About This Manual
This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of the
X7DVL-E motherboard. The X7DVL-E supports dual Intel Xeon
quad core/dual core processors (w/771 LGA) with a front side bus speed of of 667
MHz/1.066 GHz/1.333 GHz. With dual 64-bit Xeon dual core processors built-in,
the X7DVL-E offers substantial functionality enhancements to the motherboards
based on the Intel dual core NetBurst microarchitecture while remaining compatible
with the IA-32 software. The features include Intel Hyper-Threading Technology,
Virtualization Technology, Hyper Pipelined Technology, Execution Trace Cache,
Thermal Monitor 1/2 (TM1/TM2), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology, Advanced
Dynamic Execution, Advanced Transfer Cache, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3
(SSE3) and Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). These features allow the
motherboard to operate at much higher speeds with better power management in
much safer thermal environments than the traditional motherboards. The X7DVL-E
is ideal for high performance dual processor (DP) and enterprise server environ-
ments. Please refer to the motherboard specifi cations pages on our web site (http://
