ASUS Z8 SERIES
DUAL XEON MOTHERBOARDS + 2x W5580
Next, we look at the Z8PE-D12X. This is the
BIG BROTHER. And this one, they got right...
Full E-ATX brimming with features!
Notice the 2x 8-pin power connectors along with the
main 24-pin ATX
The blue slot is a PCIe x16 slot electrically, while
the three PCIe x16 are physically x16, but
electrically has 8 lanes.
The top slot is for the audio card, the bottom two
are PCI-X 64-bit slots, with the last one shared
with Asus' proprietary PIKE slot
For storage, we have 8x SAS ports, 6x SATA ports, a
PATA, and an FDD connector
The rear IO panel has the PS/2 ports, 2x USB ports
with a 10/100
management port on top, DB9 serial, HDB15, 2x
gigabit LAN
Not included in the package, the MIO-AUDIO card
plugs into the top slot which looks like a PCIe x1
Analog outputs, inputs, as well as TOSLINK and COAX
SPDIF
