1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 7046GT-TRF/7046GT-TRF-TC4 lies the X8DTG-QF,
a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel 5520 (IOH-36D) chipset. Below
are the main features of the X8DTG-QF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of
the chipset).
Processors
The X8DTG-QF supports two Intel
®
5500 Series (LGA 1366) processors support-
ing two full-width Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) links with a total of up to 51.2
GT/s Data Transfer Rate (6.4 GT/s per direction). Please refer to the serverboard
description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors
(www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X8DTG-QF has twelve 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 96 GB of
registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM or up to 24 GB of unbuffered ECC/
non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 MHz SDRAM. Modules of the same size and speed
are recommended (for Unbuffered ECC/Non-ECC memory, a maximum of 2 GB per
DIMM is supported). See Chapter 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ICHR10R) section of the
chipset to provide a six-port 3/Gbs SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10
supported (RAID0, RAID1, RAID10, RAID5 supported in the Windows OS Environ-
ment and RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 supported by the Linux OS). The SATA drives
are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X8DTG-QF has four PCI-E Gen. 2.0 x16 slots (Slot 4, Slot 6, Slot 8, Slot 10),
one PCI-E Gen. 2.0 x4 (in x16) slot (Slot 2), one PCI-E 2.0 x4 (in x8) slot (Slot 11),
one PCI-E Gen. 1.0 x4 (in x16) slot (Slot 1) and two PCI 33 MHz slots (Slot 3, Slot
5) for a total of nine (9) PCI expansion slots.
