizes. Mixing processors operating at
different FSB frequency, core frequency, core voltage, or cache sizes may cause
system non- operation or damages on processors and/or the m otherboard.
2.2 – Memory Considerations
§
Memory Type
Thunder i7522 S5362 board supports up to eight 184-pin
DDR-II 400 Registered
ECC
DIMM modules. The DDR-II memory modules can be 256Mb, 512Mb and 1Gb
memory chips. Unbuffered or DDR-I memory modules are not supported.

§
Memory Installation
Thunder i7522 S5362 is based on Intel’s E7520 Lindenhurst chipset. The Intel
E7520 Memory Control Hub (MCH) s upports 144 -bit wide dual memory channels in
interleaved memory scheme, with installing paired memory. With the exception of
Configuration 1 in the memory configuration table below
,
memory modules are
installed in pairs, starting from DIMM8 towards DIMM1.
Each pair of memory modules must be in the same capacity, density, speed, and
configuration.
