With a full feature set of ports and connectors, this motherboard is an ideal start to build very compact home or SMB servers, or to build high density storage and hosting servers at larger scales.
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.
With the 3rd iteration of the Intel Xeon processors E3-1200 family also came a new generation of dual gigabit LAN controllers. Equipped with an Intel I210 controller, this board is now capable of advanced features such as error correction packet buffers, enhanced management with OS2BMC, MCTP, NC-SI, SMBus, and generally improved transfer performance as well as reduced power consumption.
With the support of the PCI Express Gen.3.0 technology directly on the CPU, the GA-6LISL is fully configured to provide users with dramatically reduced latency and improved data bandwidth to get the most out of its expansion accessories.
With the Aspeed AST2300 board management controller, this board offers comprehensive remote control options:
IPMI 2.0 management interface
iKVM
Native PCIe
2D Video Graphic Adapter with PCIe bus interface
