DDR5 Support
（ SO-DIMM ）
This business motherboard is a DDR5-compatible motherboard that optimizes memory module speed and stability while also providing an advanced power delivery architecture for increased power efficiency.

PCIe 5.0 SafeSlot
PCIe 5.0 delivers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-intensive tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with previous versions of PCI Express. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to firmly install a card.

PCIe M.2 5.0
PCIe M.2 5.0 supports data transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps. This enables faster OS and application boot and load times.

USB 10Gbps Type-C®
A range of USB ports support high-end rigs with many peripherals, including a rear-panel USB Type-C® port with ultrafast USB 10Gbps for transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

Dual DlMM Clips
Dual memory clips provide double clamping force, preventing memory from jumping during transport.

ASUS Shield
Enhance system security from the ground up

ASUS Boot Defender
ASUS Boot Defender on ASUS Business motherboards is designed for automated protection, detection, and recovery from intrusions and attacks on the boot environment.

ASUS Self-recovering BIOS
The ASUS exclusive BIOS protection technology automatically restores the system BIOS with a verified backup in the event of an update failure, preventing the need to replace or reinstall hardware.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Hardware-based security offers better data protection, enhances network security, protects digital identities, and ensures platform integrity.

Compliant with NIST SP 800-193
ASUS Business motherboard with ASUS Boot Defender conforms to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines for Platform Firmware Resiliency to protect against potentially destructive attacks.

Certified with NIST SP 800-147
ASUS Business motherboard is certified with national computer security standards.

ASUS Secure Boot
ASUS Business motherboard is set to check the firmware and signature of each piece of boot software.

ASUS Boot Defender
ASUS Boot Defender ensures your PC is safe even before you boot the OS, providing extra protection beyond the OS environment. At boot, it verifies the BIOS code to detect attacks or corrupted firmware. It’s designed to automatically protect and repair compromised BIOS code to safeguard PCs from intrusion and attacks.

Protect
Provides enhanced BIOS protection and resilience through the ASUS Defender Controller

Detect
Detects corrupted or manipulated BIOS code at boot

Recover
Automatically repairs a corrupted BIOS using a backup of the ASUS BIOS

The ASUS Defender Controller uses hardware-based Root-of-Trust (ROT) with immutable and unbypassable boot firmware to establish a Chain-of-Trust (COT) with integrity for a secure computing system.

* The system with ASUS Boot Defender will automatically shut down after BIOS update through ASUS EZ Flash. Please press the power button to turn on the device.

ASUS Self-recovering BIOS
With ASUS Self-recovering BIOS
The user simply needs to restart the system and ASUS Self-recovering BIOS will revert to the last BIOS update.

Standard process to recover from BIOS update crashes
The user needs to follow the steps below to re-install the BIOS update:

ASUS Reliant
Guaranteed consistent performance with the best components and rigorous reliability testing

Anti-Moisture Coating
Protection from humidity and corrosion
An innovative moisture-resistant coating protects the motherboard in humid environments such as factories, libraries, data centers and internet cafes. It also minimizes internal corrosion by preventing the adhesion and migration of moisture, prolonging the life of the motherboard.

Anti-Sulfur Resistors
To ensure long-term reliability, ASUS Business motherboards are equipped with Anti-Sulfur Resistors. The resistors provide excellent sulfurization resistance by being constructed with a high-grade ceramic body (aluminum oxide). With Anti-Sulfur Resistors, the ASUS Business motherboard can be operated in harsh environments as well.

Stainless-Steel Back I/O Panel
3X corrosion-resistance for greater durability
Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium oxide have a lifespan that's three times longer than ordinary panels.

Overvoltage Protection
World-class circuit-protecting power design
An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect chipsets, connectivity ports, and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.

ESD Guards
Protection against electrostatic discharge
ASUS ESD Guards prevent damage from electrostatic discharge of up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/-15kV for contact discharge, arranged in an active protective circuit design that prolongs the life of components.

LANGuard
Enhanced throughput. 2.5X higher surge tolerance.
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors, ensuring a more reliable connection and better throughput, plus electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges.

24/7 Reliability Test
