Serverboard Features

At the heart of the 2021M-32R lies the H8DM3-2, a dual processor serverboard
based on the nVidia MCP55 Pro chipset and designed to provide maximum perfor-
mance. Below are the main features of the H8DM3-2. (See Figure 1-1 for a block
diagram of the MCP55 Pro chipset).
Processors
The H8DM3-2 supports single or dual AMD Opteron 2000 Series, Socket F type
processors. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for
a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com/aplus).
Memory
The H8DM3-2 has eight 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 64 GB of DDR2-
667 or 32 GB of DDR2-533/400 registered ECC SDRAM. The memory operates in
an interleaved confi guration and requires requires modules of the same size and
speed to be installed two at a time. See Chapter 5 Section 5 for details.
SAS
An LSI 1068E SAS controller is integrated into the H8DM3-2 to provide an eight-
port SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and JBOD sup-
ported. (Optional RAID 5 support is available with the iButton installed.) The SAS
drives are hot-swappable units. SR and IT modes are supported but not IR.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the SAS drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The H8DM3-2 has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two PCI-Express x8
slots, one PCI-Express x4 slot, one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot and two 64-bit
133/100 MHz PCI-X slots.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and one onboard ATA/133 controllers are provided to
support up to two IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices. The color-coded I/O ports
include one COM port (an additional COM header is located on the serverboard), a
