The Asus Z8PE-D12 server motherboard supports up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors at 4.8 GT/s, 5.86 GT/s, and 6.4 GT/s bus speeds via the Intel QuickPath Interconnect to handle even the most demanding applications. With 12 DIMM slots, it can support up to 6-channel registered or unbuffered DDR3 800/1066/1333MHz memory to significantly improve the computing capability.
Asus Flex-E Technology automatically transforms the motherboard into a dual-use serverboard for the advantages of both server and workstation modes. The optional Asus PIKE delivers flexible storage options and direct SAS RAID upgrades—without sacrificing expansion capability. An optional ASMB4 iKVM upgrade kit enables remote real-time full control access to the system by keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM over Ethernet) from any local computer anywhere, anytime.
Built with both durability and energy efficiency in mind, the Z8PE-D12 utilizes ultra long life conductive polymer capacitors, providing the durability and reliability essential to meet the power needs of high-end processors and other components, while the Asus EPU technology delivers system-wide power efficiency by intelligently adjusting power in real time to ensure the best power management.
