Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E3-1200 V5 series processors (Socket
LGA 1151) and the Intel C232 PCH, the C7C232-CB-ML motherboard offers maximum I/O
expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a 14-nm process architecture and is
optimized for desktop solutions.
The Intel E3-1200 V5 and PCH C232 platform supports the following features:
•
ACPI Power Management Logic Support, Rev. 4.0a
•
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
•
Configurable TDP (cTDP) and Lower-Power Mode
•
Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
•
PCI-E 3.0 and SATA 3.0 w/transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s
•
Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT)
•
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the C7C232-CB-ML motherboard.
The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health
monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
