Value Champion for Storage and Hosting Applications
With 10 high speed SATA ports, this model is an affordable solution to build entry-level systems relying mainly on high storage capacity. SMB storage, NAS, file server, web hosting, the possibilities are large for this high feature, high value motherboard.
Intel Xeon Processor E3-1200 V3 Product Family
Still based on the 22nm tri-gate lithography, this new generation of Xeon processors is built on Intel's latest microarchitecture and brings up to 15% computing power improvements and increased L3 cache across the line.
In addition, this new generation will also bring to the Xeon E3 family the support of 1600MHz ECC memory, Intel Trusted Execution and Virtualization technologies, as well as AVX 2.0 and TSX instructions.
Last but not least, the Xeon E3-1200 V3 processors will include the latest Intel integrated graphics, which will bring the support of OGL3.2+, DirectX 11.1, and higher frequencies.
Quad Gigabit LAN Controller
With the 3rd iteration of the Intel Xeon processors E3-1200 family also came a new generation of dual gigabit LAN controllers. Equipped with Intel I210 controllers, this board is now capable of advanced features such as error correction packet buffers, enhanced management and generally improved transfer performance as well as reduced power consumption.
Support of PCIe Generation 3.0
With the support of the latest PCI Express Gen.3.0 technology directly on the CPU, the GA-6LXSG is fully configured to provide users with dramatically reduced latency and improved data bandwidth to get the most out of its expansion accessories.
Red Hat Certified Hardware
GIGABYTE certifies its server hardware with Red Hat Enterprise Linux to provide its customers with the confidence of knowing that their hardware systems are supported by Red Hat when they run Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
