Chipset:

• Intel E7525 chipset components:

• Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
• 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH)

Memory Controller Hub (MCH):

• The MCH integrates the following main functions:

• An integrated high performance main memory subsystem
• An PCI Express bus which provides an interface to the PXH/PXHD or PCI Express devices
• A HL 1.5 bus which provides an interface to the 6300ESB ICH

• Other features provided by the MCH include the following:

• Full support of ECC on the processor bus
• Full support of Intel x4 SDDC on the memory interface with x4 DIMMs
• Twelve deep in-order queue, two deep defer queue
• Memory scrubbing

6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH):

• The primary role of the 6300ESB ICH is to provide the gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and uses the following the features:

• PCI, PCI-X bus interface
• LPC bus interface
• IDE interface, with Ultra DMA 100 capability
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 interface
• PC-compatible timer/counter and DMA Controllers
• APIC and 8259 Interrupt Controller
• Power Management
• System RTC
• General purpose I/O (GPIO)

Processor Support:

The Intel Server Boards SE7320EP2 and SE7525RP2 support one or two processors in the 604-pin FCPGA package. When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and bus/core speed. When only one processor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU0. The other socket must be empty.

Processor Support Circuitry Consists Of The Following:

• Processors must be populated in sequential order
• Processor socket 1 must be populated before processor socket 2
• The board is designed to provide up to 105A of current per processor
• Processors with higher current requirements are not supported
• No terminator is required in the second processor socket when using a uni-processor configuration
• Reset configuration logic
• Processor module presence detection logic
• Server management registers and sensors

Memory:

DIMMs banks must be populated in order starting with the slots furthest from MCH. Dual rank DIMMs must be populated before single rank DIMMs. A total of four DIMMs can be populated when all four DIMMs are dual rank DDR2-400 DIMMs.

Supported Operating Systems:

• Novell NetWare
• RedHat Linux Enterprise
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
• Microsoft Windows XP
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

With support for dual 64-bit Intel Xeon processors with an 800 MHz system bus and the Intel E7525 chipset, Intel Server Board SE7525RP2 is capable of powering solutions ranging from entry-level to enterprise-critical. Another capability, vital for running high-end graphics applications, is the board's support for up to 8 GB of Registered ECC DDR 2 400 SDRAM, dual-interleaved for improved performance.

For solutions requiring especially fast I/O, the board features next-generation PCI Express interconnect technology, which also expands application functionality by providing a common foundation for serial connectivity among servers, desktops, mobile devices, and other communications platforms.
