    The Supermicro SuperServer 6011D is a high-end dual processor, 1U rackmount server that features some of the most advanced technology currently available. The SuperServer 6011D is comprised of two main sub- systems: the SC810 1U rackmount chassis and the P3TDDR dual 370-pin Pentium III FCPGA processor mainboard.
