Intel BB5500HCVR S5500HCV Socket LGA1366 5500 SSI EEB Motherboard

Product Description

The Intel BB5500HCVR is a high-performance server motherboard built on the SSI EEB form factor, designed to accommodate dual Intel Xeon processors. Utilizing the Intel 5500 chipset, this board is engineered to deliver substantial computing power and scalability for demanding enterprise applications. The dual LGA1366 sockets support Intel Xeon 5500 series processors, enabling configurations with high core counts and significant processing throughput, ideal for virtualization, high-performance computing (HPC), and complex database operations. Memory support is robust, featuring multiple DDR3 ECC Registered DIMM slots. ECC memory ensures data integrity by detecting and correcting memory errors, which is critical for server uptime and reliability. The registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) help reduce electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for higher memory capacities and improved stability in dense configurations. This setup is crucial for environments running memory-intensive workloads. Expansion capabilities are extensive, with numerous PCIe slots providing connectivity for high-speed network adapters, storage controllers, and other peripheral devices. The board typically includes a comprehensive set of SATA ports for storage devices and often integrates management features, such as IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface), allowing for remote monitoring, control, and maintenance of the server. The SSI EEB form factor ensures compatibility with larger server chassis designed for dual-processor systems.
