1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the 1041M-T2/1041M-82 lies the H8QME-2+/H8QM8-2+, a quad
processor serverboard based on the nVidia MCP55 Pro and AMD-8132 chipsets.
Below are the main features of the H8QME-2+/H8QM8-2+ (see Figure 1-1 for a
block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The H8QME-2+/H8QM8-2+ supports dual or quad AMD Socket F type processors.
Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete
listing of supported processors.
Memory
The H8QME-2+/H8QM8-2+ has sixteen 240-pin DIMM slots supporting up to 32
GB of registered ECC DDR2-667/533 SDRAM or 64 GB of registered ECC DDR2-
400 SDRAM. The memory is supported on both interleaved and non-interleaved
confi gurations. Please refer to Section 5-5 for details.
Serial ATA Subsystem
An on-chip (MCP55) S ATA controller is integrated into the H8QME-2+/H8QM8-2+
to provide a six-port, 3 Gb /sec Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5
and JBOD supported. The SATA drives are hot-swappabl e units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RA ID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.
SCSI Subsystem (1041M-82)
The H8QM8-2+ includes an onboard Adaptec AIC-7902 dual-channel SCSI control-
ler, which supports four 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. (Standard 1" drives
are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are con-
nected to an SCA backplane that provides power, bus termination and confi guration
settings. The SCSI drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RA ID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The H8QME-2+/H8QM8-2+ has one x16 PCI-Express slot. One standard size
(full-height, full-length) expansion card may be used with the server. See Section
5-6 for details.
