Built upon the functionality and the capabilities of the Intel E5-2600(v2) Series
Processors (Socket R LGA 2011) and the PCH-C606/C602 chipset, the X9DRW-
3F/X9DRW-iF motherboard provides the performance and feature sets required
for dual_processor-based, high-performance WIO platforms.
With support of Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) Technology, the X9DRW-3F/
X9DRW-iF motherboard offers point-to-point serial interconnect interface with a
transfer speed of up to 8.0 GT/s, providing superb system performance.
The PCH C606/C602 chipset provides extensive IO support, including the follow-
ing functions and capabilities:
•PCI-Express Rev. 2.0 support
•PCI-Express Gen. 3 uplink supported by some SKUs
•ACPI Power Management Logic Support Rev. 3.0b or Rev. 4.0
•USB host interface backplane and front access support
•Intel Rapid Storage Technology supported
•Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) supported
•Intel Trusted Execution Technology supported
•Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Supported
•Digital Media Interface (DMI) supported
•Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supported
Note: For Intel E5-2600(v2) processor support, BIOS version 3.0 or
above is required.
