Product Features
Technical Overview
This server integrates the Intel C266 chipset to support the Xeon E-2456 processor's 12 MB cache and hexa-core architecture. Memory operates at 4.80 GHz with ECC error checking and unregistered signal processing for data integrity. The storage subsystem includes a Serial ATA/600 controller with Intel VROC for RAID capabilities across the available drive bays.
Connectivity features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for network redundancy and seven USB ports, including one USB 2.0 port. Expansion is facilitated through four PCIe slots (x4, x16, x4, x4), and basic graphics are handled by an integrated G200 controller with 16 MB of dedicated memory.
