Intel® Server Board SE7501WV2 TPS

Functional Architecture

3.2.3P64H2

The P64H2 is a 567-ball FCBGA device and provides an integrated I/O bridge that provides a high-performance data flow path between the HI 2.0 and the 64-bit I/O subsystem. This subsystem supports peer 64-bit PCI-X segments. Because it has two PCI interfaces, the P64H2 can provide large and efficient I/O configurations. The P64H2 functions as the bridge between the HI and the two 64-bit PCI-X I/O segments. The HI can support 1 GB/s of data bandwidth.

3.2.3.1PCI Bus P64-B I/O Subsystem

The P64-B supports the following embedded devices and connectors:

One 184-pin, 5-volt keyed, 64-bit PCI expansion slot connector. The expansion slot can be used for either a 1-slot or a 3-slot PCI riser card. Both riser cards support 184-pin, 3.3V keyed, 64-bit PCI expansion slots. The PCI slots on the P64-B PCI bus support both full-length PCI cards and low profile PCI cards with the appropriate faceplate.

One Intel® 82546EB dual channel 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller.

The BIOS is responsible for setting the bus speed of the P64-B. The following tables show the bus frequency according to slot population. The bus speed will always be set up to run at the speed of the slowest card installed.
