Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The PCE-7210 is designed with the Intel® E7520 chipset and 6300ESB

(I/O controller) to support sever grade Intel® Dual Xeon® / LV Xeon®

(FSB 800) Processor. It follows the PICMG 1.3 specification and is the

best solution for high computing performance and wide I/O bandwidth

demand applications.

Besides supports Dual Intel® Xeon® / LV Xeon® CPUs Intel® E7520

also provides three PCIe x8 Links which I/O bandwidth is up to 12 GB/s.

With this feature PCE-7210 provide two x8 Links and one x4 Link to the

PICMG 1.3 backplane, it offers up to 10 GB/s bandwidth for the back-

plane. It allows the backplane configure to variant expansion I/O slot

such as PCI-express slots thru the PCIe to PCIe Switch Chips or PCI-X

slots by PCIe to PCI-X Bridge chips which eliminates the I/O traffic bot-

tleneck between I/O boards and CPU board. The other one PCIe x4 Link

is linked to Broadcom BCM5715C dual ports Gigabit LAN chip. With

this chip, PCE-7210 may provide high throughputs for heavy loading net-

working environment.

PCE-7210 provides 4 DIMMs which may support dual channel DDR2-

400 ECC Registered RAM up to 8GB. DDR2 is double bandwidth than

the DDR RAM between memory and North Bridge. It provides same

bandwidth between CPU, North Bridge and memory which optimize the

performance for memory demanding applications. ECC Registered RAM

is for memory error detection and correction of any number of bit failures

which may provide reliable environment for industrial applications.

An optional small form factor mezzanine card provides a fully fledged

IPMI 2.0 interface with LAN and serial port support for out-of-band man-

agement (including serial console redirection over LAN).

PCE-7210 uses the ATI-7000M Graphic chip. It integrates 16M on chip

graphic memory and 2D/3D Accelerator, supports dual VGA display and

one DVI interfaces. It is enough for most graphic demand in the server

grade applications.

PCE-7210 provides two Serial ATA ports (up to 150MB/s) which support

Software RAID 0 or 1 functions. Customer may set a higher reliability

storage application without extra cost.

In addition, the PCE-7210 also provides most of the popular I/O inter-

faces such as four USB2.0 ports, two ATA-100 EIDE ports, AC'97 audio
