Chipset

10.1 Overview

The T710 motherboard incorporates the Intel 5500-EP chipset for I/O and processor interfacing. The
Intel 5500 chipset supports Intel's 5500 two-socket processor family, QPI interconnect, DDR3 memory
technology, and PCI Express Generation 2. The Intel 5500 chipset consists of the Intel-5500 36D Dual
IOH and ICH9.

10.2 Intel 5500 Chipset Dual I/O Hub (IOH)

The T710 motherboard incorporates the Intel 5500 chipset 36D Dual IOH to provide a link between the
Intel 5500 two-socket processors and I/O components. The main components of the IOH consist of two
full-width QPI links (one to each processor), 72 lanes of PCIe Gen2, and a x4 ESI link to connect
directly to the South Bridge.
The IOH supports a special mode to work with DP processors that allow two IOHs to appear as a single
IOH to the processors in the system. This mode results in special behavior in the link and protocol
