ASRock E3C226D2I with Xeon CPU without GPU

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello!

I use the ASRock E3C226D2I currently with an Intel i3 CPU and it works fine.

https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=E3C226D2I#Specifications

For performance reasons, I'd like to upgrade the system with a Xeon CPU instead.

My system has no dedicated GPU installed. Xeon CPUs don't have integrated GPUs. Does the mainboard has some basic GPU onboard to enable basic server use? I just need console. I couldn't tell from the specs.

Can anybody give some insight?

Thanks,
airflow

	BMC (ASPEED) includes a GPU, because, well, that's how you're able to manage the system remotely (or locally for that matter).

	Wonderful! Thanks for confirmation. I was hoping that's the anwer, but I wasn't sure if this spec of the mainboard is just for the remote management.
