ASUS P8B-C/4L ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1155 Intel C202 DDR3 1600/1333/1066

Up-to-Date LGA 1155 Socket Platform for Outstanding Performance

P8B-C series supports wide-range CPUs to cover different levels of market segment including Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 processor family, Intel® Core™ i3-2100 Processor Family, and Intel® Core™ G8x0/G6x0 Processor Family. The new platform architecture uses the LGA 1155 package with memory and integrated PCI Express controllers to support dual-channel DDR3 ECC memory and 20 PCI Express 2.0 lanes. The support of ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory improves data integrity to offer higher reliability. Provision of more PCI Express 2.0 lanes benefits various server applications. Most important, the motherboard provides significant performance improvement of around 25% over previous generations.

UEFI BIOS Support

To meet the trend of large capacity hard disk drives, P8B-C series equips UEFI BIOS. The UEFI BIOS supports the latest GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition formats and is backward compatible with legacy MBR (Master Boot Record) partition formats, so you can easily manage very large capacity hard disk drives or partitions - for example, a single hard disk or single partition larger than 2.2TB.

Designed to Support Legacy PCI Device Applications

With new technology rolling in to PCI express technology, many applications still require PCI applications. Because of that, the P8B-C/4L provides up to five PCI expansion slots to meet various customer requirements. Customers can move their existing legacy PCI add-on cards to P8B-C/4L, as well as benefit from up-to-date Intel Core i CPUs and DDR3 memory technology without new PCI express cards investment.

Quad Intel Server Class GbE, IPv6 Support Ready

Loaded with an Intel server-class GbE controller, the P8B-C/4L is the best candidate for an Ethernet appliance application. To handle an explosion of internet traffic, the P8B-C/4L is equipped with Intel® GbE LAN controllers with IPv6 support and is backward compatible with IPv4 protocol. With IPv6 support, customers can implement new systems and seamlessly work with existing Ethernet environments. The teaming function not only doubles the bandwidth compared to most dual LAN servers but supports Fault Tolerance technology. Also, the Load Balance handles network traffic delicately - which is great for enhancing network functionality.

Wide Range OS Support

The P8B-C series supports wide-range mainstream server and client OS, including Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, Cent OS, redhat, SuSE Linux, and more, to meet the demands of today's customers.
