      High Performance AMD Platform Serverboard with Energy-saving Green Design



      Green Design with 90%+ High Power Efficiency

      • Optimizes the power efficiency up to 90%+, which is power-saving compared to general serverboards (actual power saving also depends on loading in the system)
      • Offering a significant reduction of the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), especially for the enterprises and IDC deploying with numerous server systems to provide 7x24 non-stop services


      ASUS PIKE Upgrade Kit Provides Flexible Storage Options for End Users

      • Optional PIKE 1064E (4-port SAS), PIKE 1068E (8-port SAS) and PIKE 1078 (8-port SAS with Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 & RAID 50) are available for SAS RAID support
      • This optional feature makes data storage reliable and convenient and hardware upgrade cost-effective

      ASUS Flex-E (Flexibility of PCI-E) – Auto-switch PCI-E configuration for graphic Card or Storage utilization

      • The unique feature enables auto-switching of PCI-E bandwidth on slot 5 & 6
      • Server mode: the bandwidth of PCI-E x16 (x16 link) switches to PCI-E x16 (x8 link), and slot 5 (PCI-E x8 (x8 link)) is enabled
      • Workstation mode: PCI-E Link of slot 5 is switched to Slot 6 PCI-E x16 (x16 link) slot support high performance graphic card


      Longer Life and Higher Reliability for all Conductive Polymer Caps

      • KFSN5-D/IST is built with all conductive polymer capacitors to provide better durability, electronic conductivity and longer lifetime
      • All conductive polymer capacitors will reduce energy loss and have better thermal characteristics



      High Computing Capability & DDR2 Support

      • Support two Six-Core/ Quad-Core/Dual-Core AMD OpteronTM 2400/2300/2200 series processors
      • 16 DIMM slots support DDR2 800*/667/533 Reg. ECC up to 64GB, which provides excellent computing capability while reduce heat generation from memory module


      Reliable Data Protection

      • Offers 6-port SATAII storage interface to support S/W RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, JBOD for Windows and Linux
      • With ASUS innovative PIKE technology, KFSN5-D/IST is able to support SAS RAID 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60. without extra investment on another add-on cards for SAS storage support
