Feature Description
Processor Installed: Up to four Intel
®
Pentium
®
III Xeon
processors, packaged in single
edge contact (S.E.C.) cartridges and installed in 330-pin SC330.1 compliant
edge connectors, operating at 1.8 V to 3.5 V. The baseboard’s voltage regulator
is automatically programmed by the processor’s VID pins to provide the required
voltage. The baseboard includes connectors for three 8.3-compliant plug-in
voltage-regulator modules (VRM).
Memory, dynamic
random access (DRAM)
Single plug-in module containing 64/72-bit four-way-interleaved pathway to main
memory supporting SDRAM.
Installed: 256 MB to 16 GB of error correcting code (ECC) memory. A minimum
of four DIMMs must be installed.
Video memory (DRAM) Installed: 2 MB of video memory.
