Motherboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 7043M-8/7043M-6 lies the X5DMS-8GM/X5DMS-
6GM, a dual processor motherboard based on Intel's E7501 chipset and designed
to provide maximum performance. Below are the main features of the X5DMS-
8GM/X5DMS-6GM. See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the E7501 chipset.
Processors
The X5DMS-8GM/X5DMS-6GM supports single or dual 604-pin Intel Xeon proces-
sors of up to 3.20 GHz at a 533/400 MHz FSB (front side bus). Please refer to
the motherboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of
supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/Product_page/product-
m.htm).
Memory
The X5DMS-8GM/X5DMS-6GM has six 184-pin DIMM slots that can support up
to 12 GB of registered ECC DDR266 (PC2100) SDRAM. Module sizes of 128MB,
256MB, 512MB 1GB and 2GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots. (The
X5DMS-8GM/X5DMS-6GM was designed to support 2GB DIMM modules in each
slot, however 2GB memory modules have not yet been validated.)
Onboard SCSI
7043M-8: Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI chip, which
supports Ultra320 SCSI at a throughput of 320 MB/sec. The X5DMS-8GM pro-
vides two Ultra320 SCSI ports.
7043M-6: Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7899W SCSI chip,
which supports Ultra160 SCSI at a throughput of 160 MB/sec . The X5DMS-6GM
provides two Ultra160 SCSI ports.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SCSI drives.
