About This Motherboard
The Supermicro X13DGU supports dual 4th/5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
(Socket E LGA 4677) with four UPIs (20GT/s max.) and a thermal design power (TDP) of up
to 350W. Built with the Intel C741 chipset, the X13DGU supports up to 8TB 3DS RDIMM/
RDIMM DDR5 ECC memory with speeds up to 5600MT/s (1DPC) or 4400MT/s (2DPC) in 32
DIMM slots (Note below). This motherboard features superior I/O expandability and flexibility,
including eight PCIe 5.0 slots for add-on cards, two PCIe 5.0 advanced I/O modules (AIOM) for
OCP 3.0 compliant cards, eight SATA 3.0 ports, and a dedicated BMC LAN/VGA connector. It
also offers the most advanced data protection capability that provides TPM (Trusted Platform
Module) and hardware RoT (Root of Trust) support. The X13DGU is optimized for future PCIe
specifications with flexible I/O, networking, storage, and GPU support. It is ideal for use in
general purpose servers with HPC (High Performance Computing), Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and Deep Learning applications. Please note that this motherboard is intended to be installed
and serviced by professional technicians only. For processor/memory updates, please refer

Note: Memory speed support depends on the processors used in the system. The
4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors support DDR5 memory with speeds up to
4800MT/s (or up to 4400MT/s in 32 DIMM configruation). The 5th Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable processors support DDR5 memory with speeds up to 5600MT/s (or up to
4400MT/s in 32 DIMM configruation).
