Dual Xeon server board with sixteen DDR4 slots

The Supermicro X10DAI is a dual-socket LGA 2011-3 motherboard built around the Intel C612 chipset. It accepts two Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors up to 160 W TDP and 22 cores each. Sixteen 288-pin DIMM slots support quad-channel DDR4-2400 memory with ECC and registered modules.

Suits builders who need two CPUs

This board targets workstation and server builds that require dual-processor throughput and up to 2 TB of LRDIMM or 1 TB of RDIMM capacity. Ten SATA3 ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 cover high-density storage arrays. Buyers who need only a single processor or fewer than sixteen memory slots should look at something else.

Sixteen DDR4 slots set the memory ceiling

The defining specification is the sixteen-slot quad-channel DDR4 layout that enables 2 TB of 3DS LRDIMM or 1 TB of RDIMM. Expansion includes three PCIe 3.0 x16, two PCIe 3.0 x8 and one PCIe 2.0 x4 slot, plus dual Gigabit LAN, 7.1 HD audio and six USB 3.0 ports.

Questions about this item

What case and power connections does the E-ATX board require to fit and mount?

The board follows the E-ATX form factor with dual LGA 2011-3 sockets, 16 DDR4 DIMM slots, 3 PCI-E 3.0 x16, 2 PCI-E 3.0 x8 and 1 PCI-E 2.0 x4 slot, plus standard 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS power headers.

How are the two Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 CPUs installed, and what step is often missed?

Install each processor into its LGA 2011-3 socket, apply thermal paste, attach a heatsink rated for up to 160 W TDP, then connect both CPU power headers; the step often missed is seating the second CPU and its power cable when only one processor is used initially.

Which components will need replacement or maintenance over the life of this X10DAI?

The CMOS battery on the board and the system-fan headers for active cooling are the primary service items; memory modules and PCIe add-in cards can be swapped as needed.
