Key points to note on these X8DTL-3F Supermicro Motherboards:-
Built upon the functionality and the capability of the 5500 platform, the X8DTL-3/ X8DTL-i/X8DTL-3F/X8DTL-iF motherboard provides the performance and feature set required for dual-processor-based high-end systems with configuration optimized for HCP/Cluster systems and intensive applications.
The 5500 platform consists of the 5500/5600 Series (LGA 1366) processor, the IOH-24D (I/O Hub), and the ICH10R (South Bridge). With the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) controller built in, the 5500 platform is the first dual-processing platform that offers the next generation point-to-point system interconnect interface, replacing the current Front Side Bus Technology, substantially enhancing system performance with increased bandwidth and scalability.
The IOH-24D connects to each processor through an independent QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link. Each link consists of 20 pairs of unidirectional differential lanes for transmission and receiving in addition to a differential forwarded clock. A full-width QPI link pair provides 84 signals.
Each processor supports two QuickPath links, one going to the other processor and the other to the IOH-24D chip. The 5500 Platform supports PCI Express Gen2 lanes, peer-to-peer read and write transactions. The ICH10R provides up to 6 PCI-Express ports, six SATA ports and 10 USB connections.
In addition, the 5500 platform also offers a wide range of RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) features. These features include memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single Device Data Correction (SDDC), Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), parity protection, out-of-band register access via SMBus, memory mirroring, and Hot-plug support on the PCI-Express Interface.
