Kontron expands its portfolio with the K3881-C and K3882-C µATX motherboards, designed and manufactured in Germany.
Both models meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act, offer comprehensive server management functions and are optimised for industrial server applications. The K3881-C with 10GbE connectivity and 5G support is particularly suited for data-intensive infrastructures, while the K3882-C is a cost-effective solution for standard server applications.
The K3882-C offers high reliability, flexible expansion options and advanced security features. It features dual 1GbE LAN, two PCIe slots and is based on the Intel C262 chipset with support for Intel Xeon E-2400 and 6300 processors. In addition, it has two M.2 Key-M slots (2280/22110), one M.2 Key-E slot (2230) for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, a management LAN port and a COM and DisplayPort port.
The K3881-C is specifically designed for high performance industrial server applications. It features an integrated BMC for remote server management, two 10GbE high-speed Ethernet connections, three PCIe slots and is based on the Intel C266 chipset. It also has two 1GbE interfaces, two 10GbE ports, two M.2 Key-M slots (2280/22110), one M.2 Key-E slot (2230) for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, a management LAN port, and a COM and DisplayPort port. A M.2 Key-B (3052) slot allows the use of advanced M.2 5G modules.
Both motherboards support OpenBMC and Redfish, providing a powerful remote management solution for servers. This enables reliable remote maintenance in medium-sized businesses, data centres and mission-critical systems with the highest availability and security requirements. Kontron offers server management software that is being developed continously and enhanced with new features. Designed and manufactured in Germany, Kontron's industrial server motherboards are specifically designed for use in critical infrastructures where cyber security and a trusted supply chain are paramount. The hardware, BIOS, firmware and server management, as well as the entire production of the motherboards, is carried out entirely by Kontron and is therefore subject to centralised control and responsibility.
Samples of the new K3881-C and K3882-C µATX motherboards will be available from June 2025.
