Dual-Socket Server Motherboard

The Supermicro X5DLR-8G2 is a server motherboard built around a Broadcom chipset for Socket PGA-604 processors. It supports up to two CPUs and includes six memory slots for DDR SDRAM modules. Onboard Gigabit Ethernet and ATI Rage XL graphics provide basic network and video connectivity. The board also integrates Ultra320 SCSI and Ultra ATA/100 storage controllers.

Expansion and Memory Constraints

This board suits technicians maintaining legacy dual-processor servers that require DDR266 or PC1600 memory. It is not for builders who need modern memory standards, higher memory capacity than 12 GB, or contemporary expansion interfaces such as PCIe. The single expansion slot limits additional controller cards, and the two USB 2.0 ports restrict peripheral connectivity.

Socket PGA-604 Compatibility

The processor socket is the deciding specification: this motherboard only accepts CPUs that fit Socket PGA-604. Verify that your intended processors match this exact socket type before purchase, as no other socket is supported.
