Serverboard Features

At the heart of the 1040C-T/1040C-8 lies the H8QCE+/H8QC8+, a quad proces-
sor serverboard based on the nVidia nForce Pro 2200 (CK804)/AMD8132 chipset.
Below are the main features of the H8QCE+/H8QC8+. (See Figure 1-1 for a block
diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The H8QCE+/H8QC8+ supports four 940-pin AMD Opteron 800 Series 64-bit pro-
cessors. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com/aplus/).
Memory
The H8QCE+/H8QC8+ has sixteen 184-pin DIMM slots (four for each CPU), which
support up to 32 GB of registered ECC DDR400/333 SDRAM or up to 64 GB of
registered ECC DDR266 SDRAM. The memory is an interleaved confi guration,
which requires modules of the same size and speed to be installed in pairs.
Onboard SATA (1040C-T only)
SATA is provided with an on-chip 3 GB/sec SATA controller. The H8QCE+provides
four SATA ports.
Onboard SCSI (1040C-8 only)
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902W SCSI chip, which supports
dual channel, Ultra320 SCSI at a throughput of 320 MB/sec for each channel. The
H8QCE+ provides two LVD Ultra320 SCSI ports.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and one ATA/133/100 controller are provided to sup-
port up to four hard drives or ATAPI devices. The color-coded I/O ports include
one COM port (an additional COM header is located on the serverboard), a VGA
(monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two G-bit
Ethernet ports.
ATI Graphics Controller
The H8QCE+/H8QC8+ features an integrated ATI video controller based on the
Rage XL graphics chip.
