Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge of the 5000P chipset to
provide a six-port Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 supported.
The Serial ATA drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.

The X7DBE+/X7DB8+ has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two x8 PCI-
Express slots, one x4 PCI-Express slot, two 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slots and one

ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports.
ATI Graphics Controller
The X7DBE+/X7DB8+ features an integrated ATI video controller based on the
ES1000 graphics chip. The ES1000 was designed specifi cally for servers, featuring
low power consumption, high reliability and superior longevity.
