1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 8015C-T lies the X7QCE, a quad processor
serverboard based on the Intel 7300 chipset. Below are the main features of the
X7QCE. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the 7300 chipset).
Processors
The X7QCE supports four Intel Xeon MP 7300/7200 sequence processors of the
same type (it does not support 130W processors). Please refer to the serverboard
description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors
(www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X7QCE has 24 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 192 GB of ECC
FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) DDR2-667/533 SDRAM. Single channel, two-channel
interleaved and four-channel interleaved memory all all supported. Modules of the
same size and speed should be used. See Chapter 5 Section 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ESB2) section of the chipset
to provide a six-port Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 supported.
The Serial ATA 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 X7QCE has two PCI-Express x8 slots, one PCI-Express x4 slot and one PCI-X
133 MHz slot.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and two onboard ATA/100 controllers are provided to
support up to two IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices (one IDE connection is reserved
for a Compact Flash card). The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port (an
additional COM header is located on the serverboard), a VGA (monitor) port, two
USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Gb Ethernet ports.
