Asus Z9PE-D8 WS User Manual

ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS 1-5
DDR3 memory support
The motherboard supports the 4-channel DDR3 memory that features data
transfer rates of DDR3 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz to boost the system’s performance,
and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of server and workstation
applications. The 4-channel DDR3 architecture also manages trafc with bandwidth
of up to 52GB/s, and reduces voltage thus reducing power usage and heat
generation. Also, the motherboard supports LR-DIMM (Load reduced DIMM) which
uses a specially designed buffer to reduce the data load to a single load and can
increase overall server system memory capacity.
PCI Express
®
3.0
PCI Express
®
3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard that provides twice the
performance and speed of PCIe 2.0. It provides an optimal graphics performance,
unprecedented data speed, and seamless transition with its complete backward
compatibility to PCIe 1.0/2.0 devices.
Intel
®
82574L Gigabit LAN Solution
This motherboard features the built-in dual server class Intel
®
Gigabit LAN ports,
which helps reduce CPU usage, thus increasing throughput to achieve highly-reliable
network connections, outstanding performance, and better support for diverse
operating systems.
Intel
®
82574L chipset is VMware-certied to support the virtualization technology.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the
CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency
depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement.
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the Serial
ATA interface and Intel
®
C602 chipset. The Serial ATA II specication provides
twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new
features, including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM)
Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more exible
cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage requirements.
