12 13MAXDATA PLATINUM 520 ServerServer Board Features
Hardware Requirements
Processor
The server board is designed to support one or two Intel
®
Xeon™ processors utilizing an 800 MHz
front side bus with frequencies starting at 2.8 GHz. Previous generations of the Xeon processor are not
supported. The server board is designed to provide up to 120 A of current per processor. Processors
with higher current requirements are not supported.
Memory
The server board provides four DDR266 / DDR333 DIMM sites in two DIMM banks. The maximum
memory capacity is 8 GB for either DDR266 or DDR333 memory. Memory DIMM technologies
supported are: 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB.
The minimum memory configuration is one DIMM, installed in DIMM socket 1B (the socket farthest
from the processors). However, for optimum performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a
minimum of two DIMMs should be installed. DIMMs on channel A are paired with DIMMs on channel
B to configure 2-way interleaving.
Both DIMMS in Bank 1 (DIMM1B and DIMM1A) must be populated before any DIMMs are installed
in Bank 2 (DIMM2B and DIMM2A). Bank 2 must be populated in pairs.
Both DIMMs in a bank must be identical (same manufacturer, CAS latency, number of rows, columns
and devices, timing parameters etc.). Although DIMMs within a bank must be identical, the BIOS
supports various DIMM sizes and configurations allowing the banks of memory to be different.
The mixing of DDR266 and DDR333 memory is supported on the server board. However, when
mixing DIMM types, DDR333 will be treated as DDR266.
