Memory Main memory resides on an add-in board, called a memory module, designed for the SKA4 baseboard. The memory module contains slots for 16 DIMMs, each of which must be at least 64 MB, and is attached to the baseboard through a 330-pin connector, called the Memory Expansion Card Connector (MECC). The memory module supports PC-100 compliant registered ECC SDRAM memory modules. The ECC used for the memory module is capable of correcting single-bit errors (SBEs) and detecting 100 percent of

Each slot is identified by another notation. Sockets A1 through A4 are identified as J1 through J4 respectively. Sockets B1 through B4 are identified as J5 through J8. Sockets C1 through C4 are identified as J9 through J12. Sockets D1 through D4 are identified as J13 through J16. NOTE ✏ Based on the chipset, addressable memory can be extended to 16 GB. However, some server systems are not thermally configured to support all 16 GB. Consult the documentation accompanying your server system to

USB Interface The SKA4 baseboard provides a dual external USB connector for the back panel of a server system. The connector is defined by the USB Specification, Revision 1.0. Both ports function identically with the same bandwidth. The SKA4 baseboard also provides a proprietary internal USB header. Network Interface Controller (NIC) The SKA4 baseboard supports a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network subsystem based on the ® Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet Multifunction PCI/CARDBus controller. The Intel 82
