Server Motherboard XEON DSGC-DW , i5000

Powerful Workstation solution with innovative technology

Designed from the ground up for professional workstations, ASUS will launch a bran-new workstation DSGC-DW which is loaded with Intel latest dual/quad core and dual processor platform, Intel 5000X MCH and Intel 6321ESB ICH chipset, DDR2 fully buffer DIMM support, and integrated high-speed interfaces for true workstation operation.

Leading Technology Enables Performance Scale-up
Running on the Intel 5000X MCH and Intel 6321ESB ICH, the DSGC-DW workstation is based on dual/quad core Intel Xeon processors 5000/5100/5300 sequence with higher FSB speed support (1066/1333) and large cache size to deliver significant performance gains.

Fully Buffer DIMM supports quad-channel ECC DDR2 533/667 up to 32GB for memory demanding applications. Greater memory throughput helps remove performance bottlenecks.

Ultimate in Expansibility and Upgrade
Defined as professional workstation, DSGC-DW loaded with up-to-dated expansion interfaces. Mainstream x16 PCI-E expansion slot delivers best graphic performance. OpenGL graphic cards from major vendors also tested to meet professional users demand. X8 PCI-E and PCI-X 133 expansion slot ensures to cover most server-class add-on cards.

Build in 8 channel audio with SPD/IF, dual IEEE 1394 and up to 8 USB connectors, DSGC-DW brings power users great experience and also be powerful for various digital content creation.

Complete RAID solutions with reliable data support
The DSGC-DW equipped with 6 SATA2 connectors from Intel 6321IESB CH. Enabled by LSI MegaRAID driver stack and Intel Storage Matrix driver, DSGC-DW offers complete coverage on for both Windows XP and Linux OS for RAID 0, 1, 10 support.

Superb network performance with server connectivity
Dual PCI-E Gb LAN with I/OAT technology feature prevent network traffic moves network data more efficiently. Teaming and fail over function provide more flexible and reliable server connectivity

Optional Mem-Cool Fan Kit optimize FB-DMM Performance
Patented ASUS MemCool FB-DIMM Fan kit blows air directly to the hot spot on the FB-DIMM module. Accompanied with ASUS BIOS setting, will make system in excellent balance among memory performance, system acoustic, and longer memory life time. Tool-less design of the module also makes users can install the Mem-Cool kit easily without potential damage to the board. Finally, the Mem-Cool kit is an unified design which can be used on all ASUS dual Xeon server boards on 2U or higher chassis.
