PROCESSOR
Quad-Core Intel Xeon C5500 Processors, .73GHz -2.53GHz* Processor Package: LGA1366 *Dual-core processor options available and higher speed processors as available

The DDR3 integrated memory controllers of the Intel® Xeon® EC5500 series processors provide a five-fold speed increase in system memory processing compared to previous generation processors. The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) between CPUs enables resource sharing for additional processing speed increases. Other processor features are:

• Extended-life, embedded components provide longevity
• Improved CPU thermal design saves power
  Quad-core micro-architecture with Intel® Hyper-Threading doubles core processing capability (EC5549)
• Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x2 & VT-d2)
• Integral PCI Express Gen 1.1 and Gen 2.0 links

PLATFORM CONTROLLER HUB (PCH)
The Intel® 3420 is a Platform Controller Hub or PCH that takes the place of the traditional multi-component chipset. The PCH design approach saves power while providing enhanced system host board I/O, PCI Express and Ethernet interface capabilities.

VIDEO
Chassis Plans’ JXT6966 SHB features a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) driven with a x1 PCIe link from the PCH of the board. The GPU has 8MB of on-board video memory to support pixel resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) with a 64K color depth.

PCI EXPRESS GEN 2.0 & GEN 1.1 INTERFACES
Chassis Plans’ JXT6966 SHB supports PICMG 1.3 server or graphics-class systems with either a x16 or two x8 PCI Express® links on a PICMG 1.3 backplane. An additional x4 PCIe link and eight PCIe reference clocks are also supplied on edge connectors A & B of the SHB. Chassis Plans’ optional IOB33 and PEX10 modules can be used on the board to provide additional x1 and x16 PCIe links to a backplane. The Chassis Plans JXT6966 automatically configures all of its PCIe links to operate as either PCIe Gen 2.0 or PCIe Gen 1.1 interfaces based on the type of PCI Express endpoints such as option cards, PCIe switches and bridge chips. The PCI Express auto-negotiation feature is fully supported on the SHB and enabling x1, x4, x8 and x16 PCI Express cards.

DDR3-1333 MEMORY INTERFACE
The DDR3-1333 memory interface is a six-channel interface with three channels on each Intel® Xeon® EC5500 Series Processor. The SHBs use ECC registered, PC3-8500 or PC3­10600 DDR3 Mini-DIMMs. A maximum memory capacity of 24GB is supported when using 4GB Mini-DIMMs. The peak memory interface bandwidth per channel is 32GB/s when using the PC3-10600 Mini-DIMMs. SHB population rules and other interface details are available in the downloads area of the JXT6966 product detail web page.

THREE ETHERNET INTERFACES 10/100/1000BASE-T
The JXT6966 SHB supports two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the board’s I/O bracket. A third Gigabit Ethernet interface is routed to edge connector C of the SHB for use on PICMG 1.3 backplanes.

PCI EXPRESS CONFIGURATION AND INTEL QPI SPEEDS
PCI Express - Edge Connectors A & B - One x16 or two            x8 links, plus one x4 link, Eight reference clocks
PCI Express - (IOB33/PCIe Expansion) - One x4 link
PCI Express - (PEX10/PCIe Expansion) - One x16 link
PCI Express (on-board only) - Four x1 links
Intel® Quick Path Interconnect - 4.4GT/s or 5.8GT/s*
*Processor choice determines speed

BOARD STIFFENER BARS
The two stiffener bars located on the back of the JXT6966 maximize system integrity by ensuring proper SHB alignment within the card guides of the computer chassis. The stiffeners provide reliable SHB operation by protecting sensitive board components from mechanical damage and assist in the safe insertion and removal of the SHB from the system.

SERIAL ATA/300 PORTS
An integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller in the Intel 3420 provides six SATA ports with data transfer rates up to 300MB/s. Independent SATA drive operation and RAID drive array configurations are supported on the SHB. SATA drives reduce power consumption while simplifying system wiring.

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS INTERFACES (USB 2.0)
There are eight USB 2.0 interfaces on the JXT6866 SHB. USB ports 0 and 1 are located on the I/O bracket, on-board headers contain ports 2 and 3, and USB ports 4, 5, 6 and 7 are routed to the SHB’s edge connector C for use on backplanes that support the optional PICMG 1.3 USB interface capability.

BIOS (FLASH)
The JXT6966 board uses the Aptio 4.x BIOS from American Megatrends, Inc (AMI). The board’s BIOS resides in the SHB’s SPI Flash device to simplify field upgrades and BIOS customization.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT FEATURES
I/O Features:

• Optional I/O and PCIe expansion board provides:
       - x1 PCIe link routing to backplane PCIe
       - Expansion Slot -Enhanced bi-directional           parallel interface
        -PS/2 mouse and keyboard interface (mini DIN           connector)
        -Floppy drive interface and two high-speed           serial ports
• Optional PCIe Gen 2.0 expansion board has a x16 PCIe edge connector that routes additional PCI Express links from the rear connector on the JXT6966 SHB down to a backplane. This enables expanded x4, x8 and x16 system interface capabilities beyond the PICMG 1.3 specification.
