High-performance data transfer with embedded RAID
functionality for outstanding data protection
High bandwidth with teaming and failover capability
for demanding server environments
As the demands on general-purpose servers grow, so do the
technologies designed to meet those demands. High-clock-
speed CPUs, high-bandwidth I/O, fast-access memory, ample
and redundant storage options, and comprehensive management
tools—these are the capabilities that businesses and large
workgroups depend on to run line-of-business applications,
departmental databases, and file and messaging servers. In
recognizing the importance of such capabilities for general-
purpose servers, Intel offers the Intel
®
Server Board SE7520BD2.
The Intel Server Board SE7520BD2, based on the Intel
®
E7520
chipset, provides a powerful processing foundation in its support
for dual Intel
®
Xeon
™
processors with an 800MHz system bus.
Performance is enhanced through six independent PCI buses
supporting not only PCI and PCI-X but also next-generation
PCI Express* I/O interconnect technology. The Server Board
SE7520BD2 also provides outstanding memory performance, with
support for dual-channel DDR 266/333 SDRAM and memory sparing and mirroring. In addition, the board has two integrated Gigabit
Ethernet connections and provides options for single- or dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI, both of which include support for RAID 0 and 1.
For server management, the Intel Server Board SE7520BD2 provides an impressive set of capabilities through support for the
new Intel
®
Server Management 8 suite of software, hardware, and utilities. This technology, which includes Onboard Platform
Instrumentation and optional Intel
®
Management Module upgrades, can help businesses and workgroups to maintain high availability
while reducing support and service costs.
For high-performance and reliable storage, the Intel
®
Server Board
SE7520BD2 provides options for single- or dual-channel integrated
Ultra320 SCSI with support for RAID 0 and 1 and for modular ROMB
(RAID on motherboard) with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50.
