Supermicro X7DBN-B 用户手册
Preface
Introduction
This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use of the
X7DBN motherboard. The
X7DBN supports dual Intel
Xeon 64-bit
Quad-Core/Dual-Core processors at a front side bus speed of 1333/1066/667 MHz.
With dual Xeon 64-bit Quad-Core/Dual-Core processors, the 5000P Chipset, and
eight DDR2 FBD 667/533 memory modules built-in, the X7DBN offers substantial
functionality and performance enhancements to the motherboards based on the
Core microarchitecture while remaining compatible with the 32-bit based software.
Key features supported include Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, Virtualization
Technology, Hyper Pipelined Technology, Execution Trace Cache, Thermal Monitor
1/2 (TM1/TM2), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology, Advanced Dynamic Ex-
ecution, Advanced Transfer Cache, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) and

1/2 (TM1/TM2), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology, Advanced Dynamic Ex-
ecution, Advanced Transfer Cache, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) and
Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). These features allow the motherboard
to operate at much higher speeds with better power management in much safer
environments than the traditional motherboards. The X7DBN is ideal for high per-
formance dual processor (DP) enterprise server/workstation environments. This
product is intended to be professionally installed.
