Chapter 1: Introduction

Processors

The P4SC8 supports a single Intel® Pentium® 4 processor (with a 2MB integrated transfer cache) of up to 3.40 GHz with hyper-threading technol- ogy in a 478-pin microPGA socket (processors up to 3.20 GHz must be 90 nano or 0.13 micron technology) or a single Intel® Celeron® processor (with a 128KB integrated advanced transfer cache) of up to 2.80 GHz. Please refer to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/support/).

Memory

The P4SC8 has four (4) 184-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 4 GB of ECC unbuffered DDR400/333/266 SDRAM modules. Low-profile memory modules are required for use in the 1U form factor of the 5013C-M8. Mod- ule sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots. All memory modules should be the same size and speed.

SCSI Subsystem

The E7210's on-chip SCSI controller supports four 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. (Standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. The SCSI drives are also hot- swap units.

PCI Expansion Slots

The P4SC8 has two 32-bit, 33 MHz (5V) PCI slots and two 64-bit, 66 MHz (3.3V) PCI-X slots. When configured as the 5013C-M8, one 66 MHz PCI-X slot is available with the use of a riser card (included with the system).

Ethernet Ports

The P4SC8 has an onboard controller that supports two Gigabit LAN ports.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

An onboard IDE controller supports up to four Ultra ATA 100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM port, one parallel (printer) port, a VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two GLAN (NIC) ports.
