Intel® Server Board SE7520JR2

3.5Configuration and Initialization

This section describes the initial programming environment including address maps for memory and I/O, techniques and considerations for programming ASIC registers, and hardware options configuration.

3.5.1Memory Space

At the highest level, the Intel Xeon processor address space is divided into four regions, as shown in the following figure. Each region contains the sub-regions that are described in following sections. Attributes can be independently assigned to regions and sub-regions using registers. The Intel E7520 chipset supports 64GB of host-addressable memory space and 64KB+3 of host-addressable I/O space. The Server Board SE7520JR2 supports only the main memory up to 24GB for DDR-266 or up to 16GB for DDR333/DDR2-400.
