Dell MD99X Socket FCLGA1366 System Board

Product Description

The Dell MD99X System Board is a critical component designed for systems utilizing the Intel LGA1366 socket. This socket, also referred to as Socket B, was a high-performance interface for Intel's Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors, making this motherboard suitable for demanding server and workstation applications. The MD99X provides the essential infrastructure for these powerful CPUs, enabling robust computational capabilities. This system board supports DDR3 memory, offering configurations that can include ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory for enhanced data integrity and reliability, which is paramount in mission-critical environments. The expansion capabilities are typically comprehensive, featuring multiple PCI Express slots (such as x16 and x8) for graphics cards and other high-speed peripherals, alongside potential legacy PCI slots for broader hardware compatibility. This allows for significant customization and performance tuning. Storage connectivity is provided through SATA 3Gb/s ports, accommodating traditional hard drives and SSDs. Integrated networking, such as Gigabit Ethernet, and USB ports ensure essential connectivity for peripherals and network access. The Dell MD99X is engineered to be a stable and capable foundation for workstations and servers that require the performance and features associated with the LGA1366 platform.
