      Serverboard with Extreme Performance and High Manageability



      EPU for Extreme Energy Efficiency

      With current trends leaning towards energy savings, the Z8PE-D12 is equipped with the ASUS exclusive EPU technology to provide total system power efficiency by detecting current loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time to ensure the best power management.


      ASUS PIKE Supported

      With the ASUS optional PIKE providing slim-sized and flexible storage options, direct SAS RAID upgrades can be achieved directly via a unique slot—without sacrificing expansion capability. The ASUS PIKE further provides customers with multiple I/O solutions and RAID functions.


      Flex-E Technology Enables Dual Use

      The ASUS Flex-E Technology provides the flexibility to auto-switch between 1 PCI-E x16 link (Graphic card supported) and 2 PCI-E x8 link (for I/O expansion), allowing the customers to use PCI-E link more flexible.

      Furthermore, the MIO audio card offers great sound quality to complement the robust video power for workstation users.


      High Quality Components for Greater System Reliability

      The ASUS 6-Phase CPU power and 3-Phase memory power design provides support for the high-end 130W CPU; and delivers highly efficient and reliable operations.

      Furthermore, the Z8PE-D12 utilizes ALL Japan-made ultra long life solid capacitors onboard for durability, which sustain 57 years at 65? and enhanced thermal capacity.


      Optional ASMB4-iKVM Upgrade Kit for Easy Management

      The optional ASMB4-iKVM upgrade kit 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.


      Virtualization Application Certified

      Virtualization provides central management through a hub and reduces power consumption and cost for cooling and space requirements. The Z8PE-D12 is able to provide excellent virtualization applications with ISV certification. The onboard vertical USB connector is designed for VMWare ESXi, to make full use of the system resource and reduce the TCO and IT expense.
