Asus P7F-C/SAS

Leading-edge Architecture
This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Xeon processor 3400 series, Intel® desktop processor Core i7-800 series, Intel® desktop processor Core i5-700 series in LGA 1156 package, which has memory and PCI Express controller integrated to support 2-channel (6 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 2.0 lanes. The new platform architecture has significant improvement in performance and the processor is one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.

Most Cost-Conscious SAS Solution
P7F-C/SAS supports 6 SATA2 300MB/s ports and additional 8 SAS 300MB/s ports from LSI 1068E, offering cost-effective while reliable SAS storage solution and RAID 0, 1, 1E for users to protect their valuable data.

Dual Enterprise-class LAN Ports
P7F-C/SAS is built with dual GbE LAN ports to enhance networking transfer rate around 2 times faster than the Single-LAN Platform. With teaming enabled, two LAN ports can act like a single LAN with 2 times bandwidth. In addition, the network failover capability gives you fault tolerance function to minimize system down time. The teaming & failover function enable higher bandwidth aggregation and reliable network connection.

2 PCI-E x8 & 4 PCI slot for Legacy Devices
The P7F-C series serverboards are equipped with 6 expansion slots, with 2 support PCI-E x16 (x8 link) and 4 support PCI interface. The design meets general and specific needs. The flexible & scalable expansion slots are especially geared for the special-purpose servers. It caters to server appliance market which the board targets on.

Support DDR3 UDIMM/ RDIMM
P7F-C/SAS supports UDIMM and RDIMM DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of server applications. The 2-channel DDR3 architecture boosts system performance, eliminating bottlenecks. Furthermore, the supply voltage for the memory is reduced from 1.8 V for DDR2 to just 1.5V for DDR3. This voltage reduction limits the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3 which makes it an ideal memory solution.
