Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 8046B-6RF/8046B-TRF lies the X8QB6-F/X8QBE-
F, a quad processor serverboard based on the Intel 7500 + ICH10R chipset. (See
Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X8QB6-F/X8QBE-F supports four Intel Xeon 7500 Series processors in 1567-
pin LGA sockets. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site
for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X8QB6-F/X8QBE-F can support up to 512 GB of registered ECC or unbuf-
fered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/978/800 memory. (DDR-1333 memory will run at
1066 MHz.) Modules of the same size and speed should be used. See Chapter 5
Section 5 for details.
Serial Attached SCSI (X8QB6-F)
An onboard LSI 2108 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller is integrated into the
X8QB6-F (only), which supports eight 6 Gbps SAS hard drives. The SAS drives are
connected to a backplane that provides power, bus termination and confi guration
settings and are hot-swappable units. Note: The operating system you use must
have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability and RAID function of the
SAS drives. RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ICH10R) section of the
chipset to provide a six-port 3 Gbps SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10
and 5 supported (RAID 5 supported by Windows only). The Serial ATA drives are
hot-swappable units.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X8QB6-F/X8QBE-F can support one of the following confi gurations.
•
two PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots
•
one PCI-E 2.0 x16 and two PCI-E 2.0 x8 slots
•
four PCI-E 2.0 x8 slots
