Motherboard Features
The 5037MC-H12TRF includes a total of 12 X9SCE-F single processor mother-
boards, which are based on the Intel C204 PCH chipset. Each motherboard con-
stitutes a node in the system. Below are the main features of the X9SCE-F. (See
Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)

Each X9SCE-F supports a single Intel E3-1200 v2 Series up to 69W (87W condi-
tional), Intel 2nd Generation Core i3 or Intel Pentium family processor in an LGA
1155 socket. Please refer to the motherboard description pages on our web site for

Memory
Each X9SCE-F has four DIMM slots that can support up to 32 GB of ECC DDR3-
1600/1333/1066 VLP-UDIMM memory. This equates to a maximum of 384 GB for
the system. Memory modules of the same size and speed should be used. See
Chapter 5 for details.
SATA
A SATA controller integrated into the chipset provides a four-port SATA subsystem
on each node. These can be confi gured as 2x 3.5" SATA3 or 4x 2.5" SATA (2x
SATA3 + 2x SATA2) HDDs with an optional kit.
Rear I/O Ports

LAN ports, one dedicated IPMI LAN port, a power LED and buttons for UID (Unit
Identifi cation) and power.
