1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the NovaScale R423 lies the NovaScale R423 serverboard, a dual
processor serverboard based on the Intel 5400 chipset and designed to provide
maximum performance. Below are the main features of the NovaScale R423
serverboard. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the 5400 chipset).
Processors
The NovaScale R423 serverboard supports single or dual LGA771 type Intel Xeon
processors at a FSB speed of 1600/1333/1066 MHz. (Quad-Core Intel Xeon Proces-
sor 5400/5300LV or Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5200/5100LV sequence, both
CPUs must be of the same type.) Please refer to the serverboard description pages
on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.bull.com).
Memory
The NovaScale R423 serverboard has sixteen 240-pin DIMM slots that can support
up to 128 GB of FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) ECC DDR2-800/667/533 SDRAM. Both
1.5V and 1.8V memory are supported. The memory operates in a 4-way interleaved
confi gurations and requires modules of the same size and speed to be installed two
at a time. See Chapter 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the ESB2 (South Bridge) portion of the 5400
chipset to provide a six-port 3 Gb/s Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10
and 5 supported. The Serial ATA 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.
PCI Expansion Slots
The NovaScale R423 serverboard has three PCI-Express x8 slots (two are Gen
2), one PCI-Express x4 slot (in a x8 slot), two 64-bit 133/100 MHz PCI-X slots and
one UIO slot (see below).
