E7520 MCH
The architecture of the MCH provides the performance and feature set required for
Intel
®
Core™ Duo Processor and Intel
®
Core™ 2 Duo Processor-based volume to
performance servers. Configuration options facilitate optimization of the platform for
workloads characteristic of communication, presentation, storage, performance
computation, or database applications. Coverage includes the MCH interface units
(system bus, system memory, PCI Express, Hub Interface (HI), SMBus, power
management, MCH clocking, MCH system reset and power sequencing) as well as
RASUM (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Usability, and Manageability) features.
Features:
• Registered ECC DDR2-400 DIMM support
• Integrated four-channel DMA engine with IOxAPIC functionality
• High speed serial PCI Express interface
• Hub interface to Intel

6300ESB ICH
The Intel
®
6300ESB ICH is designed for a variety of processors/memory controller
hubs. The Intel
®
6300ESB ICH provides the data buffering and interface arbitration
required to ensure that system interfaces operate efficiently and provide the bandwidth
necessary to enable the system to obtain peak performance.
Features:
• Upstream HI for access to the MCH
• Two port Serial ATA controllers
• Two IDE connectors
• PCI-X 1.0 Interface
