Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 8016B-TLF lies the X8QBE-LF, a quad processor
serverboard based on the Intel 7500/ICH10R chipset. Below are the main features
of the X8QBE-LF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X8QBE-LF supports four Intel E7-4800/7500 Series processors in LGA1567
sockets. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X8QBE-LF has 32 DIMM slots that can support up to 1 TB of registered ECC
DDR3-1066/978/800 SDRAM. Modules of the same size and speed should be used.
See Chapter 5 details.
SATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ICH10R) section of the chipset
to provide a six-port SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and (Windows only)
5 supported. The SATA drives 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 SATA drives.
Rear I/O Ports
The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, a dedicated
IPMI LAN port and two Gb Ethernet ports. Two USB ports are also located here.
ATI Graphics Controller
The X8QBE-LF features an integrated Matrox G200eW video controller. The
G200eW is a 2D/3D/video accelerator chip with a 128-bit core.
IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-
fi cation that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro
server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server's hardware
status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle
a system that is non-responsive.
