Intel S2600IP motherboard Dual LGA 2011 16 DDR3 slots 512GB 10 SATA

Dual-socket server board

The Intel S2600IP is a dual LGA 2011 motherboard built for dual Xeon E5-2600 series processors. It provides sixteen DDR3 slots supporting up to 512GB of ECC memory at 1600 or 1333 speeds. Ten SATA ports and dual 1GbE LAN ports handle storage and networking. Integrated graphics supply basic video output. The custom form factor measures 14.2 by 15 inches.

Sustained multi-core throughput

Each socket accepts a processor with a maximum TDP of 150W, allowing the board to deliver continuous performance under heavy multi-threaded workloads. The sixteen memory channels feed both CPUs simultaneously, reducing bottlenecks during extended compute tasks. Dual gigabit Ethernet maintains steady network throughput for clustered or storage-heavy operations. The design targets environments where uptime and data integrity matter more than peak burst speed.

SATA and memory interface limits

Ten SATA connections cap internal drive expansion at that number without additional controllers. DDR3 technology tops out at 1600 MT/s, setting a hard ceiling on memory bandwidth regardless of CPU capability. The 512GB memory limit is fixed by the chipset and slot count. Dual 10/100/1000Mbps LAN restricts network traffic to one gigabit per port. Buyers needing faster storage interfaces, higher memory speeds or more than ten drives must look elsewhere.
