The ASUS Z9PE-D16 serverboard provides an ideal foundation for reliable performance and future upgrades. Through innovative ASUS design, it offers a high power efficiency of up to 90%, quad Intel® LAN ports with great virtualization support, and high I/O expandability. Users also obtain high manageability via the latest ASMB6, making this an ideal general purpose host server, AP server, mail server, and storage server.
Complete Storage Support
The Z9PE-D16 boasts multiple SAS implementation, from Intel® SCU/AHCI to ASUS PIKE, supporting the latest SATA/SAS 6Gbps technology. While ASUS optional PIKE provides slim-sized and flexible storage options, direct SAS RAID upgrades can be achieved via a unique slot — without sacrificing expansion capability. ASUS PIKE further provides customers with multiple I/O options and RAID functionality, and various storage expansion choices for different applications.
ASMB6-iKVM Upgrade Kit for Easy Troubleshooting
The ASMB6-iKVM enables dashboard system health monitoring, remote power on/off and control, virtual media over LAN, and management LAN fail-over support. In addition, the ASMB6 function is based on BIOS-level access, so even if the server operating system is down or offline, the KVM module can still provide round-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnosis through a user-friendly web-based graphical interface through all major browsers.
Green and Highly Power Efficient
Z9PE-D16 voltage regulation manages up to 90% peak power efficiency, with 88%+ during heavy CPU loading. This ensures high power efficiency for the entire system to help customers save operating costs.
Cutting-Edge Architecture
The Z9PE-D16 supports the latest Intel® E5-2600 series processors (Sandy Bridge-EP). Through ASUS design and research expertise, it has been adapted to support upcoming E5-2600 V2 processors (Ivy Bridge-EP) to protect customer investment. Featuring 16-DIMM slots, it can take up to 512GB of DDR3 1600 / 1333 / 1066 RDIMM / UDIMM / LRDIMM memory, providing high computing capability.
