MSI D1505GB2N-25G-HE uATX Motherboard, Single socket, LGA1700, Intel® Xeon® E-2400, C266 PCH.

The MSI D1505GB2N-25G-HE is a compact uATX server motherboard for single-socket Intel Xeon E-2400 builds, combining two 25GbE SFP28 ports with IPMI and DMTF Redfish management for server and infrastructure deployments.

Recommended For

• Small businesses and home labs building a private-cloud, web-hosting, or edge server that benefits from dual 25GbE networking and remote management over IPMI or Redfish.
• Organizations running object-storage or backup servers that need multiple SATA or NVMe drive connections in a compact micro-ATX build.
• IT teams or system builders who want server-oriented remote administration and can use ECC UDIMM memory with a compatible supported processor.
• CAD or video-workstation builders who need a server-platform board with a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and plan to use one primary expansion card.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• For a small office or home lab running shared services, such as file sharing, email, or internal web apps, this board can serve as the base for a compact single-processor server; actual capacity depends on the chosen processor, memory, and storage.
• For a backup or object-storage server, a builder can configure SATA and NVMe storage for local data; transfers over the onboard 25GbE ports can benefit from a compatible SFP28 network and storage path.
• For a private-cloud or web-hosting node, the board provides a server-oriented platform for running services on a single system; the practical number of users and workloads will depend on the selected Xeon processor, memory, and software.
• For a server installed in a closet, branch office, or other location without a nearby operator, an administrator can use the dedicated management connection and IPMI features to monitor and manage the system remotely.
• For edge computing at a small site, the board can host local services near the devices or users that need them, while its 25GbE ports can connect to compatible high-speed network equipment; the outcome depends on the application and network setup.
• For a small CAD workstation, a builder can pair the platform with a compatible graphics card and suitable processor; performance in design software will depend on those selected components and the workload.
