E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM

High-Density Micro-ATX Server Motherboard featuring Intel C256 and multi-rate networking with the E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM

The E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM is a Micro-ATX server motherboard built on the Intel C256 platform for single-socket LGA1200 Intel Xeon E processors, targeting edge compute and compact server chassis where predictable thermals and I/O density matter. Its dual-channel DDR4 architecture supports ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs across 4 DIMM slots, enabling resilient memory configurations for small VM hosts and branch consolidation.

For expansion, the E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM provides PCIe 4.0 connectivity via one x16 slot and an additional PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, aligning with accelerator, NIC, or high-throughput HBA requirements without oversubscribing the platform. Storage is optimized for SATA-heavy builds with 8 SATA ports plus a SATA DOM header, complemented by dual M.2 M-Key sockets (PCIe 3.0 x4, with one supporting SATA) to separate OS, cache, and application tiers. Integrated IPMI/BMC management with ASPEED AST2500 and TPM support enable secure remote operations for unattended sites.

Why Choose the E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM?

The E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM is engineered to deliver a strong density-to-performance ratio by combining Xeon E compute, ECC-capable memory, and high port-count storage in a compact board footprint. With 2x 10GbE (Broadcom BCM57416) plus 2x 1GbE (Intel I210), it scales cleanly from single-node edge deployments to standardized multi-site rollouts while maintaining enterprise manageability through out-of-band control.

ASRock designs platforms like the E3C256D4U-2L2T/BCM around serviceability, validated controller selections, and data-centre-aligned interfaces, supporting reliable operation under 24/7 duty cycles and streamlined integration into existing monitoring and provisioning workflows.

Key Applications:

SMB and edge virtualization hosts
Firewall, VPN, and routing appliances
IDS/IPS and security gateways
SATA-dense NAS and backup nodes
Remote-managed branch servers
