Server Board Features
At the heart of the SGI Rackable C2108-TY10 system is a dual processor serverboard based on
the Intel 5520 + ICH10R chipset and designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the
main features of the serverboard.
Processors
The serverboard supports single or dual Intel® Xeon® 5500 processors. The Intel® Xeon® 5200
and 5400 processors are not supported.
Memory
The serverboard has eighteen DIMM slots that can support up to 144 GB of DDR3 1333/1066/800
registered ECC SDRAM (see “Installing Memory” on page 32).
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is integrated into the ICH10R (South Bridge) portion of the chipset to
provide a six-port 3 Gb/s SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 supported. The SATA
drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: The SATA drives are hot-swappable units if your operating systems has RAID support.
PCI Expansion Slots
The dual processor serverboard has two low-profile PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots, one low-profile PCI
Express x4 slot (in a x8 slot), three low-profile 64-bit 133/100 MHz PCI-X slots and one UIO slot
(see “PCI Card Slotting” on page 46)
UIO
The serverboard is a specially-designed serverboard that features Universal I/O (UIO) technology.
UIO serverboards have a PCI-Express x8 connector that can support one of two types of UIO card
types, L8i and H8iR (low-profile only) to add SAS ports, additional LAN ports, and so on, to the
serverboard.
