MAXDATA Workstation Fusion 7000

2  Features

The mainboard offers a “flat” design, with the processors and memory subsystems residing on the 
board. The Workstation board supports dual-processor operation with Intel

®

 Xeon™ processors and 

the Intel

®

 E7505 chipset. The board contains embedded devices for video, network, and Serial ATA 

(SATA) and provides basic monitoring hardware and interrupt control for dual processors and PC/AT-
compatible operation. Table 1 lists the features of the mainboard.
