Supermicro - moederbord X14SAZ-F micro-ATX socket 1851 single - moederbord - Intel socket 1851 (Core Ultra 100&200) Micro/Mini/Flex-ATX 192 GB DDR5 DIMM UDIMM RAID 0-1-5 SATA 6 GB/s PCI

The Supermicro X14SAZ-F is a micro-ATX workstation motherboard engineered for Intel Core Ultra 200S processors (Socket 1851), delivering up to 192 GB of DDR5 ECC/non-ECC UDIMM memory and robust server-grade management via IPMI 2.0 with dedicated LAN. It combines high-speed 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion, and triple M.2 NVMe slots in a compact footprint, making it an ideal foundation for professional workstations, entry-level servers, and AI-accelerated edge systems.

Advantages

Built around the Intel W880 chipset, the X14SAZ-F unlocks the full potential of Core Ultra 200S hybrid architecture with efficient power delivery and extensive connectivity. Dual 2.5GbE ports (Intel i226) ensure fast, reliable networking, while the ASPEED AST2600 BMC provides out-of-band KVM, virtual media, and remote monitoring—no extra license required. Four DIMM slots support DDR5-5600 MT/s with ECC for data integrity, and the board features PCIe 5.0 x16, PCIe 4.0 x4, and three M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 x4, two PCIe 4.0 x4) for high-speed storage and accelerators. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5 offer flexible storage options, and the micro-ATX form factor fits standard chassis while leaving room for expansion.

Suitable for

• Professional workstations for CAD, 3D rendering, and content creation
