Socket AM2 PGA-940 workstation motherboard
The Supermicro H8SMi-2 is a workstation motherboard built around the NVIDIA MCP55 Pro chipset and a single Socket AM2 PGA-940 processor socket. It supports Opteron dual-core and quad-core processors with up to 8 GB of DDR2 memory across four slots at speeds of 800 MHz, 667 MHz or 533 MHz. Onboard ATI ES1000 graphics and dual Gigabit Ethernet provide baseline video and network connectivity.
Builders maintaining Socket AM2 Opteron systems
This board suits technicians repairing or upgrading existing Socket AM2 Opteron workstations that require DDR2 memory, Serial ATA/300, Ultra ATA/133 and RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 5 or JBOD. Multi-GPU SLI support is available for period-correct configurations. Buyers needing newer processor sockets, higher memory capacities, or contemporary memory standards should look elsewhere.
Single Socket AM2 PGA-940 processor limit
The motherboard accommodates exactly one processor in the Socket AM2 PGA-940 interface, restricting the system to a single Opteron dual-core or quad-core CPU. This hard constraint defines the maximum compute density achievable on the platform.

Questions about this item
Will the H8SMi-2 fit a standard ATX case and what power connectors does it need?
The board uses the ATX form factor and requires a 24-pin ATX power connector plus a 4-pin CPU power connector from the PSU.
What is the correct order to install the Opteron processor, DDR2 memory and NVIDIA MCP55 Pro chipset drivers?
Seat the Opteron in the Socket AM2 PGA-940 socket, lock the lever, populate the four DDR2 slots, then install the MCP55 Pro chipset drivers before any RAID or graphics drivers.
Which components on the H8SMi-2 are most likely to need replacement after several years of operation?
The onboard ATI ES1000 graphics chipset, the floppy controller and the CMOS battery are the parts most likely to require replacement over time.
