Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Before you installing a system with this motherboard, make sure your major system parts meet the
following basic guidelines and requirements:
Central Processor Unit (CPU) Considerations
● Process Type and Package
D2568 supports Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5200 Series as well as Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processors 5400 Series in FC-LGA6 package for LGA771 socket.
● Front Side Bus (FSB)
The processor host bus, or called Front Side Bus (FSB), auto-operates at 1333 MHz. Choose
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5200 Series or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors
5400 Series with 1333 MHz FSB for D2568.
● Single/Dual Processor System
D2568 board supports one or two Dual-Core or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors.
Single Processor System:
When only install a single processor on D2568, the processor must be installed in the CPU0
socket.
Dual Processor System:
D2568 supports dual processor configurations only in which both processors operate with the
same FSB frequency, core frequency, and have the same internal cache sizes. Mixing
processors operating at different FSB frequency, core frequency, or cache sizes may cause
system non-operation or damages on processors and/or the motherboard.
Memory Considerations
● Memory Type
D2568 supports up to eight 240-pin 1.8-Volt DDR2-667 ECC FB-DIMM modules.
● Memory Installation
D2568 is based on Intel®’s 5400 Seaburg chipset, which supports 144-bit wide quad memory
channels in memory interleaved scheme. System requires minimum one memory to boot up
the system.
