1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel® E5-2600(V3) Series proces-
sors (Socket R3) and the Intel® C612 PCH, the X10DRU-X(-XLL) Series mother-
board provides the best balanced solution of performance, power efficiency, and
features to address the diverse needs of next-generation data centers.
With support of new Intel® Microarchitecture 22nm Process Technology and Intel®
Silicon View Technology, the X10DRU-X(-XLL) Series motherboard dramatically
reduces overhead associated with encryption, accelerates system boot security,
and enhances virtual media integration as well as remote system management
and monitoring.
The PCH C612 chip in conjunction with the E5-2600 v3 processors support the
following features:
•
DDR4 288-pin memory support on Socket R3
•
Integrated Clocking capable of extending to most 2S platforms
•
Support for MCTP Protocol and ME
•
Support of SMBus speeds of up to 1 MHz for BMC connectivity
•
GSX capable of GPIO expansion
•
Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity configurations
•
Intel® SVT support capability
•
Flexible Management Infrastructure focused on Run Time with support for
MCTP Protocol/End Points and Management traffic over DMI
•
Embedded Platform SW Services capability
•
SPI Enhancements with address space large enough for 2x BIOS
•
Intel® Node Manager 3.0 (with BE, EE options) for advanced power monitoring,
capping and management for BMC enhancement
•
BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package
for enterprise platforms
