Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F Mini-ITX Motherboard, Intel Xeon D-1521, 2x 10GbE SFP+, IPMI

The Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F is a high-performance Mini-ITX motherboard powered by an integrated Intel Xeon D-1521 processor (4 cores, 8 threads, 2.4 GHz base, 2.7 GHz turbo). Designed for embedded and server applications, it offers dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, dedicated IPMI management, and support for up to 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory. This compact board delivers enterprise-grade reliability and connectivity in a small form factor.

Advantages

Integrated Intel Xeon D-1521 SoC eliminates the need for a separate CPU, reducing power consumption and thermal output. Dual 10GbE SFP+ ports provide high-speed networking for data-intensive environments. IPMI 2.0 with KVM over IP enables remote management and monitoring. The Mini-ITX form factor fits into space-constrained enclosures while still offering six SATA3 ports and an M.2 slot for storage flexibility.
