1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6015B-Ni lies the X7DBU, a dual processor
serverboard based on Intel's 5000P chipset. Below are the main features of the
X7DBU (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X7DBU supports single or dual 771-pin Intel Xeon 5300/5100/5000 series pro-
cessors at a FSB speed of 1333/1066/667 MHz. Please refer to the serverboard
description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors.
Memory
The X7DBU has eight 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 32 GB of ECC
FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) DDR2-667 or DDR2-533 SDRAM. The memory is an
interleaved confi guration, which requires modules of the same size and speed to be
installed in pairs. Please refer to Chapter 5 for memory speed jumper settings.
UIO
The X7DBU is a specially-de signed serverboard that features Supermicro's U IO
(Universal I/O) techno logy. UIO serverboards have a PCI-Ex press x8 connector
that can support any one of several t ypes of UIO card types to add SAS ports,
additional LAN ports, etc. to the serverboard. This allows the user to tailor the
serverboard to their own needs.
Serial ATA
An on-chip (ESB2) SATA controller is integrate d into the X7DBU to provide a
six-port, 3 Gb/sec Se rial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1 and 10 supported.
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 Serial ATA drives.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and one onboard ATA/100 controller are provided to
support up to two IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices. 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.
