E7520 MCH
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The architecture of the MCH provides the performance and feature set required for dual
processor-based volume to performance servers. Configuration options facilitate
optimization of the platform for workloads characteristic of communication,
presentation, storage, performance computation, or database applications. Coverage
includes the MCH interface units (system bus, system memory, PCI Express, Hub
Interface (HI), SMBus, power management, MCH clocking, MCH system reset and
power sequencing) as well as RASUM (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Usability,
and Manageability) features.
Features:
• Registered ECC DIMM support
• Integrated four-channel DMA engine with IOxAPIC functionality
• High speed serial PCI Express interface
• Hub interface to 6300ESB ICH
• Integrated four-channel DMA engine with IOxAPIC functionality
• High speed serial PCI Express interface
• Hub interface to 6300ESB ICH
