1-4 Chipset Overview
The H8SML-7/i(F) serverboard is based on the one AMD SR5650 and one SP5100
chipsets. These chipset functions as a Media and Communications Processors
(MCP). Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into AMD Opteron
processors.
AMD SR5650/SP5100 Chipsets
The SR5650 and SP5100 chips are each a single-chip, high-performance
HyperTransport peripheral controller. It includes a 22-lane PCI Express interface,
an AMD Opteron 16-bit Hyper Transport interface link, a six-port Serial ATA interface
and a seven-port USB 2.0 interface. This hub connects directly to the CPU.
