Datasheet

The Intel
®
Server Board SDS2is a powerful server board with
support for two Intel
®
Pentium
®
III processors with 512-KB L2
cache and 6 GB of two-way interleaved PC133 ECC SDRAM
memory. The increased L2 cache and extensive memory
support will enable you to meet your customers’growing
business needs.The Server Board SDS2has a number
of powerful features to ensure high reliability and avail-
ability, including Intel
®
Server Management and more
than 240 integrated components dedicated to monitoring
and managing the health of your server. These features will
help you ensure that this server board is the foundation for a
highly reliable server.
Flexibility and Scalability
The flexibilityof the Server Board SDS2allowsyou tocustomize
solutions to meet a range of customer needs. For added
flexibilityandeasy expansion,the Server Board SDS2 includes
six PCI slots, all of which support full-length adapter cards.
It also supports Triple Peer PCI buses, which provide superior
I/O throughput and the ability to better manage high-speed I/O.
Additional server technologies include dual integrated Intel
®
PRO Server Ethernet Controllers,dual-channel Ultra160
SCSI
storage, and advanced Intel
®
Server Management capabilities.
Because these features are integrated on the server board,
all six PCI slots are available for further expansion.
Solutions to Meet Your Customers’Unique Needs
The Intel
®
Server Board SDS2 is extraordinarily flexible,
allowing you to develop many different solutions to meet a
wide range of customer needs. Use it to build a robust
general-purpose server with sufficient power to perform a
multitude of tasks in a small business. It is also a great
foundation for a dedicated database server for a corporate
workgroup. Use it to build a rack-optimized web server or a
powerful Network Attached Storage (NAS) server capable of
supporting up to ten 1"Ultra160 SCSI hard drives (when
combined with the Intel
®
Server Chassis SC5100). The
Server Board SDS2provides the headroomto be successful
in many different applications. It can also be combined with
a variety of third-party server chassis to meet an even wider
range of e-Business needs.
