The MW31-SP0 is GIGABYTE's first ATX workstation motherboard supporting the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 V5 processor family. With its comprehensive set of features and GIGABYTE's server grade components and build quality, this motherboard is an ideal solution for professional tower workstations requiring a high level of durability.

Notably, it features a mezzanine card slot with four PCIe lanes with custom mounting sockets to receive one of our proprietary LAN controller cards. Positioned right between the board's CPU socket and its rear I/O, it can be used to add functions (for example a Thunderbolt port, or an additional M.2 slot) to the standard interface and fit into a larger range of possible network scenarios.

Moreover, it includes comprehensive audio connectivity with five audio jacks and an optical S/PDIF output on the rear panel, as well as a front audio header, an S/PDIF-In and an S/PDIF-Out header on the board.
