NVIDIA NForce Professional 2200 and 2050 chipsets
The ProLiant DL585 makes use of both the NVIDIA nForce Professional 2200 and 2050 chipsets to
offer a large number of expansion slots for enhanced flexibility. The 2050 chipset connects to the
AMD-8132 HyperTransport tunnel with a 16-bit, 1-GHz HyperTransport interface. It provides 20
lanes of PCIe support divided into three x4 slots and one x8 slot. The 2200 chipset connects directly
to the processors with an additional 16-bit, 1-GHz HyperTransport connection. In addition to
supporting system devices and USB ports, the 2200 offers an additional PCIe x4 slot and two PCIe x8
slots.
The AMD-8132 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel provides two PCI-X bridges (Figure 3). One bridge (16-
bit, 1-GHz HyperTransport interface) connects to the CPUs. The other bridge (also 16-bit, 1-GHz
HyperTransport interface) connects to the downstream NVIDIA nForce Professional 2050 PCIe Bridge.
The AMD-8132 supports two PCI-X bridges operating at 100 MHz. One PCI-X bridge supports two
100-MHz expansion slots (one full length and the other half length). The other PCI-X bridge supports
two NC371i gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
