Micro ATX compact with Highest Power Efficiency
The ASUS P10S-M-DC
is
an Intel® Greenlow
platform server board based on the Intel® C232 chipset provides
dual
server-class Intel®
Ethernet , native 6 SATA 6G, 2 PCI Express 3.0 slots
and dual M.2 with extreme power efficiency
which is the best candidate for data center compute nodes. The 9.6” x 9.6” micro ATX form factor can be
easily integrated in short-depth chassis to greatly increase rack compute density.
Dual M.2 Boots I/O Performance & Data Redundancy
In
order to bring up better performance or back-up solution for internal OS drive
scenario, we design dual M.2 spec on selected server boards. With this design,
configuring dual M.2 devices as RAID 0 to boost read performance up to 84% and
write performance up to 40% compared to single M.2; moreover, if users require
data redundancy of OS drive, RAID 1 will be a good choice with dual M.2 storage
devices.
Next-Gen Storage – NVMe Support
Next-Gen
Storage technology – NVMe is where the industry is headed. By
taking new NVM technology closer to the CPU with the benefits of less latency
and higher maximum bandwidth, NVMe solution is the fastest internal storage
interface today.
There
are two solutions to implement NVMe
application on P10S series. One is PCIe interface solution – directly plug the PCIeNVMe
devices or through ASUS-made PCIe to U.2 adapter (ASUS PCIE-NVME1). The
other is M.2 interface solution – through ASUS-made M.2 to U.2 adapter (ASUS
M2-NVME1). By using mini-SAS HD to min-SAS HD cable or mini-SAS HD to SFF-8639
cable, the ASUS-made PCIe to U.2 or M.2 to U.2 adapters offer
flexible NVMe
upgrade package on different usage scenario.
*ASUS
PCIE-NVME1, ASUS M2-NVME1, cables are optional items.
Optional PIKE II 3x08 Series SAS 12Gb/s solution
ASUS
PIKE II 3x08 series is the latest 12Gb/s SAS and PCI-E 3.0 high reliability
enterprise storage solution. It meets users’ needs with support 12Gb/s SAS
storage and various RAID levels data protection. Just placing the PIKE II card,
P10S Series can immediately enlarge the capacity and improve the performance,
making it the great upgrade option.
ASUS Platinum-Grade Power Efficiency
ASUS P10S-M-DC
server
board is designed with the titianium
power solution
with the hand-chosen components and provide titanium efficiency which is up to 95%.
The titianum
power solution
consists 3 pillars to achieve the 95% platinum
efficiency: 12K Ultra Longevity Solid Capacitor ,Beat Thermal Choke III and Digi+
VRM. 12K solid capacitors which is able to withstand up to 1,200,000 hours of
temperatures as high as 65°C (12K hours@105°C). The 3rd generation Beat Thermal
Choke with lower DCR and result in 3℃-lower choke temperatures enhance power
efficiency. ASUS DIGI+ VRM is digital VR controller precisely provide the
accurate voltage/current that CPU require to reduce switching loss. Therefore,
using in non-stop server machine running 24 hours per day, it will reduce
electronic cost for customers in this generation products.
Serviceability – Quick Boot
The
ASUS P10 Series features quick
initialization guidance which let users realize system initialization state in
seconds; Turn on the power button comes with
3 key information showing on the screen at the same time: (1) progress bar
showcases the booting status, (2) BMC IP address if ASMB module is mounted on
the server and (3) 2-digit
POST code messages are available to give users a total understanding of startup
process and to clearly indicate boot-up status which is easy for
troubleshooting.
Complete remote server management
The
optional IPMI 2.0-compliant ASMB8-iKVM module enables remote BIOS updates,
backup and restore configurations, SNMP agent support (MIBs files), audit log,
and BIOS post code. With out-of-band management ASMB8-iKVM provides
round-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnosis even if the server operating
system is down or offline, and all through a user-friendly web-based graphical
interface that works with all major browsers. In addition, ASWM Enterprise
software provides one-to-multiple centralized management including BIOS flash,
software dispatch, task scheduler, remote control and power control, via
colorful and informative graphical interface.
