HP 4DS2P-3 System Board (Motherboard) for ProLiant 6500/6400

Product Description

This HP system board, identified by the SKU 4DS2P-3, is a core component engineered for the HP ProLiant 6500 and 6400 server families. These servers are typically deployed in enterprise environments where high availability, scalability, and robust performance are critical requirements. The motherboard acts as the central nervous system, connecting the processors, memory modules, storage controllers, network interfaces, and expansion cards that constitute the server's functionality. The design of the 4DS2P-3 prioritizes reliability and the capacity to handle demanding workloads. It likely supports dual or quad processor configurations, depending on the specific ProLiant model it's installed in, along with a significant number of DIMM slots to accommodate large amounts of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. This is essential for running virtualized environments, large databases, and complex enterprise applications that require substantial memory resources. Furthermore, this system board is equipped with the necessary interfaces for enterprise-grade storage solutions, potentially including integrated RAID controllers or support for advanced RAID add-in cards. High-speed networking ports, such as Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet, are also standard, along with management interfaces like iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) for remote server administration. The overall architecture is built for continuous operation and ease of maintenance within a data center environment.
