Introduction

The ASMB-820I serverboard is the most cost-effective Intel Xeon E5-2400 series
board for server-grade IPC applications that require high-performance computing.
The serverboard supports an Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processor and DDR3 1066/
1333/1600 MHz memory up to 96 GB.
ASMB-820I provides dual PCIe x16 slots (1 x8 link; 1 x16 link) which can support two
high performance graphic cards.
For multi-interface expansion card applications, ASMB-820I can also support 1* PCIe
x1 & 1* PCIe x4 & 2* PCI slots.
In addition, the ASMB-820I 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-820I has a third RJ-45 LAN connector which is dedicated for IPMI func-
tion allowing remote control
High reliability and outstanding performance makes ASMB-820I the ideal platform for
industrial server/networking applications.
By using the Intel C602J chipset, the ASMB-820I 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 12 USB 2.0 connectors.
These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities
and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
