3.1 Intel

5000V Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

The memory controller hub (MCH) is a single 1432 pin FCBGA package that includes these core platform functions:

 System bus interface for the processor sub-system

 Memory controller

 PCI Express* ports including the enterprise south bridge interface (ESI)

 FBD thermal management

 SMBUS interface

3.1.1 System Bus Interface

The MCH is configured for symmetric multi-processing across two independent front side bus interfaces that connect to the processors. Each front side bus on the MCH uses a 64-bit wide 1066- or 1333-MHz data bus. The 1333-MHz data bus can transfer data at up to 10.66 GB/s. The MCH supports a 36-bit wide address bus, capable of addressing up to 64 GB of memory. The MCH is the priority agent for both front side bus interfaces, and is optimized for one processor on each bus.

3.1.2 Processor Support

The server board supports one or two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5100 series or low voltage Quad-Core Intel and 1333 MHz, and core frequencies starting at 1.6 GHz. Previous generations of the Intel

Xeon

processor are not supported.

Xeon® processor 5300 series, with system bus speeds of 1066 MHz,

3.1.2.1 Processor Population Rules

When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and bus/core speed. When only one processor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU1. The other socket must be empty.

The board provides up to 90A max, 70A TDC per processor. Processors with higher current requirements are not supported.

3.1.2.2 Common Enabling Kit (CEK) Design Support

The server board complies with Intel’s common enabling kit (CEK) processor mounting and heat sink retention solution. The server board ships with a CEK spring snapped onto the underside of the server board, beneath each processor socket. The heat sink attaches to the CEK, over the top of the processor and the thermal interface material (TIM). See the figure below for the stacking order of the chassis, CEK spring, server board, TIM, and heat sink.

The CEK spring is removable, allowing for the use of non-Intel heat sink retention solutions.

3.1.3 Memory Sub-system

The MCH masters two fully buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) memory channels. FBDIMM memory utilizes a narrow high-speed frame-oriented interface referred to as a channel. The two channels are routed to six DIMM slots and support registered DDR2-667 FBDIMM memory (stacked or unstacked). Peak FBDIMM memory data bandwidth in dual channel mode is

8.0GB/s (2x4.0 GB/s) with DDR2-667/PC2-5300 (3.0 ns at CL5).

3.1.3.2 DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations

DIMM population rules depend on the operating mode of the memory controller. The operating mode is determined by the number of DIMMs installed. DIMMs must be populated in pairs in DIMM slot order: A1 & B1, A2 & B2. DIMMs within a pair must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization, but DIMM capacities can be different across different DIMM pairs.

Note: The server board supports single DIMM mode operation. Intel will only validate and support this configuration with a single 512 MB x8 FBDIMM installed in DIMM slot A1.

3.2.3 Parallel ATA (PATA) Support

The integrated IDE controller of the 6321ESB ICH6 provides one IDE channel. It redefines signals on the IDE cable to allow both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates of up to 100 MB/s. The IDE channel provides optical drive support. The BIOS initializes and supports ATAPI devices such as LS-120/240, CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-ROM. The IDE channel is accessed through a high-density 40-pin connector ((J2K5) that provides I/O signals. The ATA channel can be configured and enabled or disabled through the BIOS Setup Utility.

3.2.4 USB 2.0 Support

The USB controller functionality integrated into the 6321ESB provides the interface for up to four USB 2.0 ports. Two external connectors are located on the back edge of the server board and one internal 2x5 header supports two optional USB 2.0 ports.

3.3 Video Support

An ATI* ES1000 PCI graphics accelerator with 16 MB of video DDR SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video sub-system is provided. The ATI ES1000 chip contains an SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D engine, and RAMDAC in a 359-pin BGA. One 4M x 16 x 4 bank DDR SDRAM chip provides 16 MB of video memory.

The SVGA sub-system supports modes up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8/16/32 bpp modes under 2D. It also supports both CRT and LCD monitors up to a 100 Hz vertical refresh rate.

Video is accessed using a standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server board. Video signals are also made available through the 120-pin bridge-board connector that provides signals for an optional video connector on the control panel. Video is routed to both the rear video connector and a control panel video connector. Video is present at both connectors simultaneously and cannot be disabled at either connector individually. Video monitors can be hot-plugged.
