1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E5-2600 v3 Series processors
(Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10DRH-C/CT/i/iT motherboard provides
system performance, power efficiency, and feature sets to address the needs of
next-generation computer users.
With support of the new Intel microarchitecture 22nm process technology, the
X10DRH-C/CT/i/iT drastically increases system performance for a multitude of
server applications.
The PCH C612 chip provides Enterprise SMbus support, including the following
features:
•
DDR4 288-pin memory support on Socket R3
•
Support for MCTP Protocol
•
Support for Management Engine (ME)
•
Support of SMBus speeds of up to 400KHz for BMC connectivity
•
Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity configurations
•
SPI enhancements
•
Intel® Node Manager 3.0 for advanced power monitoring, capping, and man-
agement for BMC enhancement
•
The BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security pack-
age for enterprise platforms
Note
: Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used
in the system.
