The Asus WS C246M Pro is a micro-ATX motherboard aimed at workstation and server usage. It is built for Intel's E-2100 family of Xeon processors, using the Intel C246 chipset. That gives it ECC memory support for increased reliability, and Asus has complimented that with dual Intel gigabit Ethernet ports, eight SATA 6Gbps, one M.2 slot, multiple USB 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 ports, and digital & analog audio connectivity. The Intel graphics built into the Xeon E3 processors is also accessible, with support for up to three monitors via VGA, HDMI, and DisplayPort outputs.
