P9D-M

Space-saving with optimized features

The ASUS P9D-M is a micro ATX form factor serverboard featuring the latest Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processor family, dual Intel server-class I210 LAN ports, SATA 6Gb/s, and digital power delivery. These make the P9D-M a great serverboard for small form factor servers, data centers, and SMB printer/file/mail/exchange servers.

Overview

Micro ATX compact form factor increases density

The 9.6 x 9.6 micro ATX form factor of the P9D-M fits various small form factor applications. In addition, it can be easily integrated in short-depth chassis to greatly increase rack compute density and provide higher computing power per rack.

Excellent I/O Design

The ASUS P9D-M has a total of four PCI Express slots and support up to four USB 3.0 ports. It is built to connect easily with next generation components and peripherals, as USB 3.0 transfers data 10X faster than USB 2.0 while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Dual Intel I210AT Gigabit Ethernet

The ASUS P9D-M ships with dual server-class Intel Ethernet ports with the I210AT controllers, which doubles queues compared to previous-generation Intel 82574L controllers. This is better for virtualization applications. In addition, the dual LAN teaming ports provide high networking bandwidth with load balance and fault tolerance functions. This design greatly reduces data processing bottlenecks during network traffic.

Friendly Design for front I/O, front VGA

An accessible rear power button is reserved onboard for use as front panel ports when reversing the serverboard. An extra 15-pin VGA header features front-panel monitor connectivity, helping customers with greater flexibility. These designs provide flexible I/O integration for users to fit in various computing environments.

High power efficiency with digital power control

Digital CPU power controls work perfectly together to match digital power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing and response efficiently delivering precision power. Accurate delivery reduces waste and provides more stable voltage. P9D-M power efficiency reaches an impressive 90%.

SATA DOM (Disk on Module) ready

A SATA DOM is a flash drive simulating a hard disc which can be used without additional software or drivers. It is particularly helpful within embedded computing systems or thin clients. ASUS-exclusive design adds an onboard 4-pin power connector and USB header to make SATA DOM installation simple and easy.

Comprehensive server management: ASMB7-iKVM and ASWM Enterprise

The ASMB7-iKVM upgrade kit enables dashboard system health monitoring, remote power on/off and control, virtual media over LAN, and management LAN fail-over support. In addition, the ASMB7 function is based on BIOS-level access, so even if the server operating system is down or offline, the KVM module can still provide round-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnosis through a user-friendly web-based graphical interface via all major browsers. ASWM Enterprise software provides one-to-multiple centralized management, including BIOS flash, remote control, and power control, all through a colorful and informative graphical interface.
