The ASUS P10S-C/4L is an Intel Greenlow platform server board based on the Intel C232 chipset provides quad server-class Intel Ethernet , native 6 SATA 6G, 2 PCI Express 3.0 slots, dual M.2 sockets, one legacy PCI slot and one MIO slot which can fulfill various customers’ requirements. It suitable for Data center frond-end server, firewall, gateway server, storage server, SMB print/file/mail/exchange server etc.
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 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.
ASUS P10S-C/4L server board is designed with the platinum power solution with the hand-chosen components and provide titanium efficiency which is up to 94%. The platinum power solution consists 3 pillars to achieve the 94% 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.
The ASUS P10S-C/4L ships with quad server-class Intel Ethernet ports with the I210 controllers, which doubles queues compared to previous-generation Intel controllers. This is better for virtualization applications. In addition, the quad LAN teaming quadruples the network bandwidth and the failover function ensures uninterrupted network connections.
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.
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.
