Chapter 1: Introduction

Serverboard Features

CPU

Dual AMD Opteron 2000 series (Socket F type) processors

Note: Supports 237x, 238x, 235x and 24xx processors. Please refer to our web site for further

details on supported processors.

Memory

Sixteen single/dual channel DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB of DDR2-800 /667/533 registered ECC SDRAM

Note: Due to a CPU limitation, fully populating DIMM slots with DDR2-667 will pull the speed down to

533 MHz (see our web site for possible updates to this). Refer to Section 2-4 before installing memory

and our web site for recommended DIMMs.
