How We Test Compatibility
We test motherboard and chassis combinations for mechanical and thermal compatibility, so you can save time when designing barebones (L6) solutions.
GOLD TIER
Mechanically &
Thermally Compatible
Reduce the time and expense of server development and management by selecting a chassis and motherboard that have already passed our rigorous testing standards.
For chassis and motherboards in this tier, we can support the following:
• I/O shields
• Riser cards for 1U and 2U models
• Upgrade to L6 barebones level
