Green server motherboard with dual Socket 604 and DDR2 slots

Supermicro

Supermicro X6DH8-G2 server motherboard Socket 604 E7520 DDR2

SKU CH-32D3-BVEN1 MPN X6DH8-G2

Supports dual Xeon processors on Socket 604 with DDR2 memory and SATA connectivity

  • Dual Xeon support via Socket 604 architecture
  • 800 MHz front-side bus maximises throughput
  • Intel E7520 chipset drives reliable server workloads
  • DDR2 SDRAM slots enable registered ECC memory
  • SATA and SCSI interfaces cover storage flexibility

Dual-Core Xeon Server Board

The Supermicro X6DH8-G2 is a server motherboard built around the Intel E7520 chipset for dual-processor configurations. It accepts Xeon CPUs in a Socket 604 package and runs DDR2 SDRAM memory. This board targets administrators maintaining or repairing legacy rackmount systems that require dual-core processing capability.

Socket 604 Processor Interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the Socket 604 interface paired with an 800 MHz front-side bus. Only Xeon processors designed for this exact socket and bus speed will function. Builders needing a different socket type, a higher bus frequency, or single-socket operation must select an alternative platform.

No Accessories Included

The unit ships as a bare motherboard without cables, brackets, manuals or software media. SATA and SCSI drive connectors are present on the board, but installation requires sourcing appropriate cables and mounting hardware separately. Administrators should verify they have spares or budget for these additional components before ordering.

Questions about this item

What does the 800 MHz bus speed mean for a real Xeon build on this board?

The 800 MHz front-side bus sets the peak data rate between each Xeon processor and the Intel E7520 chipset, so sustained memory and I/O throughput scales with that clock.

How does the Socket 604 interface limit processor choice in practice?

Socket 604 only accepts Xeon CPUs designed for that exact pin-out and electrical spec; newer Xeon families will not fit or function.

What physical clearance does the dual-processor layout need for heatsinks and chassis mounting?

Two Socket 604 sockets sit side by side, so the case must provide enough height for a pair of server heatsinks and the standard SSI-EEB mounting pattern.
