Supermicro MBD-X10DAL-i Motherboard

The Supermicro MBD-X10DAL-i is a server-grade ATX motherboard engineered for high-performance workstations and dual-socket server platforms. Based on the LGA 2011 socket, it supports Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors with a maximum TDP of 160 W per CPU, delivering strong multi-core compute density for demanding workloads.

With eight DIMM slots, the board supports up to 1 TB of ECC memory using 3DS LRDIMM modules or high-capacity ECC RDIMM DDR4-2400. This configuration is optimized for memory-intensive applications where capacity, bandwidth and data integrity are critical.

• CPU support: Dual LGA 2011 sockets for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 (no processor included; max TDP 160 W)
• Form factor: Standard ATX, enabling deployment in a wide range of workstation and server chassis
• Memory subsystem: 8 DIMM slots, up to 1 TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or ECC RDIMM DDR4-2400 for enhanced reliability and stability
• Expansion: 2 × PCI-E 3.0 x16, 1 × PCI-E 3.0 x8 (in x16 slot), 1 × PCI-E 3.0 x4 (in x8 slot), 1 × PCI-E 2.0 x4 (in x8 slot) for GPUs, RAID controllers, high-speed NICs and other add-in cards
• Storage and NVMe: No onboard M.2 NVMe slots, allowing integrators to select dedicated PCIe storage controllers or add-in NVMe solutions as required
• Networking: 2 × RJ-45 1 Gb/s ports for redundant or aggregated network connectivity
• USB connectivity: 6 × USB 3.0 (4 rear + 2 optional), 3 × USB 2.0 (2 optional + 1 Type-A) to support a broad set of peripherals and service tools
• Audio: Integrated 7.1 HD Audio for workstation or lab environments where multichannel sound output is required
• Reliability: 36-month manufacturer warranty for long-term deployment in professional environments

This platform is suitable for technical users building dual-CPU workstations, virtualization hosts, or compute nodes that require extensive PCIe expansion and high ECC memory capacity. The absence of onboard M.2 NVMe connectors encourages the use of dedicated PCIe storage controllers, which can be advantageous in controlled, modular server designs.
