1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 2026GT-TRF server is the X8DTG-QF+, a dual

processor serverboard based on the Intel 5520 chipset. Below are the main features

of the X8DTG-QF+. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X8DTG-QF+ supports two Intel Xeon processor 5600/5500 series. Please

refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of

supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X8DTG-QF+ has six DIMM slots that can support up to 96 GB of registered

ECC or or up to 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM.

Modules of the same size and speed are recommended. See Chapter 5 for details.

Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ICHR10R) section of the

chipset to provide a six-port 3/Gbs SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10

supported. The SATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-

swap capability and RAID function of the SATA drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

The X8DTG-QF+ has four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots to support four GPU cards. In

addition, there are two PCI-Express 2.0 x4 slots and two PCI-Express 2.0 x8 (one

is low-proﬁle) slots, which require the use of riser cards to support expansion cards.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port (an additional COM header is

located on the serverboard), a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, two Gb

Ethernet ports and one dedicated IPMI LAN port.

IPMI

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-

ﬁcation that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro

server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s hardware
