Dell T5610 Motherboard

[William_27]

Will a Dell T5610 Dual Socket LGA 2011 Motherboard fit in a Dell T5500 case?
And if not, what case do you recommend and where might I be able to acquire your recommended case?

William_27,

Having looked at Ebahhh photos of the T5500, T5610, T7600, T7610 motherboards and cases, it's doesn't appear likely that the T5610 motherboard would be an easy plug in to anything but a T5600 or T5610 case. With any of them except the T5610 case, it would be possible to create mounting points that align the PCIe slots but the I/O panels are in a different location, so that area of the back panel would probably have to be cut out.

This is based on estimation of the relative position of the back panel components, but the best solution would be to watch Ebahhh for a T5610 empty case. There are often Dell Precision "barebones" systems but those usually include the motherboard. However, there is occasionally this kind of listing:

DELL PRECISION T7600 WORKSTATION EMPTY CASE WITH INTERNAL FANS 5H95K 5WW6D-A01 > $199

> which is the case and proprietary fans.

If you measure the T5610 motherboard, you could see if it corresponds to a a conventional form factor- ATX E-ATX and whether you might be able to buy a conventional case, but the I/O panel on the extension appears to a special design and the T7610 board is larger due to having 16 RAM slots instead of 8.

Sorry, I couldn't say anything exactly, except to see if a T5610 case listing appears similar to the T7600 in the link

Thank You! I ended up finding a T7600 case in storage and with a little modification it will work.
