1 Description
Server Board Features
The SCB2 is available in either SCSI or ATA hard drive interface versions as described inTable.
1. The features listed inTable 2 are common to both server board versions.
Table 1. Server BoardVersions
Feature Description
SCSI Dual channel Ultra160 LVD SCSI accessible at rear panel I/O and internally
ATA Dual channel ATA 100 RAID
✏NOTE
The feature set listed inTable 2 only reflects usage with either the 1U Intel®SR1200 or the
2U Intel®SR2200 server chassis. Third-party or OEM chassis may not provide all of the
features listed below.
Table 2. Server Board Features
Feature Description
Processors Dual processor slots supporting Intel®Pentium®III processors in a Socket370 Flip
Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA) package.
Memory Six dual inline memory module (DIMM) slots support:
• SDRAM DIMMs: 133 MHz, ECC, registered, PC/133 compliant, 72 Bit,
168-pin, gold contact, 3.3V. A 1U chassis requires low-profile (LP)
1.2-inch DIMMs.
• Up to 6 GB of memory in a 2U chassis.
Graphics Integrated onboard ATI RAGE®XL PCI 64 Bit SVGA controller.
Video Memory 8 MB SDRAM of video memory
PCI bus Two PCI riser slots capable of supporting either of the following configurations:
• 1U configuration – one full-length, full-height 64 Bit/66-MHz PCI riser slot
and one Low Profile (LP) 64 Bit/66-MHz PCI riser slot.
• 2U configuration – three full-length, full-height 64 Bit/66-MHz PCI riser
slots and three LP 64 Bit/66-MHz PCI riser slots.
Network Dual on-board 10/100 Network Interface Controllers (NIC)
System I/O
(SeeTable 1) • One PS/2®keyboard/mouse port (6 pin DIN)
• One VGA video port (15 pin)
• Two external USB ports, internal header providing two additional USB
• One external serial port (RJ-45), one internal COM 1 header
• One external SCSI port (SCSI server board only), one internal
• Two NIC ports (RJ-45)
Form Factor Server ATX form factor

Processor
The SCB2 accommodatesoneortwoIntel®Pentium®III processorswith512kcache inthe FC
PGA2 package. This processor uses the .13 micron technology and offers advanced
performance.The processor external interface operates at a maximum of 133 MHz. For a
complete list of supported processors see:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/scb2
Memory
The system board contains six 168-pin DIMM slots each supporting 72 Bit ECC (64-bit main
memory plus ECC) registered SDRAM DIMMs (PC-133 compatible). Memory is two-way
interleaved and partitioned in three banks.You may install a minimum of 128 MB (64 MB x 2)
and as much as 6 GB.
The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on
the type, size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to
the server via configuration registers.
✏NOTE
Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board. Contact your
sales representative or dealer for a current list of approved memory modules. Check the
Intel®Customer Support website for the latest tested memory list:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/scb2
PCI Riser Slots
The server board has two PCI riser slots, each capable of supporting 64 Bit/66-MHz PCI riser
cards. PCI features:
• Bus speed up to 66 MHz
• 32 Bit memory addressing
• 5V/3.3V signaling environment
• Burst transfers of up to 512 Mbps
• 8, 16, 32, or 64 Bit data transfers
• Plug and Play ready
• Parity enabled
