Asus P11C-M/4L Rack-Optimized Server MB, Intel C242, 1151, Intel Xeon E, Micro ATX, Quad GB LAN, M.2, Server Management

Micro-ATX compact server board with multiple expandability options

P11C-M/4L is a server motherboard based on the Intel Xeon E platform and Intel C242 chipset offering quad server-class Intel Ethernet and flexible expandability with dual M.2, six SATA 6G, two PCIe. The 9.6” x 9.6” micro ATX form factor can be easily integrated in short-depth chassis to greatly increase rack compute density.

The layout is rack-optimized placement where the CPU and memory are placed in a parallel arrangement directly behind the fan inlet to promote maximum cooling for excellent thermal efficiency.

Dual M.2 for up to 32Gbps performance and data redundancy

P11C-M/4L comes with dual M.2 support up to 22110-length M.2 drives via PCIe or SATA. In performance-maximizing RAID 0 configurations with dual M.2 SSDs, write speeds are up to 40% faster than a single M.2 SSD drive setup and read operations are an astonishing 84% faster. Or, for total reassurance, pair your M.2 devices into a RAID 1 configuration for instant data redundancy.

NVMe high-speed storage interface

P11C-M/4L adopts the first-to-market NVMe technology to reduce latency, lower power consumption and provides faster CPU to data storage performance to gain larger throughputs. By offering flexible NVMe upgrade package of switching storage interface including PCIe to U.2 add-on card or M.2 to U.2 adapter, P11C-M/4L features shared common backplane to improve drive choices.

Quad Intel I210AT Gigabit Ethernet

P11C-M/4L features quad server-class Intel Ethernet ports with the I210 controllers and teaming support that speed up the network bandwidth and the failover function ensures uninterrupted network connection. This suits virtualization applications perfectly which requires ultrafast and reliable network.

TPM-M 2.0 ready

P11C-M/4L supports TPM-M 2.0 with a 14-1 TPM header to securely store keys, digital certificates, passwords and data. It helps to enhance network security, protect digital identities, and ensure platform integrity.

Comprehensive IT infrastructure management

P11C-M/4L features an optional embedded iKVM module and is bundled with ASUS Control Center to provide comprehensive out-of-band and in-band management features for small and mid-size businesses.

The optional ASMB9-iKVM module supports remote BIOS updates, fan control, standalone KVMs, video recording, and BSOD capture, providing around-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnostics — even if the operating system is down or offline — through a user-friendly, web-based graphical interface that works with all major browsers.

ASUS Control Center (ACC) is a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, monitoring of multiple systems via mobile devices, and one-click software updates and dispatching, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.

Enhanced serviceability

With its power button located on the front I/O panel, P11C-M/4L is designed to provide easier maintenance and deployment for diverse applications.

Quick initialization guidance

P11C-M/4L provides instant system information during initialization as well as any unusual diagnostic results for more efficient IT operation and easy troubleshooting.

ASUS ProCool connector

ASUS ProCool is designed without hollow area, this enables lower impedance, facilitates faster heat dissipation, resulting in cooler operating temperature. Reduces power loss and increases cost savings.
