C H A P T E R 2 Intel Device View

Navigating through Intel	Many commands are available from within Intel Device View. These
Device View	are best accessed using mouse actions. However, Windows users can
	also access most of them through the menu bar.
The Intel Device View	There are three sections:
window	• Device Tree — displays the separate branches on your LAN,
	• Device Tree — displays the separate branches on your LAN,
	including a branch showing all unconfigured devices.
	• Interactive picture of the switch, or stack — shows the port state
	or the Explorer, which provides port and VLAN details for the
	switch or stack.
	• Information section — provides details about diagnostics, traps,
	errors and the system. Using this window, you can show activity
	statistics for the switch (or the stack) and for individual ports.

	Before a switch is contacted
Basic menu bar	Before a switch or stack is contacted, the following commands are
commands	available through the menu bar. The toolbar buttons are for users us-
	ing Intel Device View in Windows.
File menu	This contains one command, Exit which enables you to exit the Intel
	Device View. When a switch or stack is open and the configuration
	has been changed and not saved to the Flash Memory as the perma-
	nent configuration, you are asked if you want to save the new config-
	uration before exiting.
Device menu	The Device menu contains the following switch commands:
	• Install — enables you to install a new device, which does not
	have an IP address, in Intel Device View. Can also be accessed
	by selecting	.
	• Manage — enables a switch or stack that has an IP address
	already assigned to be managed or configured. Can also be
	accessed by selecting		.

• Discover — enables you to set up how the Device Tree discovers devices and users.

Note: do not leave the Subnet Mask blank or set to 0.0.0.0, as Intel Device View will continually broadcast device discovery messages to all networks and use bandwidth.

520T specifications

The Intel 520T is a well-regarded member of Intel's Xeon processor family, designed primarily for entry-level servers and workstations. Built on the 32nm manufacturing process, the 520T is based on the Nehalem microarchitecture, which has paved the way for improved performance and efficiency in data processing tasks.

One of the standout features of the Intel 520T is its energy efficiency. With a thermal design power (TDP) of just 35 watts, it provides an excellent balance between performance and power consumption. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for environments where energy costs are a significant concern, such as in data centers or small business server applications.

Equipped with four physical cores and hyper-threading technology, the 520T allows for eight threads of execution, enabling it to handle multi-threaded workloads effectively. It operates at a base clock speed of 2.2 GHz and can achieve turbo boost frequencies up to 2.5 GHz under optimal conditions, ensuring that it provides the necessary performance for demanding applications.

The processor supports Intel's trusted execution technology and virtualization technology, maximizing both security and performance in virtualized environments. This capability allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a physical server, making it an excellent fit for businesses looking to optimize their assets through virtualization.

The Intel 520T also features Intel's QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology, which provides a high-speed connection between the processor and other components, such as memory and storage. This feature helps minimize latency and maximizes bandwidth, enhancing overall system responsiveness.

In terms of memory support, the processor can handle up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, providing ample capacity for demanding applications. The 520T also supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, which is vital for mission-critical applications that require data integrity.

Security enhancements are another noteworthy aspect of the Intel 520T. With built-in security technologies, including hardware-based random number generation, the processor helps safeguard sensitive data and contributes to more secure computing environments.

Overall, the Intel 520T stands out as a robust option for users seeking an efficient server-grade processor capable of delivering strong performance while maintaining a low power profile. Its array of features, technologies, and characteristics make it a reliable choice for various computing needs.
