Processor
Each server board must have one processor installed. Each board can use a different
processor. For a list of supported Intel processors, see
motherboards/server/X38ML.
Memory
Each server board supports four DDR2 667 / 800 MHz unbuffered ECC or non-ECC
DIMMs. The maximum memory capacity is 8 GB memory. The minimum is one 256 MB
DIMM. The four slots are partitioned into Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists
of DIMM A1 and DIMM A2. Channel B consists DIMM B1 and DIMM B2. DIMM A1 is
the closest to the MCH.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
•
If dual-channel operation is desired, Channel A and Channel B must be populated
identically (i.e., same capacity).
•
Use DDR2 667 / 800 only.
•
The speed used on all the channels is the slowest DIMM in the system.
•
Use ECC or non-ECC DIMMs.
•
You can mix different memory technologies (size and density).
•
For single-channel mode, either channel may be used and DIMM sockets within the
same channel can be populated in any order.
•
For dual-channel interleaved mode, DIMM sockets may be populated in any order
as long as the total memory in each channel is the same.
•
For dual-channel asymmetric mode, DIMM sockets may be populated in any order.
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see
motherboards/server/X38ML.
Power Supply
A minimum of 270 Watts is required. The power supply must provide a minimum of 1.5A
of 5V standby current or the board will not boot.
