Introduction
1-2 Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of the 7520 Lindenhurst
chipset, The X6DHT-G motherboard provides the performance and feature
set required for dual processor-based servers, with configuration options
optimized for communications, presentation, storage, computation or data-
base applications. The Intel E7520 (Lindenhurst) chipset consists of the
following components: the Lindenhurst Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the
6300ESB (Hance Rapids) I/O Controller Hub (Hance Rapids ICH), and the
Intel PCI-X Hub (PXH).
The E7520 (Lindenhurst) MCH supports single or dual Xeon EM64T (Nocona)
processors with Front Side Bus speeds of 800 MHz. Its memory controller
provides direct connection to two channels of registered DDR266, DDR333
with a marched system bus address and data bandwidths of up to 5.4GB/
s. The E7520 (Lindenhurst) also supports the new PCI Express high speed
serial I/O interface for superior I/O bandwidth. The MCH provides three
configurable x8 PCI Express interfaces which may alternatively be config-
ured as two independent x4 PCI Express interfaces. These interfaces sup-
port connection of the MCH to a variety of other bridges that are compliant
with the PCI Express Interface Specification, Rev. 1.0a.
6300ESB (Hance Rapids) System Features
The I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest
of the system. It supports 2-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE Control-
ler, two Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controllers, SMBus 2.0 Controller, LPC/
Flash BIOS Interface, PCI 2.3 Interface, and Integrated System Management
Controller.
6300ESB (Hance Rapids) ICH System Features
The 6300ESB (Hance Rapids) ICH system consists of:
The I/O Controller Hub (Hance Rapids ICH) provides the I/O subsystem with
access to the rest of the system. Additionally, it integrates many I/O func-
tions.
The 6300ESB (Hance Rapids) integrates: 2-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus
Master IDE Controller, two Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controllers, SMBus 2.0
Controller, LPC/Flash BIOS Interface, PCI-X (66MHz) 1.0 Interface, PCI 2.2
Interface and System Management Controller.
