DellDell PowerEdge R810 Technical Guide 82 1BNew Technologies2.1 20BOverviewThe R810 uses a number of new technologies Intel 7500 chipset Intel processor 6500 and 7500 series Dell patent-pending FlexMem Bridge Internal Dual SD module2.2 21BDetailed Information2.2.1 101BIntel 7500 ChipsetThe 7500 chipset is designed to support Intel® Xeon® processor 6500 and 7500 series 4S family, Intel®QPI Interconnect, DDR3 memory technology, and PCI Express Generation 2 (PCIe 2). The 7500 chipsetconsists of the IOH QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), Intel® 7500 Scalable Memory Buffer, and the ICH10South Bridge.2.2.2 102BIntel Xeon Processor 6500 and 7500 SeriesThe processor features up to eight-core processing to with maximize performance (expected up to3.8x performance improvements) and performance/watt and significant energy efficiencyimprovements for data center infrastructures and highly dense deployments. Additionally, the IntelXeon processor 6500 and 7500 series features the Intel® 64 Architecture for flexibility in 64-bit and32-bit applications and operating systems.2.2.3 103BDell FlexMem BridgeThe PowerEdge R810 also introduces a new, Dell patent-pending, technology which will allowflexibility in processor and memory scalability—FlexMem Bridge. The FlexMem Bridge allows the fullamount of addressable DIMMs on 4-Socket systems with Intel Xeon processor 7500 and 6500 series tobe accessed, even when only 2 of the processors are in place, in a completely passive solution (noactive components).2.2.4 104BInternal Dual SD ModuleThe PowerEdge R810 also offers a second internal USB port dedicated for embedded Hypervisor forvirtualization operating systems like Citrix® and VMware® through a dual SD-to-USB daughter cardcalled an Internal Dual SD Module. The IDSM port is located behind the control panel. The SD FlashCards contains a bootable OS image for virtualized platforms. IDSM consists of up to two SD cardsthat are mirrored when set in the redundant mode for the higher availability.
