Asus Z9PE-D16-10G/DUAL - Manual (Page 19)

Z9PE-D16-10G Series 1-5
PCIe 3.0
The motherboard supports the latest PCIe 3.0 device, which doubles the delivered bandwidth
of PCIe 2.0. This enhances system performance while still providing backward compatibility
to PCIe 2.0.
Intel ® I210AT LAN Solution
The motherboard comes with two Gigabit LAN controllers and ports which provide a total
solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel ® I210AT Gigabit LAN controllers use
the PCI Express interface and could achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth.
Broadcom 57840S/57811S 10 GbE Solution
The motherboard comes with Broadcom 10GbE controller and SFP+ connectors which
provides a complete 10GbE solution for your networking requirements. Broadcom 10GbE
controller is performanced focused and optimized for high throughput, low latency and CPU
utilization, thus it is the best choice for datacenter, enterprise, service provider, and so on.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the CPU resources
by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency depending on the CPU
loading and system speed or power requirement.
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA
interface and Intel ® C600 chipset. The Serial ATA II specification provides twice the bandwidth
of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new features, including Native Command
Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap.
Serial ATA allows thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage
requirements.
Serial ATA III technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA III technology through the Serial ATA interface and
Intel ® C600 chipset, delivering up to 6Gb/s data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced
scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, dramatically
increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps
on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan
rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the
voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.
