Product Overview of 732144-001 HP System Board
The 732144-001 System Board E5 2600 V2 (Motherboard) is a crucial component of the Proliant Dl380p G8 Server. In this article, we will provide an in-depth explanation of what the motherboard is, its importance in the functioning of a server, and how it is specifically designed to work in the Proliant Dl380p G8 Server.
A motherboard, also known as a system board or mainboard, is the primary printed circuit board (PCB) found in computers and other electronic devices. It provides the electrical connections and pathways that allow different components, such as the CPU, RAM, and storage devices, to communicate with each other.
The motherboard is responsible for managing and coordinating the flow of data between all of the different components in a computer system. It acts as the central nervous system of the computer, enabling all of the individual parts to work together in a seamless and efficient manner.
The Importance of a Motherboard in a Server
In a server environment, the motherboard is even more critical than in a typical desktop or laptop computer. A server is designed to handle large amounts of data and run applications and services around the clock. To do this effectively, it requires a motherboard that is specifically designed to handle the demands of this type of environment.
A server motherboard must be robust, reliable, and able to handle heavy workloads without fail. It must also be able to accommodate multiple processors, large amounts of memory, and high-speed networking capabilities. This is where the 732144-001 System Board E5 2600 V2 comes in.
Features of the 732144-001 System Board E5 2600 V2
The 732144-001 System Board E5 2600 V2 is a high-performance motherboard specifically designed for use in the Proliant Dl380p G8 Server. It features the following key components:
- Processor Sockets: The motherboard has two processor sockets that can accommodate Intel Xeon E5-2600 V2 series processors. This allows the server to handle heavy workloads and run multiple applications simultaneously.
- Memory: The motherboard has 24 memory slots that can support up to 768GB of DDR3 memory. This allows the server to handle large amounts of data and run memory-intensive applications with ease.
- Storage: The motherboard has eight SAS/SATA drive bays that can support both hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable drives. This allows the server to store large amounts of data and provide fast access to that data.
- Expansion Slots: The motherboard has six PCIe expansion slots, allowing for the addition of high-speed networking cards, storage controllers, and other peripherals.
- Networking: The motherboard has dual 1Gb Ethernet ports and can support optional 10Gb Ethernet networking cards.
- Management: The motherboard has an integrated Lights-Out management port that allows for remote management of the server.
