The motherboard comes with dual 604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets
designed for the Intel
®
Xeon™ processor with 800 MHz Front Side Bus
(FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. The processor incorporates the Intel
®
Hyper-Threading Technology, the Intel
®
NetBurst™ micro-architecture that
features hyper-pipelined technology, and Extended Memory 64-bit
Technology (EM64T). The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit operation
system, such as 64-bit Windows
®
and Linux. See page 2-13 for details.

The Intel
®
E7210 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel
®
6300ESB I/O
controller hub (ICH) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR400 memory, and CSA
interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O controller hub that
provides the interface for PCI-X 1.0a and other interfaces.

Employing the dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the motherboard
provides a solution that doubles the system memory bandwidth to boost
system performance. The motherboard supports up to 4 GB of system
memory using PC3200/PC2700 ECC or non-ECC DDR DIMMs to deliver up to
6.4 GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and
Internet applications. See page 2-16 for details.

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces controlled by the Intel
®
6300ESB and the Adaptec AIC-
8130 PCI-X SATA-II controller (on SATA models only). The SATA
specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count,
reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate for
6300ESB and 300 MB/s for AIC-8130. See page 2-28 to 2-29 for details.

The Intel
®
6300ESB allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration for two SATA
connectors and supports the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Technology. See page
2-28 for details.
For SATA models, the Adaptec AIC-8130 PCI-X SATA-II (300 Mbps)
controller supports four additional SATA connectors, and allows RAID 0,
RAID 1, and RAID 0+1 configuration. See page 2-29 for details.
