SUPERSERVER 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/TF-TM2/TF-TC2 User's Manual

1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/6016GT-TF-TM2/6016GT- TF-TC2 lies the X8DTG-DF, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel 5520 chipset. Below are the main features of the X8DTG-DF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X8DTG-DF supports two Intel Xeon processor 5600/5500 series. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of sup- ported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X8DTG-DF has 12 DIMM slots that can support up to 192 GB of registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM or up to 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 MHz SDRAM. Modules of the same size and speed are recommended. See Chapter 5 for details.

Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ICHR10) section of the chipset to provide a six-port 3/Gbs SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 sup- ported. 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.

PCI Expansion Slots

The X8DTG-DF has two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots and one PCI-Express 2.0 x4 slot. The 6016GT-TF-TM2 and 6016GT-TF-TC2 (and the 6016GT-TF if GPUs are installed) can accommodate one low-profile PCI-E x4 card with a riser card in a x16 slot. The 6016XT-TF without GPUs installed can support four full size PCI-E x8 cards in the x16 slots and (with a riser card) one low-profile PCI-E x4 card in a x16 slot.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port (an additional COM header is located on the serverboard), a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Gb Ethernet ports.
