Up-to-date LGA1155 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 TM i 3-2100 Processor Family, & Intel Core TM G8x 0/G6x 0 Processor Family. The new platform architecture use a LGA1155 package with memory & PCI Express controllers integrated to support dual-channel DDR3 ECC memory & 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 around 25% over previous generation. Design to Support Legacy PCI Device Applications With the technology rolling to PCI express technology, still many applications require PCI applications, P8B-C/4L provides up to 5 PCI expansion slots to meet various customer requirements. Customers can move their existing legacy PCI add-on cards to P8B-C/4L, benefit from up-to-date Intel Core i CPU & DDR3 memory technology to their solutions without new PCI express cards investment. Quad Intel Server Class Gb E, IPv 6 Support Ready Loaded with Intel server-class Gb E controller makes P8B-C/4L to be best candidate for Ethernet appliance application. With the fast explode of internet traffic, the P8B-C/4L equipped Intel Gb E LAN controllers with IPv 6 support & backward compatible with IPv 4 protocol. With IPv 6 ready support, customer can deploy new systems seamlessly work with existing Ethernet environment. With teaming function, not only doubles the bandwidth compared to most dual LAN servers but supports Fault Tolerance technology. Also, the Load Balance handles network traffics delicately which is good at enhancing network functionality. Wide Range OS Support The P8B-C series supports wide-range mainstream server & client OS, including Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, Cent OS, redhat, Su SE Linux & so on to meet the demand of different customers. UEFI BIOS support To meet the trend of large capacity hard disk drive, P8B-C series equips UEFI BIOS. The UEFI BIOS supports the latest GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition format & backward compatible with legacy MBR (Master Boot Record) partition format, users can easily & flexibly manage very large capacity hard disk drive or partition, ex: single hard disk or single partition larger than 2.2TB.
