1-2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E5-2600v3 series processors
(Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10DRS-2U/3U/4U motherboard provides
the best balanced solution of performance, power eciency, and features to ad-
dress the diverse needs of next-generation storage server platforms.
With support of new Intel 22nm-microarchitecture process technology, the
X10DRS-2U/3U/4U dramatically increases system performance for a multitude of
storage applications.
The PCH C612 chip provides Enterprise SMbus and MCTP support, along with
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
• GSX capable of GPIO expansion
• Improved I/O capabilities to congurations requiring high storage capacity
• SPI enhancements
• Intel® Node Manager 3.0 support (See note below.)
• BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package
for enterprise platforms
Note: Node Manager 3.0 support depends on the power supply used in
the system.
