Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and the capability of the E7320 (Lindenhurst-

VS) chipset, the X6DVL-EG2 motherboard provides the performance and

feature set required for dual processor-based servers, with configuration

options optimized for communications, presentation, storage, computation or

database applications. The Intel E7320 (Lindenhurst-VS) chipset consists

of the following components: the E7320 (Lindenhurst-VS) Memory Control-

ler Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB ICH).

The E7320 (Lindenhurst-VS) MCH supports single or dual Xeon EM64T (No-

cona) processors with Front Side Bus speeds of up to 800 MHz(*Note). Its

memory controller provides direct connection to two channels of registered

DDR2 400 with a marched system bus address and data bandwidths of up

to 6.4GB/s. The E7320 (Lindenhurst-VS) also supports the new PCI Ex-

press high speed serial I/O interface for superior I/O bandwidth. The MCH

provides configurable x8 PCI Express interfaces which may alternatively be

configured as two independent x4 PCI Express interfaces. These interfaces

support connection of the MCH to a variety of other bridges that are com-

pliant with the PCI Express Interface Specification, Rev. 1.0a. The MCH

interfaces with the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB ICH) via Hub

Interface.

6300 ESB (Hance Rapids) ICH System Features

In addition to providing the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the

system, the Hance Rapids ICH I/O Controller Hub integrates many I/O

functions.

The Hance Rapids ICH I/O Controller Hub integrates: 2-channel Ultra ATA/

100 Bus Master IDE Controller, two Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controllers,

SMBus 2.0 Controller, LPC/Flash BIOS Interface, PCI (66MHz) Interface, PCI

2.2 Interface and System Management Controller.

(*Notes: The CPU FSB speed is set at 800 MHz by the Manufacturer. Please

do not change the CPU FSB setting.)
