1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of Intel E5-2600(v2) Series Proces-
sors (Socket R LGA 2011) and the C602 chipset, the X9DRG-HF/X9DRG-HTF
motherboard provides the performance and feature sets required for dual_proces-
sor-based 1U or 2U GPU server platforms. (See note below for processor support.)
With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X9DRG-HF/
X9DRG-HTF offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with a transfer
speed of up to 8.0 GT/s, providing superb system performance.
The PCH chipset provides extensive IO support, including the following functions
and capabilities:
•PCI-Express Rev. 2.0 support
•PCI-Express Gen. 3 uplink supported by some SKUs
•ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 3.0b or Rev. 4.0
•USB host interface backplane and front access support
•Intel Rapid Storage Technology supported
•Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) supported
•Intel Trusted Execution Technology supported
•Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Supported
•Digital Media Interface (DMI) supported
•Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supported
Note: For Intel E5-2600(v2) processor support, BIOS version 3.0 or
above is required.
