1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ lies the X8DTU-6TF+/ X8DTU-6F+, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel® 5520 chipset. Below are the main features of the serverboard. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ supports single or dual Intel® 5500/5600 Series processors in LGA1366 sockets. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of supported processors.

Memory

The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ features 18 DIMM sockets that can support up to 288 GB of registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 or 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM. Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.

UIO

The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ is a specially-designed serverboard that features Supermicro's UIO (Universal I/O) technology. UIO serverboards have a PCI Ex- press 2.0 x8 slot that can support any one of several types of UIO card types to add SAS ports, SATA ports, additional LAN ports or other additional functions to the serverboard. This allows the user to tailor the serverboard to their own needs.

Note: the server does not come with a UIO card installed.
