X79 Xeon E5 2689 Server Motherboard

This server motherboard pairs an Intel Xeon E5 2689 processor with four 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz ECC REG modules for a total of 32 GB. It targets builders assembling a dual-socket LGA 2011 workstation or entry-level server on a budget.

Installation notes and common issues

The board uses a standard ATX layout measuring 282 by 220 mm and weighs about 1.5 kg with packaging. The south bridge chipset is shipped at random from a list that includes C204, C206, X79, C602, B75, P75, Q75 and H77, so feature consistency cannot be guaranteed.

Pre-purchase checks

Verify that your chassis accepts an ATX board of the stated dimensions and that your power supply provides the required EPS connectors for dual Xeon CPUs. Confirm your operating system can utilise registered ECC DDR3 memory and that you do not need integrated graphics, as none are present. Buyers who need a fixed chipset or integrated video should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Xeon E5 2689 and the 32GB DDR3 ECC REG memory are running correctly after assembly?

Enter the BIOS on first boot and verify the processor is detected as a Xeon E5 2689 with eight cores and that all four memory slots show 8GB modules at 1600MHz 12800R.

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

The combo supplies the HUANANZHI X79 motherboard, one Xeon E5 2689 CPU and four 8GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC REG sticks. You still need a chassis, power supply, storage drives and a discrete graphics card.

Which memory capacity version should I choose for this board?

The board accepts up to four 32GB DDR3 modules; the included kit provides 32GB total via four 8GB sticks, leaving room to expand to 128GB if your workload demands it.
