Intel BSA2VBB S5000VSA Socket LGA771 5000V SSI EEB Motherboard

Product Description

The Intel BSA2VBB is an SSI EEB server motherboard designed to support dual Intel Xeon processors using the LGA771 socket. It is built upon the Intel 5000V chipset, offering a solid foundation for server applications that require dual-processor capabilities, reliability, and expandability. This board is well-suited for various server roles, including those in small to medium-sized businesses or departmental servers. This motherboard features eight DDR2 FB-DIMM slots, capable of accommodating up to 64GB of ECC memory. DDR2 FB-DIMMs were standard for server platforms of this generation, providing the necessary bandwidth and stability for dual-processor configurations. The inclusion of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory is crucial for server environments, as it helps to maintain data integrity by detecting and correcting memory errors, thereby enhancing system reliability and uptime. For connectivity and expansion, the BSA2VBB provides a combination of PCI-X and PCI-Express slots, allowing for the addition of various peripherals such as RAID controllers, network interface cards, or other specialized hardware. It includes SATA 3Gb/s ports for storage connectivity and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for network access. Integrated IPMI 2.0 support enables remote server management, a vital capability for IT administrators overseeing server infrastructure. The SSI EEB form factor ensures compatibility with standard server chassis.
