Intel Server Board S5500HCV S5500HCVR ユーザーズマニュアル

The architecture and design of the Intel

®

 Server Boards S5520HC and S5500HCV is based on 

the Intel

®

 5520 / 5500 and ICH10R chipset. The chipset is designed for systems based on the 

Intel

®

 Xeon

®

 Processor 5500 Series in an FC-LGA 1366 Socket B package with Intel

®

 

QuickPath Interconnect (Intel

®

 QPI) speed at 6.40 GT/s, 5.86 GT/s, and 4.80 GT/s.  

The chipset contains two main components:  

– 

Intel

®

 5520 I/O Hub or 5500 I/O Hub, which provides a connection point between 

various I/O components and the Intel

®

 QuickPath Interconnect (Intel

®

 QPI) based 

processors 

– 

Intel

®

 ICH10 RAID (ICH10R) I/O controller hub for the I/O subsystem 

 
This chapter provides a high-level description of the functionality associated with each chipset 
component and the architectural blocks that make up the server boards.
