The following figure shows the typical system board block diagram. Figure 1-1 System board block diagram NOTE: The x1, x4, and x16 designators describe the mechanical length of the slot. The number in parentheses lists the number of electrical PCIe lanes routed to the expansion slot. For example, x16(4) means that the expansion slot is mechanically a x16 length connector, with four PCIe lanes connected. Processor technology This workstation uses the latest 32nm process SKT-H2 chipset, with support for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 Family or 2nd generation Intel Core(TM) processors up to 95W. These processors incorporate an integrated 2-channel memory controller, microarchitecture improvements, integrated graphics (some models) and Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to increase floating point performance. In addition, the chipset uses the Intel DMIx4 interface to connect the processor and I/O controller. Memory technology The workstation dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) are based on DDR3 1066/1333MHz technology. Error checking and correcting (ECC) and non-ECC DIMMs are supported. Two direct-attach memory channels permit low latency access and fast data transfer to improve performance. System memory sizes up to 32GB (using 8GB DIMMs) are supported. NOTE: To optimize performance, distribute the DIMMs across both memory channels. See Memory on page 83 for more information. 2 Chapter 1 Product overview ENWW
