{"title":"Motherboards","description":"\u003cp\u003eTechSellerUSA supplies server motherboards and system boards - Supermicro, Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem and Intel server boards. New and certified refurbished, tested, for new builds, board-level repairs and end-of-life platform spares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOEM System Boards vs Standalone Motherboards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are two different purchases. An OEM system board is built for one specific server chassis and carries that manufacturer's part number, proprietary connector layout and firmware - it will only fit the model it was made for, and it is what you order when repairing an existing HPE, Dell or Lenovo server. Standalone motherboards from vendors such as Supermicro follow standard form factors and are what you use for custom builds. Ordering the wrong category is the most common mistake in this part of the catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSocket, Chipset and Generation Matching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA processor and a board must match on socket, chipset and supported generation, and physical socket compatibility alone is not sufficient - a board may accept a CPU mechanically but lack the firmware support to POST with it. The same applies to memory: DDR4 and DDR5 boards are not interchangeable, and RDIMM and LRDIMM support is board-specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBoard-Level Spares for Older Platforms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServer manufacturers stop supplying system boards long before the hardware reaches end of life in the field, which makes refurbished boards the only realistic path for keeping working systems in service.
