Intel Motherboard
The v1.0 Intel motherboard is a dual Intel Xeon® 5500 or Intel Xeon® 5600 socket motherboard with 18 DIMM slots. In addition, we have a new v2.0 specification…
We started a project at Facebook a little over a year ago with a pretty big goal: to build one of the most efficient computing infrastructures at the lowest possible cost. We decided to honor our hacker roots and challenge convention by custom designing and building our software, servers and data centers from the ground up – and then share these technologies as they evolve.
The result is a data center full of vanity free servers which is 38% more efficient and 24% less expensive to build and run than other state-of-the-art data centers.
By releasing Open Compute Project technologies as open hardware, our goal is to develop servers and data centers following the model traditionally associated with open source software projects. That’s where you come in.

The v1.0 AMD motherboard is a dual AMD Opteron® 6100 Series socket motherboard with 24 DIMM slots. Our new v2.0 design doubles the compute density, supporting two AMD…
The Open Compute Project 450W power supply is an AC/DC power converter, single voltage 12.5VDC, closed frame, self-cooled power supply used in high-efficiency applications. The power converter includes…
The Open Compute Project chassis is designed to accommodate the other components in a server, including the custom motherboard and power supply. Overall it is vanity free, has…
Open Compute servers are racked into triplets composed of three adjoining 42U columns. Each triplet has 2 top of rack switches, and each of the three columns contains 30 servers,…
The battery cabinet is a standalone independent cabinet that provides backup power at 48 volt DC nominal to a pair of triplet racks in the event of an…
One component of the Open Compute data center design is a high-efficiency electrical system. Facebook’s Prineville, Oregon, location is the first implementation of these elements in a data…
