Page 39: Chipset
8 Chipset 8.1 Overview The PowerEdge R510 motherboard incorporates the Intel 5500 chipset-24D IOH from Intel to perform memory control, provide two QPI bus to two processors, and provide an ESI interface to the South Bridge chip. The memory interface is optimized for 800/1066/1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM memory with ECC when running with Intel 5500 Chipset-EP processors. -
Page 40: Pci Express* Interfaces
The ESI interface connects the Intel 5500 chipset MCH to the ICH10R. The ESI interface runs at 2 GB/s with a 100 MHz reference clock. 8.3 Intel ICH10R South Bridge The PowerEdge R510 planar incorporates the Intel ICH10R chip. The ICH10R is a highly integrated I/O controller. 8.3.1 DMI interface The DMI interface connects the ICH10R to the IOH. -
