to address the diverse needs of next-generation data server platforms.
With support of new Intel Microarchitecture 22nm (E5-2600v3)/14nm (E5-2600v4)
Process Technology, the X10DRC/i-LN4+/-T4+ dramatically increases system per-
formance for a multitude of server applications.
The PCH C612 chip provides Enterprise SMbus and MCTP support, including the
following features:
• DDR4 288-pin memory support on Socket R3
• Support for MCTP Protocol and ME
• Support of SMBus speeds of up to 1 MHz for BMC connectivity

• SPI Enhancements
• Intel® Node Manager 3.0 support (See Note below.)
• BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package
for enterprise platforms
Notes:
1. E5-2600v4 requires Revision 2.0 BIOS (or higher).
2. E5-2600v3 is fully backward-compatible with all BIOS revisions.
3. Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in
the system.
