Memory

The four DIMM sockets on board allow memory upgrade to a maximum of 4GB using four 1 GB DDR SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) DIMMs. For data integrity, the default setting of the ECC (error- correcting code) function of the memory system in BIOS is enabled.

The system board supports DDR266 SDRAMs; PC-133, PC-100, PC-66 MHz SDRAMs are not supported.

System chipsets

ServerWorks GC-SL chipset

The ServerWorks GC-SL+SL chipset was specifically designed to meet the needs of high performance systems. It consists of two components: SeverWorks CMIC-SL (North bridge) and ServerWorks CSB6 (South bridge).

ServerWorks CMIC-SL(North bridge) supports Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU with mPGA478 package. Build-in features include main memory interface with optimized support for DDR SDRAM, 64-bit, 33MHz primary PCI bus interface (PCI) with integrated PCI arbiter, I2C bus support and other related functions.

ServerWorks CSB6 (South bridge) integrates support for ACPI, USB 1.1, SMBus, PCI master, PCI arbiter, LPC bus controller, LPC arbiter, seven channel 8237 compatible DMA controller and DMA 66/100 on primary & secondary IDE with DMA66 on third IDE and other standard PC functions.

LAN subsystem

Another cost-effective feature for network solution is the integration of Intel® 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet controller which supports Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 2.0 based power management, advanced System Management Bus (SMBus) based manageability, Wired for Management (WfM) 2.0 compliance, TCP/ UDP/IP checksum calculation and segmentation, PCI 2.2 compliance, and PC 2001 compliance.
