Supermicro Computer, Inc - X6DHE-XG2

Chipset:

• The Intel E7520 chipset consists of the following components:

• The Lindenhurst Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
• The 82801ER I/O Controller Hub 5-R (ICH5-R)
• The PCI-X Hub

Memory Controller Hub (MCH):

• Supports single or dual Nocona processors with Front Side Bus speeds of up to 800 MHz
• Supports the new PCI Express high speed serial I/O interface for superior I/O bandwidth
• Provides three configurable x8 PCI Express interfaces which may alternatively be configured as two independent x4 PCI Express interfaces.
• Interfaces with the 82801ER I/O Controller Hub 5-R (ICH5R) via a dedicated Hub Interface supporting a peak bandwidth of 266 MB/s using a x4 base clock of 66 MHz.

I/O Controller Hub 5-R (ICH5-R):

• Provides various integrated functions including:

• Two-channel Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE Controller
• USB 2.0 Host Controllers
• Integrated 10/100 LAN Controller
• LPC firmware hub (FWH) and Super I/O Interface
• System Management Interface
• Power Management Interface
• Integrated IOxAPIC
• 8259 Interrupt Controllers

Supported Operating System:

• Supports 64-bit Operating Systems
• Supports 32-bit Operating Systems

The X6DHE-XG2 Server Board supports single or dual Intel Nocona processors at a 800 MHz front side bus. Based upon Intel's NetBurst microarchitecture, the Nocona processor supports the IA-32 software and includes features found in the Xeon processor such as Hyper Pipelined Technology, which includes a multi-stage pipeline, allowing the processor to operate at much higher core frequencies.

Packaged in a 604-pin Flip Chip Micro Pin Grid Array(FC-mPGA4) platform in a Zero Insertion Force(ZIF) socket (mPGA 604), the Nocona Processor (800 MHz) which supports Hyper-Threading Technology and Intel EM64T, is ideal for high performance workstation and server environments with up to two processors on one system bus.
