- Does this board come with a CPU?
- Yes. The AMD EPYC 3151 is soldered onto the board as an SoC, so you do not buy or install a separate processor. It has 4 cores and 8 threads.
- What memory does it take?
- It uses DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs at 1.2V. Unbuffered or non-ECC desktop memory is not the intended fit.
- How many drives can I connect?
- There are four SATA3 6 Gbps ports and one PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot. That covers four hard drives or SSDs plus a fast NVMe boot drive.
- Can I add a graphics card or expansion card?
- There is one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. It is typically used for a RAID or network card rather than a GPU, since the board is aimed at headless server use.
- Is it good for a firewall or router build?
- Yes. The four RJ45 Gigabit ports and low-power SoC suit pfSense, OPNsense or router duties in a small case, though the ports are Gigabit only.
- How does it compare with a Xeon D board?
- It offers a similar embedded-server approach with four NICs and ECC support, but the fixed 4-core EPYC 3151 and Gigabit-only networking keep it to lighter workloads.
