Fujitsu introduces an updated version of the ATX D3348-B motherboard from its extended lifecycle line

July 18, 2016., Munich ā€“ Fujitsu introduces a new version of its time-tested ATX D3348-B motherboard. Its new features include support for more processors. Up to now the board has been able to work with Haswell XEON E5-16xx, 26xx V3 and i7-59xx Haswell-E processors. It is now compatible with the upcoming Broadwell XEON-E5 16xx/26xx V4 and i7 Broadwell-E processors.

Computer Components

Instead of DDR4-2133 memory, the board now supports DDR4-2400. The Trusted Platform Module has also been updated to be compliant with TPM 2 specifications.0 specifications, allowing for a wider range of user-accessible security features. D3348-B2 is suitable for customers who need the latest and greatest performance CPUs.

The motherboard features the IntelĀ® C612 chipset. It features support for Intel Standard Manageability and IntelĀ® vPro remote maintenance standards, as well as Trusted Execution Technology TXT . This chipset also offers optimized support for Intel Xeon processors and ECC memory. As with all models in the Extended Lifecycle series Fujitsu guarantees the board will function for at least three years and puts a rigorous review for design changes. Utilizing solid state capacitors, the D3348-B has a lifespan of 45,000 hours in continuous 24/7 operation.

Despite the significant performance of the CPU, the high-efficiency up to 160W inverters ensure the lowest possible power consumption in all operating modes. The Fujitsu D3348-B also features a massive expansion capability with four x16 PCIe slots and three x 8 PCIe slots, four USB 3 slots.0 memory and nine USB 2.0, and ten SATA 600 connectors with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support.

Motherboards

The basic layout of the D3348-B2 is unchanged from its predecessor D3348-B1, so customers will have no trouble migrating. As an accessory, Fujitsu offers the D3352 PCI x8 expansion card for SSDs in the M module form factor.2, providing high speed data transfer and minimum system boot time. Up to two M SSDs can be installed thanks to the pluggable card solution.2. In addition, it avoids the use of PCIe lines for the integrated M.2.

Compared to the consumer X99 chipset, the C612 offers several notable advantages, including: longer life, support for ECC error correction algorithm, support for Intel Core i7 and Intel XEON processors, vPRO/iAMT Manageability and Trusted Execution Technology, among others for professional and semi-industrial applications.

PeterHoser, Director of OEM Sales, Fujitsuā€œWeā€™ve updated the D3348-B to meet the needs of our customers who need desktop motherboards for industrial use, designed with the most advanced technology. It is still based on the powerful C612 chipset but now supports Broadwell processors. Thanks to the lifecycle monitoring feature, users can count on at least three years of guaranteed service life, with advance notification of all upgrades.ā€.


The industrial applications of this model are enhanced by strict lifecycle monitoring and design changes, as well as other board features such as a watchdog timer, support for 24-hour operation, a BIOS-integrated Erase Disk function that implements the removal of sensitive data from the hard drive, and robust encryption technology. In addition to CE certification, the D3348-B has also received CSA and FCC approval. In particular, these certifications are required by medical device manufacturers.

This motherboard is also suitable for use in automated computer-aided design workstations and medical systems. It is also convenient to use it in 19ā€³ rack-mounted industrial servers.
