processor server platform optimized for the 1U and 2U rackmount markets. Utilizing the latest AMD Opteron™ 200 series processors, the Thunder K8SR (S2881) is a powerful server platform with a comprehensive
feature set and low profile components to promote maximum airflow and controlled temperature inside a variety of chassis.
The features of the Thunder K8SR (S2881) include eight DIMM slots for up to 16GB of
Registered DDR400 memory, two independent PCI-X buses, Dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, onboard ATI® RAGE™ XL graphics, four Serial ATA ports with RAID 0, 1, or 10 support, and more.
