SUPERSERVER 6026TT-BT(R)F/BIBX(R)F/BIBQ(R)F User's Manual

1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6026TT are four X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-

IBQF dual processor serverboards, which are based on Intel's 5520 (North Bridge)

+ ICH10R (South Bridge) chipset. (For OEM only, the Intel 5500 is also available

for the North Bridge portion of the chipset.) Below are the main features of the

serverboards. Note that the features on each board are quadrupled for the server,

which includes four nodes.

Processors

Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF supports two Intel® 5500 Series proces-

sors in LGA1366 sockets. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of

supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF has twelve 240-pin DIMM sockets that

can support up to 96 GB of registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM (384

GB for the system). Alternatively, up to 24 GB of unbuffered DIMMs per node may

be used. See Chapter 5 Section 6 for more details on installing memory into the

system.

Serial ATA

The South Bridge (ICH10R) of the chipset includes a Serial ATA controller for six

Gb/s SATA drives. The hot-swappable SATA drives are connected to a backplane

that provides power, bus termination and conﬁ guration settings. RAID 0, 1, 10 and

5 are supported. Refer to the support area of our web site for procedures on set-

ting up RAID on your system.

PCI Expansion Slots

Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF board has one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot,

so four PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (for low-proﬁ le expansion cards) are provided

in the server. In the 6026TT-BT(R)F/BIBX(R)F/BIBQ(R)F server conﬁ guration, riser

cards have been pre-installed to support low-proﬁ le add-on cards.

Ethernet Ports

An Intel® network controller is integrated into each of the serverboards to support

two Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000Base-T/1000BaseTX, RJ45 output).
