® The motherboard delivers a host of new features and latest technologies, making it another standout in the long line of ASUS quality motherboards! Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the list below.
Page 16: Serial Number Label
Before requesting support from the ASUS Technical Support team, you must take note of the motherboard's serial number containing 12 characters xxM0Axxxxxxx shown as the figure below. With the correct serial number of the product, ASUS Technical Support team members can then offer a quicker and satisfying solution to your problems.
Page 17 This enhances system performance while still providing backward compatibility to PCIe 1.0 devices. Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technology support (DSEB-D16/SAS model only) SAS is the latest storage interface for enterprise-class storage devices. Building on and improving the parallel SCSI foundation, SAS is the new industry standard that includes Serial ATA interoperability, and is projected to be the succesor of the Ultra320 SCSI technology.
