1.3 Special features

1.3.1 Product highlights

Latest processor technology

The motherboard comes with two LGA-771 sockets that support Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon™ processors with 1600/1333/1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores to meet demands for more powerful processing. Intel® Xeon™ processors incorporate the Intel

Extended Memory 64-bit Technology, enabling the support for 64-bit operation

system, such as 64-bit Windows® and Linux. See page 2-9 for details.

Intel® Seaburg and Intel® ESB2E chipset

The Intel® Seaburg Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel® ESB2E provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard. The MCH provides two channels for processor, quad-channel FB-DIMM memory support, and two PCI Express 2.0 interfaces. The Intel® ESB2E is a new generation server class I/O controller hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3, PCI Express, and PCIX.

Intel® EM64T

The motherboard supports Intel processors with the Intel® EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology). The Intel® EM64T feature allows your computer to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster

and more efcient computing.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST)

The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement.

FB-DIMM memory support

This motherboard supports fully buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs), the latest memory solution that extends memory capacity and provide high-speed, high-density system memory peformance. FB-DIMMs use Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chips that transmit signals between the memory modules and controllers with improved signal integrity and reduced errors. See page 2-14 for details.

PCIe 2.0

This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 device for twice the current speed and bandwidth. This enhances system performance while still providing backward compatibility to PCIe 1.0 devices. See page 2-21 for details.

1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction

Dual Gigabit LAN solution

The integrated dual Gigabit LAN design allows a PC to serve as a network gateway

for managing trafc between two separate networks. This capability ensures rapid

transfer of data from WAN to LAN without any added arbitration or latency. See page 2-27 for details.

Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s technology and SATA-On-The-Go

This motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA

(SATA) 3Gb/s storage specication, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling

the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents to external devices. See pages 2-27 and 2-31 for details.

IEEE 1394a support

The IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/video appliances such as digital television, digital video camcorders, storage peripherals & other PC portable devices. See page 2-27 for details.

G.P. Diagnosis card

Bundled with Z7S WS motherboard (retail version), the G.P. Diagnosis card assists users in system checking by effortlessly and quickly providing precise system checks right after they switch on their PCs. See page 2-40 for details.

ASUS SASsaby cards support

This motherboard is fully compatible with ASUS SASsaby cards (optional). Faster, safer and more stable, SAS will provide users with a better choice for storage expansion and upgrade needs. See page 2-22 for details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via coaxial and optical S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) jacks. It allows to transfer digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality. See page 2-28 for details.

ASUS Z7S WS 1-3

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC WINBOND C.S W83793G chip to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. See page 4-28 for details.

1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features

CrashFree BIOS 3

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 4-8 for details.

ASUS MemCool FB-DIMM Fan Kit (optional)

With this optional fan kit, the platform gets optimal performance and the best possible FB-DIMM thermal environment. See page 2-18 for details.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction

This chapter lists the hardware setup procedures that you have to perform when installing system components. It includes description of the jumpers and connectors on the motherboard.
