Z8PE-D18, 2x Socket LGA1366, Intel 5520 IOH, RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, Aspeed AST2050 8MB VRAM, 18 slots (3-channel per CPU, 9 DIMM per CPU), 1333/1066/800 MHz, Maximum up to 192GB RDIMM/Maximum up to 48GB UDIMM
<b>18 DIMMs & Slot 6 in Standard EEB</b>
<b>Standard EEB with 18 DIMMs and Riser Card Slot</b>
Z8PE-D18 is designed in EEB (12” x 13”) form factor, with 18 memory DIMMs with traditional riser card slot all on the same board. This board will offer you highest memory capacity without source for proprietary chassis & riser solution.
<b>ASUS PIKE Supported</b>
ASUS PIKE (Proprietary I/O Kit Expansion) is designed to break the limitation with 2 key advantages:
- Provide flexible SAS storage add-on card selection
- Board edge design: locate PIKE expansion at the edge of the board for full height card support when PIKE is installed
<b>Dual Use for Server and Workstation with Flex-E Technology and MIO Card</b>
The ASUS Flex-E technology provides the flexibility to auto-switch between 2 true PCI-E x16 Link (support 2 double deck graphic cards) or 1 PCI-E x16 Link & 2 PCI-E x8 Link (for I/O expansion).
The MIO audio card offers enhanced signal-to-noise ratio in a 7.1 surround channel setup to deliver exhilarating surround sound for professional usage.
<b>Optimized for Virtualization, VMDq Supported</b>
On-board LAN supports Intel VMDq Technology which offloads CPU utilization and decreases latency to improve throughput for virtual machines. It benefits users by enhancing performance in virtualization environments.
<b>Optional ASMB4-iKVM Upgrade Kit for Easy Troubleshooting</b>
The optional ASMB4-iKVM provides remote real-time full control access to the system based on BIOS-level by keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM over Ethernet) from any local computer anywhere, anytime.
<b>High Quality Components for Greater System Reliability</b>
ASUS is the first company to phase in 6-Phase CPU power, 3-Phase memory power and All Ultra Long Life Solid capacitors on serverboard in the market. These features not only provide the support for high-end 130W CPU, but also deliver highly efficient and reliable operations.
In addition, Z8PE-D18 also features EPU (Energy Processor Unit) power saving design, virtualization, CrossFire support and so on, serving as an ideal choice for mission critical applications.
