The Tyan S5530  motherboard is one of the higher-end motherboards that we see released. For example, the Tyan S5530 has dual 10GbE SFP+ ports supporting the wider adoption of 10GbE in datacenters. Along with the dual 10GbE ports, the Tyan S5530 supports 4x DDR3 ECC UDIMMs, a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot, and 2x GbE ports. For storage the motherboard supports 2x SATA III 6.0gbps ports and 4x SATA II 3.0gbps ports.
