Dual LGA 4189 Server Board

The GIGABYTE MD72-HB0 is an Extended ATX server motherboard built for dual 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors in LGA 4189 sockets. It uses the Intel C621A chipset and supports CPUs with a TDP up to 270W each. The board provides sixteen 288-pin DDR4 slots running at 3200 MT/s in an eight-channel configuration per processor, with a maximum memory capacity of 4TB using registered modules.

Suits dual-socket Xeon builds.

This motherboard targets deployments that need two processors and high memory bandwidth across sixteen DIMM slots. It suits virtualisation hosts, database servers and compute clusters that can use dual-socket scaling. Builders planning a single-CPU system or a standard desktop workstation should look elsewhere, as the board requires both sockets populated for full feature operation and does not fit consumer chassis or power layouts.

Verify E-ATX clearance.

Before ordering, confirm that your chassis accepts Extended ATX dimensions and can deliver adequate airflow for two processors rated up to 270W each. The board needs registered DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules; unbuffered desktop memory will not work. Check that your power supply provides the required EPS connectors for dual-CPU operation and that your storage plan matches the two SATA 6Gb/s ports, three SlimSAS connectors and two M.2 slots wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 from CPU 0.

Questions about this item

What processors must I already own for this dual LGA 4189 board to work?

You need two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, up to 40 cores each, with a TDP up to 270W per socket.

Will my existing DDR4-3200 registered DIMMs work in the sixteen 288-pin slots?

Yes, the board runs eight-channel DDR4-3200 per processor and supports up to 4TB total using RDIMM or LRDIMM modules.

How can I confirm the dual 10 GbE ports from the Intel X710-AT2 are active after installation?

Check the OS network adapter list for two 10 Gbps links and verify the dedicated management port shows a separate 1 Gbps connection.
