- Which CPUs does the X7DVL-L support?
- It takes two Intel Xeon 5000 or 5100 series processors in LGA771 sockets. Later Xeon 5200 and 5400 chips are not supported.
- What memory does it use?
- Four DDR2 DIMM slots, with ECC registered or unbuffered modules depending on the board revision. DDR2 is no longer made, so source modules carefully.
- Will it fit a standard ATX case?
- No. It uses a proprietary Supermicro form factor and is meant for the Supermicro chassis it shipped in. Check mounting holes and I/O shield before buying.
- Does it have onboard video and networking?
- Yes. It has integrated ATI ES1000 graphics and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, so no add-in card is needed for basic setup.
- Is it worth buying over a newer server board?
- Only as a drop-in replacement for an existing Supermicro system. For a new build, a used LGA1366 or LGA2011 board gives DDR3, SATA 3 and far better performance per watt.
- What is in the box?
- Typically the board alone, without CPU, heatsinks, memory, I/O shield or cables. Confirm contents with the seller before ordering.
