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.
Dual-channel memory support Dual-channel memory support Dual-channel memory support Dual-channel memory support Dual-channel memory support
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.
Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology
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.
