Is the max TDP in a multiprocessor motherboard TOTAL or for EACH processor?

Supermicro's X10DAL-i motherboard, for example, has two sockets. The spec page states it'll accept two CPUs: "Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4†/ v3 family (up to 160W TDP **)".

That "up to 160W TDP" at the end—does that mean up to 160W, or combined? It sounds silly to ask, because I don't think too many e5-2600 family processors run at 80W or below, but I want to be cautious so I don't end up wasting time, money, and effort on a build.
 
Solution
That's each, because while E5-26xx v4 processors are rated 50w to 300w, it's really telling you the top processor it can use is the 160w E5-2687W v4, and not the 200w Xeon E5-2679 v4 or 300w E5-2699P v4
