Introduction

The ASMB-920IR serverboard is the most advanced Intel Xeon E5-2600 series
board for server-grade IPC applications that require high-performance computing.
The serverboard supports an Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processor and DDR3 1066/
1333/1600 MHz memory up to 128GB.
ASMB-920IR provides dual PCIe x16 slots which can support two high performance
graphic cards.
For multi-interface expansion card applications, ASMB-920IR can support three addi-
tional expansion slots with a PME board.
In addition, the ASMB-920IR has dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports via a dedicated
PCIe x1 bus, which offer bandwidth up to 500 MB/s, eliminating network bottlenecks.
The ASMB-920IR has a third RJ-45 LAN connector which is dedicated for IPMI func-
tion allowing remote control
High reliability and outstanding performance makes ASMB-920IR the ideal platform
for industrial server/networking applications.
By using the Intel C600 chipset, the ASMB-920IR offers a variety of features such as
4 onboard SATA II, and 2 onboard SATA III interfaces; it provides software RAID 0, 1,
10 and 5 (Windows only); and it has 11 USB 2.0 connectors.
ASMB-920IR has an embedded LSI SAS controller SAS2008, which can support 8
SAS/SATA HDDs and RAID 0,1,1E.
These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities
and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
