The ASRock Rack C246 WSI Mini-ITX Server Motherboard is designed for compact server and workstation builds requiring Intel Xeon E-2100 series processor support. This mini-ITX form factor board integrates an Intel C246 chipset, providing a stable foundation for professional applications. It features two DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting up to 32GB ECC UDIMM memory per slot (with future BIOS update for 32GB), suitable for environments where data integrity is critical. Storage options include one OCuLink port, four SATA3 6Gb/s ports, and an M.2 slot supporting PCIe Gen3 x4 or SATA signals. Network connectivity is handled by dual Intel Gigabit LAN controllers. The C246 WSI is a practical solution for small-footprint servers, embedded systems, or specialized workstations that benefit from Xeon E-series processing and ECC memory.
This motherboard supports Intel Xeon E-2100 Processors with a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 95W.
It supports Dual Channel DDR4 2133/2400/2666 ECC UDIMM memory. Non-ECC UDIMMs are supported for client OS only. Each of the two DIMM slots can accommodate 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB modules, with 32GB support requiring a BIOS update.
The motherboard includes one OCuLink port, four SATA3 6Gb/s ports, and one M.2 slot (NGFF 2242) which supports either PCIe Gen3 x4 link or SATA signal. Note that SATA 1 will be disabled if the M.2 slot uses a SATA signal.
Yes, it utilizes the CPU's integrated graphics (pGFX) for display output, offering HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort connections on the rear panel.
