following features:
• Two Intel Itanium 2 processor sockets and power pod sites
• Eight 184-pin, DDR-SDRAM DIMM sockets
• SNC-M (Scalable Node Controller) of the E8870 chip set
• Four Memory Repeater Hubs – DDR (MRH-D) components of the E8870 chip set
• One P64H2 PCI-X bridge component (to drive SCSI controller and NIC)
• SCSI Ultra320 Controller
