Supermicro MBD-X7DAL-E Socket LGA771 Intel 5000X ATX Motherboard

Product Description

The Supermicro MBD-X7DAL-E is a high-performance ATX motherboard designed to support dual Intel Xeon processors in the LGA771 socket. This dual-processor capability, combined with the Intel 5000X chipset, provides a powerful foundation for demanding server and workstation applications that require significant computational power and memory bandwidth. The motherboard is engineered for reliability and scalability, making it suitable for mission-critical environments. Memory support is a key feature, with eight DDR2 ECC Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) slots that can accommodate up to 64GB of RAM. This ample memory capacity is essential for memory-intensive tasks such as virtualization, large database operations, and complex scientific simulations. The ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory ensures data integrity and system stability by detecting and correcting memory errors, which is crucial for server uptime. Expansion options are plentiful, including multiple PCI-Express slots (x16 and x8) for high-bandwidth peripherals like graphics cards or RAID controllers, as well as legacy PCI-X slots for compatibility with older hardware. Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers provide robust network connectivity out-of-the-box. The ATX form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard server and workstation chassis, offering flexibility in system integration.
