Overview

Thank you for choosing this high performance Server motherboard. The dual AMD® Opteron

micro-Socket 940 motherboard (M/B) based on the SSI form factor and is conﬁgured with

the AMD® HyperTransport I/O Hub 8111 and PCI-X Tunnel 8131 chipsets. The board

features a Hyper Transport speed of 1600 MTs (MegaTransfers per second).

For memory options, there are eight sockets in a four + four conﬁguration to support up to 16

GB of memory using Registered PC3200/PC2700/2100 ECC DDR memory modules.

Flexibility and expandability are provided by two 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slots, two PCI 64-

bit/66MHz PCI slots, and two 32-bit/33Mhz PCI slots. This selection of PCI slots permits

the use of numerous add-on cards and Peer PCI transaction support provides increased

system performance.

Other features include onboard Silicon Image Serial ATA RAID interfaces, dual Broadcom

Gigabit Ethernet controllers, and an onboard ATI® RageXL video controller with 8MB

memory to provide high system capabilities that meet a wide range of demanding Sever

applications.
