Functional Architecture
®
®
The architecture and design of the Intel
Workstation Board S5000XVN is based on the Intel
®
®
S5000X chipset. This chipset is designed for systems that use the Intel
Xeon
processor with
system bus speeds of 667 MHz, 1066 MHz, and 1333 MHz.
The chipset contains two main components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for the host
bridge and the I/O controller hub for the I/O subsystem. The chipset uses the Enterprise South
Bridge (ESB2-E) for the I/O controller hub. This chapter provides a high-level description of the
functionality associated with each chipset component and the architectural blocks that make up
the server board.

S5000 Server
Board Family Datasheet.
