Supermicro X7DA3+ Guida Utente

This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and knowledge-

able PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of the 

 

X7DA3+ motherboard. The 

 X7DA3+ supports dual Intel Quad-Core and 

Dual-Core processors with a front side bus speed of 1.333 GHz/1.066 GHz/667 

MHz. With two 64-bit Quad-Core and Dual-Core processors built-in, the X7DA3+ 

offers substantial functionality enhancements to the motherboards based on the 

Intel Quad-Core/Dual-Core architecture while remaining compatible with the IA-32 

software. The features include the Intel Virtualization Technology, Hyper Pipelined 

Technology, Execution Trace Cache, Thermal Monitor 1/2 (TM1/TM2),  Enhanced 

Intel SpeedStep technology, Advanced Dynamic Execution, Advanced Transfer 

Cache, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) and  Extended Memory 64 Technol-

ogy (EM64T). These features allow the motherboard to operate at much higher 

speeds with better power management in much safer thermal environments than the 

traditional motherboards. The X7DA3+ is ideal for high performance quad processor 

or dual processor workstation and enterprise server environments. Refer to our web
