https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/ECC-with-Celeron-G540-on-S1200KP/m-p/360712#M7299 <P>Hello. I am planning a low-power mini-ITX storage server based around the S1200KP server board. It seems like the perfect solution for my needs, particularly in that I could use the inexpensive Celeron G540 as CPU. ECC memory is a requirement for this server. According the Product Brief for the G540 (<A href="http://download.intel.com/embedded/processor/prodbrief/325980.pdf">http://download.intel.com/embedded/processor/prodbrief/325980.pdf</A> <A href="http://download.intel.com/embedded/processor/prodbrief/325980.pdf">http://download.intel.com/embedded/processor/prodbrief/325980.pdf</A>), it supports ECC memory. So I naturally assumed this would not be an issue, but recently someone pointed out to me that if you search the ARK using ECC support as a filter, the G540 is eliminated from the results.</P><P></P><P>Is it possible to receive some clarification on this issue? Thank you very much!</P> Tue, 20 Nov 2012 03:53:00 GMT idata 2012-11-20T03:53:00Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/ECC-with-Celeron-G540-on-S1200KP/m-p/360712#M7299 <P>Hello.

See <A href="http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s1200kp/sb/CS-032725.htm">http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s1200kp/sb/CS-032725.htm</A> Tested processor list. The type of memory supported by the processor is dependent on the PCH SKU in the target platform. So, on S1200KP, yes ECC is supported. </P> Tue, 20 Nov 2012 05:46:26 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/ECC-with-Celeron-G540-on-S1200KP/m-p/360713#M7300 Edward_Z_Intel 2012-11-20T05:46:26Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/ECC-with-Celeron-G540-on-S1200KP/m-p/360714#M7301 <P>Great, thanks. I had seen the G540 listed in the tested processor list. I thought it might be the case that while one can use the processor in the motherboard, ECC memory would not be enabled while doing so. Thanks for your clarification!</P> Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:56:06 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/ECC-with-Celeron-G540-on-S1200KP/m-p/360714#M7301 idata 2012-11-21T02:56:06Z
