Dual-socket server board for Xeon E5-2400

This Dell PowerEdge R520 motherboard uses the Intel C600 chipset and provides two processor sockets for Intel Xeon E5-2400 family CPUs. It is built in a 2U rack form factor and carries part numbers DFFT5 and 0DFFT5. The board targets administrators refreshing or repairing a compatible Dell PowerEdge R520 chassis.

Verify chassis and memory before ordering

Confirm that your existing system is a Dell PowerEdge R520 so the 2U rack board aligns with mounting points and front-panel headers. The board offers twelve DDR3 SDRAM slots with a maximum supported memory of 16 GB. Ensure you have DDR3 modules available, as no other memory generation fits the slots.

Passive cooling relies on chassis airflow

The motherboard has no integrated fans and depends on the server chassis to move air across the chipset and voltage regulators. In a correctly populated 2U rack with ducted fans, component temperatures remain stable under typical server workloads. Acoustic output is determined by the chassis fans rather than the board itself. Power draw scales with the installed Xeon processors and populated memory slots.

Questions about this item

What comes with the motherboard and what must I source separately?

The board includes the Intel C600 chipset, two processor sockets, twelve DDR3 slots, two USB ports, two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one serial port and one VGA port. CPUs, DDR3 memory modules and any expansion cards are not included.

Which memory capacity should I select for the twelve DDR3 slots?

The motherboard supports a maximum of 16 GB total across all twelve slots, so choose DDR3 modules that keep the combined capacity at or below that limit.

What does the 16 GB maximum mean once the board is installed in a PowerEdge R520?

It caps the total system memory at 16 GB regardless of how many of the twelve DDR3 slots you populate, limiting the memory available to the dual Xeon E5-2400 processors.
