Description

Intel Xeon E processor and ECC memory Supports Memory capacity up to 64GB. Intel Xeon E processor provides enhanced performance and capability. Support for Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory, it can eliminate small data discrepancies and prevent data corruption to ensure reliability for critical applications while helping to reduce system crashes. Broad DDR4 Compatibility with Support List of 1000+ DDR4 Validated! GIGABYTE partners very closely with memory vendors from around the world to ensure that modules offered by popular memory brands are compatible with GIGABYTE Motherboards. GIGABYTE has verified over 1000+ different modules to ensure performance in a GIGABYTE built system. PCIe x16 slot Bifurcation support Breaking the limits on a Mini-ITX form factor, GIGABYTE’s C246N-WU2 expands the support for PCI-Express via a bifurcation mode. This feature allows users to take advantage of a single PCI-Express x16 slot, through the use of a riser card, and transform their PCI-Express slot into two (2) full length PCI-Express slots, each supporting x8 PCIe lanes. NVIDIA QUADRO Professional Graphics Supports NVIDIA QUADRO 3D Workstation Professional Graphics Solutions are designed and built specifically for artists, designers, and engineers, NVIDIA Quadro GPUs power more than 100 professional applications across a broad range of industries. Professionals trust them to enable their best work using applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Suites, Dassault Systemes, CATIA and SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, and many more. LARGE STORAGE CAPACITY Large storage capacity: 8 SATA3 Ports Sufficient SATA Ports for the mass storage requirement. Fast Onboard Storage with 32Gb/s M.2 GIGABYTE M.2 solution offers considerably faster storage performance and support for both PCIe and SATA interface for M.2 SSD devices. PERFORMANCE FUELED BY OPTANE The GIGABYTE C246 Platform supports Intel’s latest Optane technology. Optane fuels storage performance by acting as a cache drive giving users a significant boost compared to traditional mechanical drives. CONNECTIVITY Dual Intel Server GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Software - cFosSpeed helps to improve network latency and maintain low ping times. - Support Windows Server O/S - Support Intel vPro Technology Teaming Features - Fault Tolerance - Link Aggregation - Load Balancing USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A and Type-C The latest USB 3.1 Gen 2 offers staggering 10Gb/s transfer speeds. 2x faster than USB 3.1 Gen 1 along with backwards compatibility with existing USB devices. COMMERCIAL FEATURES Supports up to Three Monitor Displays C246N-WU2 can connect up to three displays at the same time with onboard HDMI, DisplayPort, and D-Sub connectivity. Displayport supports up to 4K UHD@60Hz. System Status Monitor Monitor status of HDDs by SGPIO ULTRA DURABLE Carefully Selected Components GIGABYTE’s passive components are meticulously selected to guarantee a super stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance.
