Micro ATX Server Board for LGA 1700

This Supermicro MBD-X13SAQ-O motherboard is built on the Intel Q670E chipset and accepts a single 12th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron processor up to 125W TDP. It fits a Micro ATX footprint measuring 9.6" x 9.6" and provides four 288-pin DDR5 memory slots supporting up to 128GB total capacity.

Suits entry servers and workstations needing dense

The board offers eight SATA 6.0Gb/s ports, one M.2 slot with PCI-E 4.0 x4 for NVMe storage, and a rich rear I/O cluster including USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.0b, DVI-D and VGA. Builders who require dual-socket scaling, registered ECC memory or more than one full-length PCI-E 5.0 x16 slot should look at larger form-factor platforms.

DDR5 4000 MT/s memory ceiling decides fit

The platform guarantees DDR5 4000 operation with two single-rank DIMMs, DDR5 3600 with two dual-rank DIMMs, and DDR5 4400 only when a single module is populated. If the target workload demands sustained four-DIMM speeds above 4000 MT/s, this motherboard will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Can I reuse my older SATA SSDs and hard drives with the eight SATA 6.0Gb/s ports on this motherboard?

Yes, the eight SATA 6.0Gb/s ports are backward compatible with earlier SATA revisions, so existing SATA SSDs and hard drives will connect and function normally.

How can I verify the board is operating correctly after installation?

Power on the system and watch for the POST screen on a monitor connected to the VGA, DVI-D, DisplayPort 1.4a or HDMI 2.0b output; successful boot to the BIOS or operating system confirms basic operation.

Which components are included in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The motherboard itself is supplied; you must separately buy a compatible LGA 1700 processor, DDR5 UDIMM modules, storage drives, a Micro-ATX case, power supply and any required cables.
