1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The PU-DLS/PU-DL motherboard supports the Intel
®
Xeon processor via
dual 604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel
®
NetBurst micro-architecture that includes hyper-threading technology, a
rapid execution engine, a 533/400MHz system bus, and an execution trace
cache to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more
information.
DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the PU-DLS
motherboard supports up to 12GB of system memory using PC2100/1600
registered ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 266/200MHz memory bus
doubles the speed of the PC133/PC100 SDRAM to deliver the required
bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
Advanced 64-bit PCI-X bus
The 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X bus onboard maximizes I/O bandwidth for the
next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support 133MHz bus. The PCI-X
specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI buses
and provides options for intelligent I/O and server management cards.
Onboard LAN
The motherboard comes with the Intel
®
82540EM 32-bit PCI Gigabit
Ethernet controller, and the Intel
®
82544GC 64-bit PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet
controller, to fully support 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media
Access Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant), and provide Physical Layer
Transceiver solution for high performance network applications.
Dual-channel Ultra-320 SCSI
The Adaptec 7902W Ultra-320 SCSI controller and dual-channel SCSI
connectors are onboard to provide high-speed data transfers.
The Dual-Channel Ultra-320 SCSI features are available only on
PU-DLS models.
