User may easily acquire eco-system most mature and easy available ATX chassis other than proprietary special-made chassis further ensures end customers can benefit from up-to-date server technologies with affordable budget.

Wide-range Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 support
The Z9PA-D8C supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 series CPUswith all-range including the support of advanced 135W CPU. System builders can choose between advanced, mainstream, and basic processors for all market segments. By supporting different processor and memory types, the Z9PA-D8C helps customer to build up a wide range of servers and workstation builds to meet different price segment customer demand.

The Powerful PCI-E Expandability in 12”x10” Form Factor and MIO-892 audio card support
The Z9PA-D8C is the only 12”x10” form factor board available in the market to dual PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion slots. With the ASUS innovative Flex-E technology, the Z9PA-D8C server boards intelligently split or aggregate the link to support up to 4 true PCI Express 3.0 x8 slots or 2 x16 slots. With the exclusive unique feature, the Z9PA-D8C may serve as a powerful server board, or combines the 7.2 channel MIO-892 audio card becomes workstation.

USB 3.0 supported
The Z9PA-D8C is the first Dual Intel E5-2600 server board with USB 3.0 support. The new USB 3.0 IO technology provides 10 times bandwidth compare to industrial mature USB 2.0.

Digital Power Solution
All-new digital CPU power controls work perfectly together to match digital power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing and response efficiently delivering precision power. Accurate delivery reduces waste, and provides more stable CPU Vcore voltages. The Z9PA-D8C voltage regulation manages up to 90% peak power efficiency, with 85%+ during most normal operation. This ensures high power efficiency for the entire system to help customers save more electrical bills.

Comprehensive Server Management Solution: ASWM Enterprise
