      Flexible Expandability
      The DSBV-DX/SAS serverboard supports two PCI Express x8 slots (one is in x4 link) which support up-to-date high performance expansion cards like RAID card, Infiniband cards, 10Gb Ethernet cards, Fiber-Channel cards, etc.; meanwhile, it protects users´ investment via two PCI-X 133/100 MHz slots and one PCI 33MHz/32bit slot, providing flexible options for server utilization.

      Reliable Data Protection and Complete RAID Upgrade Path
      DSBV-DX/SAS offers 6-port SATA storage interface. The built-in Intel® Matrix Storage driver supports S/W RAID 1, 10, 5 for Windows. Meanwhile, DSBV-DX/SAS equipped with enterprise class LSI® 1068 SAS controller. This implementation ensures reliable, robust and high performance on storage interface. The LSI® 1068 SAS controller provides RAID1, 1E support across maximum 8-SAS drives, and also reserved cost-effective Zero-Channel-RAID (ZCR) upgrade path for support Hardware RAID 5.

      Optional MemCool Kit for Better Thermal & Acoustic Solution
      Empowered by ASUS thermal solution, ASUS Patented MemCool Kit maximizes Fully-buffered DIMM performance by eliminating the potential risk of system memory throttling (down-speed) from over-temperature.

      As well, with the effective cooling of Full-buffered DIMM, the lower working temperature will prolong the lifespan of memory modules. It also helps to improve system acoustic level by driving the air flow directly on the hot spot of Fully-buffered DIMM(s) and avoids the system fan rolling noise caused by the overheating of memory module.
