Server Board Features Hardware Requirements To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the requirements outlined below. For a list of qualified components see the links under "Additional Information and Software." Processor A minimum of one 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512KB cache support is required. For a complete list of supported processors, see the links under "Additional Information and Software." Memory A minimum of one 128 MB Unbuffered, ECC or non-ECC, DDR266-, DDR333- or DDR400compliant, 184-pin DIMMs. All memory components and DIMMs used with the server board SE7210TP1-E must comply with the DDR specifications. For best performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs must be installed and the DIMMs must be populated as follows: ƒ DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first ƒ DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 2A if four DIMMs are to be used ƒ When four DIMMs are installed, the system will use dual-channel interleave. For single- channel memory, a single DIMM can be installed in socket DIMM 1A. For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under "Additional Information and Software." ✏ NOTES Although the server board architecture allows the user to mix various sizes of DIMMs between channels, DIMMs must be identical within each bank. To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency. For ECC functionality, all installed DIMMs must be ECC. If both ECC and non-ECC DIMMs are used, ECC will be disabled and will not function. Power Supply A minimum of 450 Watts is required. Your supply must provide a minimum of 1.2 A of 5 V standby current or the board will not boot. Intel Server Board SE7210TP1-E User Guide 17

Hardware Requirements
To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the
requirements outlined below. For a list of qualified components see the links under “
Additional
Information and Software
.”
Processor
A minimum of one 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512KB cache support is required.
For a
complete list of supported processors, see the links under “
Additional Information and Software
.”
Memory
A minimum of one 128 MB Unbuffered, ECC or non-ECC, DDR266-, DDR333- or DDR400-
compliant, 184-pin DIMMs.
All memory components and DIMMs used with the server board SE7210TP1-E must comply with
the DDR specifications.
For best performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs must be
installed and the DIMMs must be populated as follows:
DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first
DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 2A if
four DIMMs are to be used
When four DIMMs are installed, the system will use dual-channel interleave.
For single-
channel memory, a single DIMM can be installed in socket DIMM 1A.
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under “
Additional Information and
Software
.”
NOTES
Although the server board architecture allows the user to mix various sizes of
DIMMs between channels, DIMMs must be identical within each bank.
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory
specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the
SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings
for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will
attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and
reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
For ECC functionality, all installed DIMMs must be ECC. If both ECC and
non-ECC DIMMs are used, ECC will be disabled and will not function.
Power Supply
A minimum of 450 Watts is required. Your supply must provide a minimum of 1.2 A of 5 V standby
current or the board will not boot.
