Combat Model with Legacy PCI Support
The ASUS P10S-X is a new UP serverboard designed as an Intel®
Greenlow platform entry model to provide a cost and power-efficient
platform. The P10S-X is based on the Intel® C232 chipset, featuring dual
server-class Intel® Ethernet, native 6 SATA 6G onboard, 2 Gen3
expansion slots to provide advanced I/O design. Moreover, it supports up
to 4 legacy PCI slots to reserve the usage ability of legacy PCI
devices.
Dual Intel® I210AT Gigabit Ethernet
The ASUS P10S-X ships with dual server-class Intel® Ethernet ports
with the I210 controllers, which doubles queues compared to
previous-generation Intel® controllers. This is better for
virtualization applications. In addition, the dual LAN teaming double
the network bandwidth and the failover function ensures uninterrupted
network connections.
Next-Gen Storage – NVMe Support
Next-Gen Storage technology – NVMe is where the industry is headed.
By taking new NVM technology closer to the CPU with the benefits of less
latency and higher maximum bandwidth, NVMe solution is the fastest
internal storage interface today.
To implement NVMe application on P10S-X, users can directly plug the
PCIe NVMe devices or through ASUS-made PCIe to U.2 adapter (ASUS
PCIE-NVME1). By using mini-SAS HD to min-SAS HD cable or mini-SAS HD to
SFF-8639 cable, the ASUS-made PCIe to U.2 adapter offer flexible NVMe
upgrade package on different usage scenario.
*ASUS PCIE-NVME1, cables are optional items.
High Power Efficiency with Platinum Power Solution
ASUS P10S-X serverboard is designed with the platinum power solution
with the hand-chosen components and provide platinum efficiency which is
up to 93%. The platinum power solution consists 3 pillars to achieve
the 93% platinum efficiency: 12K Ultra Longevity Solid Capacitor ,Beat
Thermal Choke III and Digi+ VRM. 12K solid capacitors which is able to
withstand up to 1,200,000 hours of temperatures as high as 65°C (12K
hours@105°C). The 3rd generation Beat Thermal Choke with lower DCR and
result in 3℃-lower choke temperatures enhance power efficiency. ASUS
DIGI+ VRM is digital VR controller precisely provide the accurate
voltage/current that CPU require to reduce switching loss. Therefore,
using in non-stop server machine running 24 hours per day, it will
reduce electronic cost for customers in this generation products.
Serviceability – Quick Boot
The ASUS P10 Series features quick initialization guidance which let
users realize system initialization state in seconds; Turn on the power
button comes with key information showing on the screen at the same
time: (1) progress bar showcases the booting status, (2) 2-digit POST
code messages are available to give users a total understanding of
startup process and to clearly indicate boot-up status which is easy for
troubleshooting.
Optional PIKE II 3x08 Series SAS 12Gb/s solution
ASUS PIKE II 3x08 series is the latest 12Gb/s SAS and PCI-E 3.0 high
reliability enterprise storage solution. It meets users’ needs with
support 12Gb/s SAS storage and various RAID levels data protection. Just
placing the PIKE II card, P10S Series can immediately enlarge the
capacity and improve the performance, making it the great upgrade
option.
