1-2 Motherboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 5014C-T lies the P8SCi, a single processor motherboard based upon Intel's E7221 chipset. Below are the main fea- tures of the P8SCi.

Processor

The P8SCi has an LGA775 ZIF socket to support a single Intel® Pentium® 4 ("Prescott" type) processor with hyper-threading technology at an 800/533 MHz FSB speed or a single Intel® Celeron® processor at a 533 MHz FSB speed. Please refer to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/support/).

Memory

The P8SCi has four (4) 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 4 GB of unbuffered ECC type DDR2-533/400 SDRAM modules. The P8SCi's dual- channel memory bus requires modules to be populated in pairs. All memory modules must be the same size and speed.

Serial ATA

A Serial ATA controller is incorporated into the ICH6 (South Bridge) portion of the E7721 chipset to provide a two-port Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0 and RAID 1 supported. The drives may also be used in a JBOD configuration. The Serial ATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

The P8SCi has two PCI-Express x1 slots, one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot and one 32-bit PCI slot. One riser card is included with the system (see Chapter 5 for details).

Ethernet Ports

Two onboard Broadband BCM5721 Ethernet controllers are integrated into the P8SCi to support two Gigabit LAN (Ethernet) ports.
