memory module. The two modules provide up to 768 MB of
Each module has three memory banks. Each bank consists of four SIMM sockets. Each socket can hold an 8, 16, or 32 MB approved
The ECC memory module detects and corrects
The server supports both base (conventional) and extended memory. Base memory is located at addresses 00000H to 9FFFFH (the first 640 KB). Extended memory begins at address 100000H (1 M) and extends to the limit of addressable memory (4 G).
Some operating systems and application programs use base memory (for example,
CPU Module
The server system board accepts one or two CPU modules, each capable of supporting one or two Pentium processors. Depending on system configuration, the module(s) contain single or dual Pentium processors and a memory bus controller (see Table
The dual processor module provides a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) environment. In SMP, all processors are equal and have no preassigned tasks. Distributing the processing loads between both processors increases system performance. This is particularly useful when application demand is low and the I/O request load is high. In the SMP environment, both processors share a common bus, the same interrupt structure, and access to common memory and I/O channels. The SMP implementation conforms to MP Specification Version 1.4.
The CPU modules are compatible with all
The single Pentium processor module uses the Intel 82497 cache controller and Intel 82492 SRAM components to provide 512 KB of zero wait state
The dual Pentium processor module uses the Intel 82498 cache controller and Intel 82493 SRAM components to provide 1 MB of zero wait state
