Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This Quanta Computer Inc. S38 project motherboard, dated March 21, 2006, is a dual-processor server platform built around the Socket F Dual Core Opteron architecture. The system employs a ServerWorks HT2000 and HT1000 chipset for core logic, with memory support for DDR2-533(667) across four channels (A, B, C, D) and twelve DIMM slots. Graphics and management are handled by an AST2000 BMC, while the EC/KBC function is provided by an NS87427 SIO. The board integrates a BCM5875 for audio, LAN, USB, and WiFi functions, alongside a dedicated LSI 1068 SAS RAID controller. Additional networking is supported by an RTL8201 PHY. The BIOS is stored on a dedicated BIOS Flash IC, and the charging/power architecture is managed by BCM5785 and BCM5780 controllers. A hardware monitor is present for thermal sensing.
