When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the
power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are
connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing
system before you add a device.
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard,
ensure that all power cables are unplugged.
Seek professional assistance before using an adpater or extension cord.
These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

(FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. The processor incorporates the Intel
®
Hyper-Threading Technology, the Intel

features hyper-pipelined technology, and Extended Memory 64-bit
Technology (EM64T). The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit operation

6300ESB I/O
controller hub (ICH) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR400 memory, and CSA
interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O controller hub that
provides the interface for PCI-X 1.0a and other interfaces.
Dual-channel memory supportDual-channel memory support
Dual-channel memory supportDual-channel memory support
Dual-channel memory support
Employing the dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the motherboard
provides a solution that doubles the system memory bandwidth to boost
system performance. The motherboard supports up to 4 GB of system
memory using PC3200/PC2700 ECC or non-ECC DDR DIMMs to deliver up to
6.4 GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and
Internet applications. See page 2-16 for details.

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces controlled by the Intel
®
6300ESB and the Adaptec AIC-
8130 PCI-X SATA-II controller (on SATA models only). The SATA
specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count,
reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate for
6300ESB and 300 MB/s for AIC-8130. See page 2-28 to 2-29 for details.

2-28 for details.
For SATA models, the Adaptec AIC-8130 PCI-X SATA-II (300 Mbps)
controller supports four additional SATA connectors, and allows RAID 0,
RAID 1, and RAID 0+1 configuration. See page 2-29 for details.

The Intel

PRO/1000 CT Network Connection allows full-duplex Gigabit
performance on LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications through the
Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA). Instead of connecting to the
PCI bus, the controller connects to the dedicated CSA bus on the Memory
Controller Hub (MCH) thus reducing the PCI bottlenecks by freeing the PCI
bus for other I/O operations.
The Intel
®
PRO/1000 MT Network Connection is also onboard to support
32-bit LAN through the PCI bus. See page 2-26 for details.

The Adaptec AIC-8130 PCI-X SATA-II controller also supports an optional
Zero-Channel RAID card on the 64-bit PCI-X slot to create a RAID solution,
including RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 0+1, and RAID 5. The
ZCR capability provides a cost-effective, high-performance RAID sets.
