Intel
®
E7501 Chipset
The SE7501HG2 server includes the Intel E7501 chipset (MCH, ICH3-S, P64H2), which provides
an integrated I/O bridge and memory controller, and a flexible I/O subsystem core (PCI).
MCH
The E7501 MCH North Bridge (MCH) integrates three main functions:
• An integrated high performance main memory subsystem
• An HI 2.0 bus interface that provides a high-performance data flow path to the P64H2 (I/O
Bridge)
• An HI 1.5 bus that provides an interface to the ICH3-S (South Bridge)
Other features provided by the MCH include the following:
• Full support of ECC on the memory bus
• Full support of Intel
®
x4 Single Device Data Correction on the memory interface with x4
DIMMs
• Twelve deep in-order queue
• Full support of registered DDR266 ECC DIMMs

• Support for 12 GB of DDR memory
• Memory scrubbing
P64H2
The primary role of the P64H2 is to provide an integrated I/O bridge to the 64-bit PCI-X segments.
This subsystem supports two peer 64-bit PCI-X segments, each with two 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X
slots. The Adaptec
*
AIC-7902 embedded controller is enabled via one of the PCI-X segments of the
P64H2.
ICH3-S
The primary role of the ICH3-S is to provide the gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and
features. The SE7501HG2 uses the following ICH3-S features:
• 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bus interface
• Low Pin Count (LPC) bus interface
• IDE interface, with Ultra DMA 100 capability
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface
• PC-compatible timer/counter and DMA controllers
• APIC and 8259 interrupt controller
• Power management
• General purpose I/O
• System RTC
