Extended ATX Server Motherboard

The Supermicro MBD-X11SPA-TF-O is an Extended ATX server motherboard built for Intel Xeon Scalable processors. It uses the LGA 3647 socket and the Intel C621 chipset to support 1st and 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable CPUs. Twelve DDR4 288-pin slots accept up to 3TB of ECC RDIMM, LRDIMM or Intel Optane Persistent Memory. The board targets compute-intensive workloads such as AI, deep learning and simulation.

Suited for high-density storage and 10GbE networking

Builders who need eight SATA 6.0Gb/s ports and four M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4 slots with RAID 0 and 1 support will find the storage layout flexible. Dual LAN provides a 10Gbps Aquantia AQC107 port plus an Intel I210-AT Gigabit connection and a dedicated IPMI interface. Systems requiring more than seven PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots or 25GbE connectivity fall outside this feature set.

Twelve DDR4 slots with 3TB maximum capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the memory subsystem: twelve 288-pin DDR4 slots running at 2933MHz with a 3TB ceiling for 3DS ECC RDIMM, LRDIMM or Optane Persistent Memory. This density determines whether the board meets the workload’s RAM requirements.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4-2933 ECC RDIMMs work in the 12 slots of this Supermicro MBD-X11SPA-TF-O?

Yes, the board accepts up to 3TB of DDR4-2933 3DS ECC RDIMM or LRDIMM across its 12 288-pin slots, so your current modules are compatible.

How can I verify the Aquantia AQC107 10GbE port is running at 10Gbps after installation?

Check the link speed in the OS network settings or the switch port LED; the AQC107 controller reports 10Gbps when the link is negotiated correctly.

Does the box include the VROC key needed for M.2 RAID 5 or 10, or must I buy it separately?

The VROC key is not included; it must be purchased separately to enable RAID 5 or 10 on the four M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 slots.
