The motherboard comes with dual 604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets
designed for the Intel
® Xeon™ processor with 800 MHz Front Side Bus
(FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. The processor incorporates the Intel ®
Hyper-Threading Technology, the Intel ® NetBurst™ micro-architecture that
features hyper-pipelined technology, and Extended Memory 64-bit
Technology (EM64T). The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit operation
system, such as 64-bit Windows
® and Linux. See page 2-10 for details.

The Intel ® E7320 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel ® 6300ESB
(I/O controller hub) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR2-400 memory, and PCI
Express interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O controller
hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3.
DDR2-400 memory support DDR2-400 memory support DDR2-400 memory support DDR2-400 memory support DDR2-400 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2-400 memory which features data transfer
rates of 400 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest
server applications. The dual-channel memory architecture doubles the
bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating
bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 6.4 GB/s.
PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point
serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by
carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with
existing PCI or PCI-X specifications. See page 2-19 for details.
