1.3 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. Z8NR-D12 xxM0Axxxxxxx Made in China 合格 1.4 Special features 1.4.1 Product highlights Latest processor technology This motherboard supports the latest Intel Xeon 5500 series processors in LGA 1366 package with integrated memory controller to support 3-channel (6 DIMM per CPU) DDR3 memory. Intel Xeon 5500 series processor supports Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with a system bus of up to 6.4GT/s and a max bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s. Intel Xeon 5500 series processor is the one of the most powerful and energy-efficient CPUs in the world. Intel® Turbo Boost Intel® Turbo Boost dynamically reroute power to improve performance. The processor will automatically overclock as long as the CPU temperature is allowed. Intel® Hyper Threading The thread-level parallelism on each processor makes more efficient use of the processor resources, higher processing throughout and improved performance on today's multi-threaded software. DDR3 memory support The Z8NR-D12 supports UDIMM and RDIMM DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1333/1066 MHZ to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of server and workstation applications. The 3-channel DDR3 architecture boosts system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidth of up to 32GB/s. 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. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
