Intel DBS1200V3RPL

Overview

The Intel DBS1200V3RPL is a server motherboard designed around the Intel C224 chipset and LGA 1150 socket, supporting Intel Xeon E3-1200 v4 processors. It provides a solid foundation for small office servers, home labs, or first-time server builds that require dependable performance and straightforward expandability. With support for up to 32 GB of DDR3 ECC memory and six SATA ports with RAID capabilities, it balances reliability and flexibility for a variety of workloads.

Key features

• Supports Intel Xeon E3-1200 v4 processors to deliver stable and efficient server-grade computing power.
• Four DIMM slots accommodate up to 32 GB of DDR3 ECC memory, which helps prevent data corruption by detecting and correcting memory errors automatically.
• Six SATA ports with native RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support allow you to configure storage for speed, redundancy, or a combination of both, adapting to your specific data needs.
• Dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports enable network segmentation, allowing one port for production traffic and the other for backup or management tasks, enhancing security and network performance.
• Multiple PCI Express slots provide room for expansion cards such as additional network adapters or high-performance storage controllers, ensuring future-proofing for growing demands.
• Onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) with IPMI 2.0 support offers remote monitoring and management capabilities, which can be extended with the optional Intel Remote Management Module for full remote control over power, sensors, and virtual media.
• MicroATX form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of tower and rack cases, making it easy to upgrade existing setups or build compact servers with room for expansion.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
