BC246C motherboard is equipped with LGA 1151 CPU socket enabling scalable CPU performance powered by Intel® Xeon E, Core™-i, Pentium® and Celeron® processors, codenamed Coffee Lake. When using the Intel® Xeon E or compatible processors, the motherboard provides Error-Correcting Code (ECC) support.
The Intel® Xeon E processor family is a server-class processor. It provides ECC memory function that helps to detect and repair single-bit memory errors and to perform in always-on usage scenarios. Faster memory speeds and larger memory capacities can increase the possibility of system memory errors which can lead to data corruption or cause a system crash. Data changing (corrupted data) in memory can impact every aspect of the business computing systems.
The BC246C motherboard is designed for OEMs and System Integrators that require Intel® Xeon E processor performance and ECC memory support but also require the extended lifecycle and strict revision control such as healthcare, simulation, or enterprise applications.
