Supermicro product name primer

[diedrichg]

Hello all. Does anyone know of a good place to learn how to understand the product names for Supermicro motherboards? I look at these motherboard names and all I see are letters, a few numbers and various lengths of lettered extensions. What do all of these letters mean? (For example) What am I comparing if I see a board with a -X-O vs one with just a -X?

If you could give a full tutorial or maybe a web site that already has this, that would be awesome!

Here's a link for the ones prior to the X10 series:

and here's a link for the X10 series:

The appended "-O" I think indicates a retail pack rather than a "bulk" pack.

Oh geez, thanks guys. Sorry, I did a search in the help section but I guess I wasn't thorough. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
