YINGHUA X99 Dual CPU Server Motherboard 2×E5-2620 V3

Dual-CPU X99 Server Board

This motherboard ships with a pair of Intel E5-2620 V3 CPUs already installed in dual LGA 2011 sockets on the Intel X99 chipset. It targets builders assembling a multi-processor server or workstation that can use up to eight DDR4 ECC modules at 2133, 2400 or 2800 speeds. The board provides six SATA 3.0 ports, one M.2 slot for PCIe-only drives and a second M.2 slot that accepts both PCIe and SATA devices.

Installation Notes and Common Pitfalls

The E5-2620 V3 processors are pre-mounted, so the main steps are seating DDR4 ECC memory in the eight slots, connecting the 100M Realtek 8106E or 8111H network port and wiring the six SATA 3.0 drives. Builders often forget that the first M.2 slot accepts PCIe drives only, while the second supports both PCIe and SATA; using the wrong drive type in the first slot will prevent detection. The board measures 290 by 280 millimetres and uses a standard black PCB layout.

Pre-Purchase Compatibility Checklist

Verify that your chassis can accommodate a 290 by 280 millimetre E-ATX form factor and that the power supply delivers the dual 8-pin or 4+4-pin CPU connectors required by the X99 platform. Confirm that any M.2 storage you plan to use matches the slot specifications: PCIe-only for the first slot and PCIe or SATA for the second. Ensure your operating system supports the integrated Realtek 100M network controller and the onboard three-in-one audio interface.
