2.2.1 Intel 7500 Chipset
101B
The 7500 chipset is designed to support Intel
QPI Interconnect, DDR3 memory technology, and PCI Express Generation 2 (PCIe 2). The 7500 chipset
consists of the IOH QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), Intel
South Bridge.
2.2.2

Intel Xeon Processor 6500 and 7500 Series

102B
The processor features up to eight-core processing to with maximize performance (expected up to
3.8x performance improvements) and performance/watt and significant energy efficiency
improvements for data center infrastructures and highly dense deployments. Additionally, the Intel
Xeon processor 6500 and 7500 series features the Intel
32-bit applications and operating systems.
2.2.3

Dell FlexMem Bridge

103B
The PowerEdge R810 also introduces a new, Dell patent-pending, technology which will allow
flexibility in processor and memory scalability—FlexMem Bridge. The FlexMem Bridge allows the full
amount of addressable DIMMs on 4-Socket systems with Intel Xeon processor 7500 and 6500 series to
be accessed, even when only 2 of the processors are in place, in a completely passive solution (no
active components).
2.2.4 Internal Dual SD Module
104B
The PowerEdge R810 also offers a second internal USB port dedicated for embedded Hypervisor for
virtualization operating systems like Citrix
called an Internal Dual SD Module. The IDSM port is located behind the control panel. The SD Flash
Cards contains a bootable OS image for virtualized platforms. IDSM consists of up to two SD cards
that are mirrored when set in the redundant mode for the higher availability.
