※SATA M.2 interface: The transmission rate of the SATA M.2 (NGFF M.2) interface is the same as that of the SATA 3.0 6Gbps interface, and it still uses the SATA channel and supports the AHCI protocol. But the SATA M.2 hard disk is smaller in size, with a more fixed interface and a larger capacity ratio. (Note: Not compatible with NVME M.2 SSD)

※Notice: The SATA 3.0 interface and M.2 interface in this ddr3 motherboard are incompatible. If you need to use a SATA M.2 hard drive, then the two SATA 3.0 ports will not be available. If you want to use the SATA 3.0 interface, the M.2 interface will not be available. If you need to use the SATA 3.0 interface, you need to pull out the 4 black small parts on the right end of the M.2 slot and insert them into the right slot. If you need to use the M.2 slots, you don't need to move them.

※High-speed PCIE channel: PCIe 2.0 protocol standard, X16 channel bandwidth can reach 8GB/s. Meet the daily work and entertainment needs of players.

※High performance interface: Support Gigabit Ethernet interface, compatible with VGA+HDMI dual output high-definition display interface. Realtek ALC662 audio chip, 4-channel sound card, brings you a different ultimate experience.

The package includes: 1*SATA cable, 1*I/O baffle, 1*motherboard. All the information of this product can be found in the description and pictures. Manuals are not included in the package and can be downloaded from this page if needed. If you don't know where to download the driver, it is recommended to use the win 10 system, which can help you solve all driver problems.

Tips: Before purchasing this computer motherboards, make sure you can install it yourself. After the motherboard is installed normally, if there is no display, no boot, no picture, no network card, no sound card, etc. It is recommended that the customer restore the factory settings, reset the CMOS or wipe the metal contact on the memory, CPU and graphics card (the part that contacts with the motherboard) with an eraser to improve the situation such as poor contact.

Tip: The CPUs of the Intel Xeon E3 V3 series are server CPUs, and most of them do not have integrated graphics. Generally, only the CPU models with the suffix "5" have integrated graphics. For example: E3-1245 v3, E3-1275 v3, E3-1285 v3, E3-1275L v3, E3-1225 v3 and other CPUs support integrated graphics. While Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 series processors almost all support integrated display, only the CPU model with the suffix "F" letter has no integrated display function, which is "ix-xxxxF".
