| The Intel® Server Platform SC5300BD2 is a pedestal optimized mainstream server based on the Intel® Server board SE7520BD2V and the Intel® Server Chassis SC5300BRP. This combination supports high-clock speed CPUs, high-bandwidth I/O, fast-access memory, 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. |
The Intel® Server Board SE7520BD2 is based on the Intel® E7520 chipset and supports dual Intel® Xeon® processors with an 800MHz system bus. It comes with six independent PCI buses featuring PCI, PCI-X and also the next-generation PCI Express* I/O interconnect technology, outstanding memory performance with support for dual-channel DDR 266/333 SDRAM with six DIMM slots, and two integrated Gigabit Ethernet connections. The server board provides support for RAID 0 and 1 and also for the new Intel® Server Management 8 suite of software, hardware, and utilities.

φ64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture (formerly known as Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology, or Intel® EM64T). Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information. See www.intel.com/technology/architecture-silicon/intel64/index.htm for more information or consult with your system vendor.
1 Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology is available on Intel® Xeon® processors with an 800MHz system bus at operating frequencies of 3.40 GHz and above.
2 DDR 333 should be in a BGA package; this is important for signal timing and margin.
3 Memory sparing and memory mirroring support may require a BIOS update.
4 Single- or dual-channel SCSI options are available depending on board model.
5 Board requires single- or dual-channel SCSI controller (Intel® RAID Controller SRCZCRX) to support modular ROMB.
