Dual LGA 771 server board
The Intel S5000XVNSASR is a dual-socket server motherboard built on the Intel 5000X chipset for LGA 771 processors. It targets administrators upgrading or repairing legacy rackmount and pedestal systems that require SSI EEB 3.6 form-factor compatibility. The board delivers eight DDR2 slots and integrated gigabit LAN for straightforward deployment in existing infrastructure.
DDR2 memory and PCI Express limits
Memory capacity tops out at 32 GB across eight 240-pin DDR2 slots, restricting the platform to older registered DIMM densities. Expansion relies on one PCI Express x16 slot and two PCI Express x4 slots, while storage connectivity is limited to two SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports and a single ATA 100 interface for legacy drives.
Capacity ceiling and legacy I/O
The 32 GB ceiling suits lighter virtualisation or file-serving workloads but leaves no headroom for memory-intensive databases or modern container densities. Four USB 2.0 ports and dual gigabit Ethernet cover basic peripheral and network needs, yet the absence of faster storage interfaces and higher lane-count expansion slots constrains I/O throughput for demanding applications.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the eight-slot DDR2 version or a smaller capacity?
The board provides eight 240-pin DDR2 slots and supports up to 32 GB total, so choose this version when you need the full slot count and maximum memory ceiling.
What does the 32 GB memory limit mean for a running server?
You can install up to 32 GB of DDR2 across the eight slots, giving the system that total addressable memory for workloads.
How fast are the onboard SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports in practice?
The two SATA ports run at 3.0 Gb/s, setting the maximum signalling speed for each attached drive.
