Gigabyte Intel Xeon WS MW51-HP0 CEB Workstation Motherboard

Product Overview Intel® Xeon® W Processors Support: Engineered For Your Enterprise
GIGABYTE brings Intel’s Skylake architecture to the SOHO segment with a new offering: the ‘Basin Falls’ single-socket platform for workstations. This new build offers a wealth of I/O options, including multiple PCIe lanes to support graphics, and other add-on card options, as well as direct SATA and USB ports. GIGABYTE’s precision engineering enables you to fulfil your workstation workload needs with ease.

CPU Key Features
• Up to 18 Compute cores.
• 4 Memory channels.
• 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes (+ 16 from PCH).
• SATA and PCIe HDD Storage options.

Intel’s Skylake-W (Basin Falls) platform brings increases in compute, I/O and memory compared to the previous generation. This functionality, with multiple USB and SATA connections from the chipset, allows for:

• I/O Options:
- 20% more PCIe lanes gen-on-gen.
- Extra 16 PCIe lanes from the PCH.
- Supports USB and SATA connectors.
• Memory
- 11% more bandwidth vs. previous generation.
- 4 channels – maximum 2666MT/s at 1DPC or 2DPC.
• Compute
- 1S: up to 18 cores; Intel HS Hyper-threading; per core power management.

Dense Storage/USB Design
GIGABYTE’s engineers have maximized the storage and external connection scope of this board with 10 SATA ports and 8 USB ports.

SATA Ports
• 8x SATA from the chipset.
• 2x ‘GSATA’ via the on-board Marvell 9172 SATA controller (from PCIe).

USB Sockets
• 8x USB 3.0.
• 2x USB 3.1 – one Type ‘A’ and one Type ‘C’.

U.2 Connectors
• Mini-SAS HD type.
• PCIe Gen3 x4 (NVMe) connection offering 32Gb/s for high-speed boot.

Add-On Modules

On-Board M.2
GIGABYTE’s MW51-HP0 platforms are designed to support on-board ‘M.2’ storage devices for time-sensitive operations and leaves room on the standard storage for compute tasks.

Delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speeds through a PCIe connection, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA devices.

Compliant with four different M.2 form factors by supporting NGFF-2242/2260/2280/22110 cards.

TPM 2.0 Header
