Server Board S3420GP may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

3.1 Processor Sub-System
The Intel® Server Board S3420GP supports the following processor:
Intel Intel Intel
The Intel
nm processor technology. The Intel
®
Xeon® Processor 3400 series
®
CoreTM Processor i3-500 Desktop series
®
Pentium® Processor G6950
®
Xeon® 3400 Processor Series are made up of multi-core processors based on the 45
®
CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium®
Processor G6950are made up of dual core processor based on the 32 nm processor technology.
3.1.1 Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series highly integrated solution variant is composed of four Nehalem-based processor cores.
FC-LGA 1156 socket package with 2.5 GT/s. Up to 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP); processors with higher TDP are not
supported.
The server board does not support previous generations of the Intel
®
Xeon® processors.
3.1.2 Intel® CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950
The Intel® Duo CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950 highly integrated solution variant is composed of two processor cores.
FC-LGA 1156 socket package with 2.5 GT/s. Up to 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP); processors with higher TDP are not
supported.
Please get the detail supported processor list from Intel website.
3.1.3 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is featured on certain processors in the Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series. Intel processor to run faster than the marked frequency if the processor is operating below power, temperature, and current limits. This results in increased performance for both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.
®
Intel
Turbo Boost Technology operation:
Turbo Boost operates under Operating System control – It is only entered when the
operating system requests the highest (P0) performance state.
Turbo Boost operation can be enabled or disabled by BIOS.
Revision 2.4
®
Turbo Boost Technology opportunistically and automatically allows the
Intel order number E65697-010
17
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S3420GP TPS
Turbo Boost converts any available power and thermal headroom into higher frequency
on active cores. At nominal marked processor frequency, many applications consume less than the rated processor power draw.
Turbo Boost availability is independent of the number of active cores. Maximum Turbo Boost frequency depends on the number of active cores and varies by
processor configuration.
The amount of time the system spends in Turbo Boost operation depends on workload,
operating environment, and platform design.
If the processor supports the Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology feature, the BIOS Setup provides
an option to enable or disable this feature. The default state is enabled.
3.1.4 Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT)
Most Intel® Xeon® processors support Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). The BIOS detects processors that support this feature and enables the feature during POST.
If the processor supports this feature, the BIOS Setup provides an option to enable or disable this feature. The default is enabled.
3.1.5 Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
Most processors support the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology. This technology changes the processor operating ratio and voltage similar to the Thermal Monitor 1 (TM1) feature. The BIOS implements this technology in conjunction with the TM1 feature.
The BIOS enables a
combination of TM1 and TM2 according to the processor BIOS writer's guide.
3.2 Memory Subsystem
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series has an Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) in its package. Each Intel memory. Each DDR3 channel in the IMC supports up to three DDR3 RDIMM slots or up to two UDIMM slots. The DDR3 RDIMM frequency can be 800/1066/1333 MHz. DDR3 UDIMM frequency can be 1066/1333 MHz. All RDIMMs and UDIMMs include ECC (Error Correction Code) operation. Various speeds and memory technologies are supported.
Note: Intel
®
Xeon® Processor L3406 only supports DDR3 Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM).
The Intel® CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950 have an Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) supports DDR3 protocols with two independent, 64-bit wide channels each accessing one or two DIMMs. Only DDR3 UDIMM can be supported with the
®
Intel
Core® i3-500 Desktop Processor Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950.
RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) is not supported on the Intel S3420GP.
®
Xeon® Processor 3400 Series produces up to two DDR3 channels of
®
Server Board
3.2.1 Memory Sizing and Configuration
The Intel® Server Board S3420GP supports various memory module sizes and configurations. These combinations of sizes and configurations are valid only for DDR3 DIMMs approved by Intel Corporation.
