ASUS PIKE (Proprietary I/O Kit Expansion) - Flexible storage options for end users
Optional PIKE 1064E (4-port SAS) and PIKE 1078 (8-port SAS with Hardware RAID5 & RAID6) are available for SAS RAID support
PIKE card enables on-demand upgrade, and allows customers to invest on basic SKUs for current use
Reduce qualification resource and inventory management efforts
Multiple I/O solutions are available without occupying slot 6 in 1U chassis
ASUS Flex-E (Flexibility of PCI-E) – Auto-switch PCI-E configuration for Graphic Card or Storage utilization
This unique feature makes DSAN-DX a dual-use serverboard. With the auto-switch function, users can enjoy the flexibility of Server/Worksrtaion mode. PCI Express x16 (x16 link) supports professional workstation graphic card; and for Storage utilization, PCI Express x16 (x8 link) is ideal for Infiniband HBA, SATA RAID HBA, Internal & external SATA RAID HBA
Support one PCI Express x16 (x16 link) (auto switch to x8 link if PCI Express x8 (x8 link) on slot five is occupied)
High Computing Capability & DDR2 Support
Support two Dual-Core/Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors by Intel® 5100 chipset, ready for broad range of 64-bit applications
6 DIMM slots support DDR2 533/667 Reg. ECC up to 48GB memory space, which provides excellent computing capability while reduce heat generation from memory modules
Reliable Data Protection
Offers 6-port SATA storage interface to support S/W RAID 1, 10, 5 for Windows via built-in Intel® Matrix Storage driver
Bundled LSI® MegaRAID provides enhanced S/W RAID 1, 10 support for major Linux distributions
With optional ASUS PIKE 1064E 4-port SAS card, DSAN-DX can support RAID 0, 1, 1E, without extra investment on another add-on card or serverboard for SAS storage support
With optional ASUS PIKE 1078 8-port SAS card, DSAN-DX can support Hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60, without extra investment on another add-on card for SAS storage support
