The Affordable 2-way High Performance Serverboard

The DSBV-DX/SAS serverboard supports two Dual-Core/Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5100/5300 Sequence Processors based on Intel 5000V chipset, offering customers with outstanding performance with up to 2-Way 8-Core processing capability. Its ready for the broadest range of 64-bit applications, Intel VT and Intel I/OAT technology. With 6 Fully-Buffered DIMM slots, DSBV-DX/SAS supports Fully-Buffered DIMM 533/667MHz up to 24GB memory capacity, which provides excellent computing power especially together with dual Quad-Core processors.

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.
