Up to two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5300 sequence with a 1066- or 1333-MHz front side bus. Up to two 45nm 2P Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors. Product codes S5000VSASATAR, S5000VSASASR, S5000VSASCSIR, and S5000VSA4DIMMR only. Up to two 45nm next generation Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors. Product codes S5000VSASATAR, S5000VSASASR, S5000VSASCSIR, and S5000VSA4DIMMR only. For a complete list of supported processors, see the links under "Additional Information and Software." Memory The server board provides eight DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets A1, A2, A3, and A4. Channel B consists of DIMM sockets B1, B2, B3, and B4. The entry SATA SKU provides four DIMM sockets where DIMM sockets A3, A4, B3, and B4 are depopulated. A minimum of one 512 MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket A1. DIMMs must be installed starting with the lowest number slot in a given channel. All DIMMs with the same slot number within a given branch must match (size, technology, manufacturer). It is not required to match DIMMs between different slot numbers. DIMMs must meet the following requirements: • Use only Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD) with DDR2 DRAM technology. • Use only FBD DDR2-533 and FBD DDR2-667 stacked DIMM modules. For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under "Additional Information and Software." 10 Intel® Server Board S5000VSA User's Guide
