DDR DIMM sockets. These four 184-pin DIMM sockets support up to
8GB system memory using registered ECC PC2700/2100/1600 DDR
DIMMs.
CPU socket. A 940-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
socket designed for the AMD
® Opteron™processor with an
integrated low-latency high-bandwidth memory controller and a
highly-scalable HyperTransport™ technology-based system bus.
ATX 12V connector. This power connector connects the 4-pin 12V
plug from the ATX 12V power supply.
ATX power connector. This 20-pin connector connects to an ATX
+12V power supply. The power supply must have at least 1.5A on the
+5V standby lead (+5VSB).
IDE connectors. These dual-channel bus master IDE connectors
support Ultra DMA133/100, PIO Modes 3 & 4 IDE devices. Both the
primary (blue) and secondary (black) connectors are slotted to prevent
incorrect insertion of the IDE ribbon cable.
Flash ROM. This 4Mb firmware contains the programmable BIOS
program.
System chipset. The Nvidia ® nForce 3 Pro 150 is a low-latency
subsystem that provides an extremely fast dedicated
HyperTransport link that sets the communication with the CPU at
up to 3.6 GB/s, a speed that ensures ample bandwidth for
integrated support for AGP, PCI, Serial ATA and other devices.
Super I/O controller. The ITE IT8712F-A interface provides the
commonly used Super I/O functionality. The chipset supports a high-
performance floppy disk controller for a 360K/720K/1.44M/2.88M
floppy disk drive, a multi-mode parallel port, 2 serial ports, the mouse
and keyboard interface and the LPC (Low Pin Count) interface.
Floppy disk connector. This connector accommodates the provided
ribbon cable for the floppy disk drive. One side of the connector is
slotted to prevent incorrect insertion of the floppy disk cable.
RAID ATA133 connector. This bus master IDE connector supports
Ultra DMA/133 IDE devices. This connector is slotted to prevent
incorrect insertion of the IDE ribbon cable.
