Preface

This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of the X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR motherboard.

About This Motherboard

The X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR motherboard supports the Intel 5500/5600 Series processors, the ﬁrst dual-processing platform that sup- ports the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) Technology, providing the next genera- tion point-to-point system interface to replace the current Front Side Bus. With the 5500/5600 Series processors built in, the X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T) F+-LR motherboard substantially enhances system performance in a small form- factor package. Please refer to our website (http://www.supermicro.com/products/) for updates on supported processors. This product is intended to be installed and serviced by professional technicians.
