Supermicro MBD-X11SSH-F-O Socket LGA1151 Intel C236 mATX Motherboard

Product Description

The Supermicro MBD-X11SSH-F-O is a Micro ATX motherboard tailored for building reliable and cost-effective entry-level servers and workstations. It utilizes the Intel C236 chipset and features the LGA1151 socket, making it compatible with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 and v6 series processors. These processors provide a solid foundation for single-socket server configurations, offering sufficient performance for a wide range of business applications, including file serving, web hosting, small business databases, and general-purpose workstations. The mATX form factor allows for deployment in smaller chassis, offering flexibility in system design. This motherboard supports DDR4 ECC Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) memory, which provides error detection and correction capabilities crucial for server stability and data integrity. It typically offers multiple PCIe 3.0 expansion slots, allowing for the addition of graphics cards, network adapters, storage controllers, or other peripheral devices to customize the system's capabilities. Onboard storage connectivity is provided through SATA 3.0 ports, supporting traditional hard drives and SSDs, while dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports ensure reliable network connectivity. As is standard with Supermicro server-grade motherboards, the MBD-X11SSH-F-O includes integrated IPMI 2.0 (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) with KVM over IP support. This allows for remote monitoring, management, and control of the server, even when the operating system is not running or the system is powered off. This feature is invaluable for IT administrators managing remote servers or requiring out-of-band management capabilities. The combination of processor support, memory capacity, expansion options, and remote management makes this motherboard a practical choice for budget-conscious server and workstation builds.
