Supporting 533MHz front side bus and a DDR266 memory interface, this newly introduced Intel® E7501 chipset features higher system and memory bus bandwidth that supports up to 4.3GB per second peak data transfer rates. This represents a 25% increase in bandwidth from what its predecessor offered, greatly improving server performance in dealing with large amounts of data, such as streaming video and database applications.
The SI-2P+ is ABIT's latest Intel® Xeon™ -based server board for performance dual-processor server systems. It is designed to support two Intel® Xeon™ processors, 12GB ECC memory and four PCI-X expansion slots, in addition with the incorporation of dual-port gigabit Ethernet LAN and a dual-channel Ultra 320 SCSI storage interface. With these advanced features, the SI-2P+ is capable of delivering optimum computing power, I/O subsystem performance and scalability for demanding business applications, Internet infrastructure and departmental database servers.
In addition, accommodating design architecture is another strength of the SI-2P+ motherboard. With the incorporation of a SO-DIMM for Adaptec zero-channel RAID cards and an Agilent Management Connector (AMC) for Agilent's IPMI compliant server management adaptors, the SI-2P+ offers a cost-effective mechanism for adding advanced reliability and manageability features to server systems. Besides the cost benefit, this design also facilitates fast implementation and quick time to market.
Built with optimal configuration for computing power, I/O performance and RAS-ready design, ABIT's SI-2P+ and SI-2Pa provide compelling value and outstanding feature sets to dual-processor server systems.
