- Which CPUs does the X10DRL-i support?
- It takes two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors on LGA 2011-3 sockets. Both sockets must be populated for full memory and PCIe support, though the board can run with one CPU.
- What memory does it need?
- It uses DDR4 registered ECC memory in eight DIMM slots, up to 512 GB. Unbuffered desktop memory will not work.
- Does it support NVMe boot?
- Not natively. The board has no M.2 slot, so NVMe boot requires a PCIe adapter and BIOS support, and SATA SSDs are the simpler choice.
- Is it worth it over a newer single-socket board?
- For a low-cost dual-Xeon build with lots of SATA storage, yes. If you need PCIe 4.0, DDR5 or native NVMe, a newer platform is the better fit.
- What form factor and power does it use?
- It is standard ATX and needs a server-style power supply with the appropriate EPS connectors. Check your chassis for standoff and airflow clearance.
- What comes in the box?
- Retail boards typically include the I/O shield, SATA cables and a quick reference guide. Used or bulk listings may ship the board only, so confirm contents before buying.
