Intel 7300 Server Board for Xeon 7200/7300

This Supermicro X7QC3 motherboard uses the Intel 7300 chipset and Socket 604 to support dual-core Xeon 7200 series or quad-core Xeon 7300 series processors at a 1066 MHz bus speed. It provides ATA-100, Serial ATA-300 and Serial Attached SCSI interfaces for storage connectivity. The board is supplied new without accessories.

Suits legacy Xeon 7200/7300 upgrades.

The platform targets administrators maintaining or repairing systems built around Socket 604 Xeon 7200 or 7300 series CPUs. It will not accept processors that require a different socket, chipset or bus protocol. Buyers needing support for newer Xeon families, different form factors or integrated accessories should consider other hardware.

Socket 604 and Intel 7300 chipset define

The single specification that decides fitment is the Socket 604 interface paired with the Intel 7300 chipset, which together dictate the exact Xeon 7200 or 7300 series processors that can be installed. The 1066 MHz front-side bus speed is fixed by this combination. Verify the exact processor model against this socket and chipset before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1066 MHz front-side bus and 32 MB firmware chip add to a chassis running all day?

The board uses a 1066 MHz bus and a 32 MB firmware component; both draw power at 1.8 V and 3.3 V rails, so sustained operation will add heat proportional to the load placed on the Dual-Core Xeon 7200 or Quad-Core Xeon 7300 processors you install.

What power supply output must already be present in the rack for the 208-230 V AC input?

The board lists an output voltage range of 208 - 230 V AC, so the rack or cabinet must already provide a compatible high-line AC source before the motherboard can be powered.

Will the 16-inch by 14.3-inch E-ATX form factor fit in the same 4U chassis that held my older Socket 604 boards?

The board measures 16 in wide by 14.3 in deep, matching the standard E-ATX footprint used by earlier Socket 604 server boards, so it will align with the same mounting holes and I/O shield cut-outs in a typical 4U chassis.
