1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5013C-MT lies the P4SCT+, a single pro-
cessor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are
the main features of the P4SCT+.
Chipset Overview
The P4SCT+ is based on Intel’s E7210 chipset (see Figure 1-1 for a block
diagram). The E7210 chipset is made up of two main components:
The Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB)
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The MCH controls the flow of data between the host (CPU) interface, the memory
interface and the I/O Controller Hub interface. It contains advanced power man-
agement logic and supports dual-channel (interleaved) DDR memory, providing
bandwidth of up to 6.4 GB/s using DDR400 SDRAM. The MCH supports configu-
rations of a 800 MHz FSB with a 400/333 memory interface, a 533 MHz FSB with
a 333/266 memory interface, and a 400 MHz FSB with a 266 MHz memory
interface.
The MCH supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, x4, x8, and x16 DDR.
Maximum system memory supports up to 4.0 GB for dual-channel, ECC or Non-
ECC unbuffered DDR. Registered and/or mixed-mode DIMMs are not supported.
For more information, please refer to Chapter 5.
I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB)
The 6300ESB ICH provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the
system. It integrates a dual-channel Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE controller,
the SMBus 2.0 controller, the LPC/Flash BIOS interface, the PCI-X (66MHz) 1.0
interface, the PCI 2.2 interface and the System Management Controller.
