Supermicro MBD-X9SCA-B Socket LGA1155 Intel C204 ATX Motherboard

Product Description

The Supermicro MBD-X9SCA-B is a robust ATX form factor motherboard engineered for single-processor server and workstation applications. It utilizes the Intel C204 chipset, which provides a stable and feature-rich platform for Intel's Xeon E3-1200 series processors, designed for entry-level server environments. The LGA1155 socket ensures compatibility with a range of compatible Intel CPUs, offering a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. This motherboard supports DDR3 ECC (Error-Correcting Code) unbuffered memory, crucial for maintaining data integrity and system stability in mission-critical applications. It typically features multiple DIMM slots (often four) to allow for significant memory configurations, enabling systems to handle demanding workloads. The inclusion of ECC memory is a standard requirement for server-grade hardware, protecting against data corruption. With a comprehensive set of expansion options, including various PCIe slots (such as PCIe 3.0 x16 and x8), the MBD-X9SCA-B allows for the addition of graphics cards, network adapters, storage controllers, and other peripherals. It often includes integrated graphics capabilities, making it suitable for workstations that do not require a dedicated high-performance GPU. This motherboard serves as a reliable foundation for building cost-effective, yet powerful, server or workstation solutions.
