• Chipset: Intel C256
• Memory: 4x DDR4 ECC UDIMM slots, up to 128GB, speeds up to 3200MHz
• Networking: Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet via Intel X710-AT2
• Storage: 8x SATA3 (6Gbps), 1x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 (2280/22110)
• Expansion: 1x PCIe 4.0 x16, 1x PCIe 4.0 x4, 1x PCIe 4.0 x1
• Management: Dedicated IPMI LAN port with Aspeed AST2600 BMC
• Rear I/O: 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1x VGA

Why choose it

The X12STW-TF combines server-grade features with a space-saving micro-ATX design, making it ideal for compact server chassis. ECC memory support ensures data integrity, and dual 10GbE provides ample bandwidth for demanding applications. Remote management via IPMI simplifies administration, reducing downtime and on-site visits.

Ideal use cases

• Small to medium business servers for file sharing, email, or ERP
• Edge computing nodes requiring high-speed networking
• Network-attached storage (NAS) with large SATA drive arrays
• Virtualization hosts for lightweight workloads
• Security appliances such as firewalls or VPN concentrators

Good to know

This board requires a compatible LGA1200 CPU and DDR4 ECC UDIMMs (not RDIMMs). The M.2 slot supports PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs for fast boot or caching. The onboard VGA is provided by the BMC, suitable for console access. Ensure your chassis supports micro-ATX form factor and adequate cooling for 10GbE components.
