SUPERSERVER 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF User's Manual

1-2 Motherboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF lies the X9SCL-F, a single processor motherboard based on Intel's C202 chipset. Below are the main features of the X9SCL-F (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X9SCL-F supports a single Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 Series processor or a CoreTM i3-2100 Series processor in an LGA1155 socket. Please refer to the motherboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors.

Memory

The X9SCL-F has four DIMM sockets that can support up to 32 GB of unbuffered DDR3-1333/1066 memory. Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.

Serial ATA

An on-chip SATA controller is integrated into the X9SCL-F to provide a six-port, 3 Gb/sec Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported (RAID 5 supported with Windows OS only). The SATA drives are hot-swappable units. Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability and RAID function of the SATA drives. Documentation on RAID setup guidelines can be found on our web site.

I/O Ports

The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports. A dedicated IPMI LAN port is also included.

Graphics Controller

The X9SCL-F features an integrated ATI video controller based on the Matrox G200eW graphics chip, which has 16 MB of DDR2 memory.
