Supermicro MBD-X10DRD-L Motherboard

The Supermicro MBD-X10DRD-L is a server-grade E-ATX motherboard engineered for reliable 24/7 operation in data center and enterprise environments. It supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors in the LGA 2011 socket, enabling high-density multi-core configurations for demanding workloads.

With support for CPUs up to 145W TDP, the platform is suitable for compute-intensive applications such as virtualization, private cloud, database and analytics, provided adequate chassis cooling and power delivery are ensured.

Memory subsystem

• 8 DIMM slots for DDR4 ECC memory
• Support for up to 1TB total RAM
• Compatible with 3DS LRDIMM and RDIMM ECC modules
• DDR4-2400 MHz support for balanced bandwidth and latency

This configuration enables high memory capacity in a dual-socket system, which is critical for virtual machines, in-memory databases and other RAM-intensive services.

Expansion and connectivity

• 1x PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot for add-in cards (e.g. storage, networking or accelerator adapters)
• 2x RJ-45 1Gb/s Ethernet ports for redundant or aggregated network connectivity
• 7x USB 2.0 ports in total:
  • 4x rear USB 2.0
  • 2x optional USB 2.0 via headers (depending on chassis/front panel)
  • 1x internal USB Type-A for embedded OS, licensing dongles or security keys

The board does not provide native M.2 NVMe slots, which makes it better suited for environments using SATA/SAS backplanes, PCIe storage controllers or external storage arrays.

Platform characteristics

• Form factor: E-ATX, optimized for rackmount and tower server chassis that support enterprise motherboards
• Dual-CPU architecture for scalable performance and higher core density
• ECC memory support for increased data integrity and system stability
• 36-month manufacturer warranty for long-term deployments

By combining dual Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 support, high memory capacity and robust I/O, the Supermicro MBD-X10DRD-L is a solid foundation for virtualization hosts, application servers and infrastructure services where stability, predictable performance and manageability are key requirements.
