Asus Pro WS Z890-ACE SE Schematic
In terms of external connectivity, this board is well equipped with one Thunderbolt 4 port, which is Type C and can be used as a USB port as well, plus seven more USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. For networking, a pair of Ethernet ports are available - one 2.5 and one 10Gbps - as well as a third RJ45 for IPMI remote management. Notably, WiFi and Bluetooth are not built into this board. For video output, there is an HDMI output for use with the Intel Xe-LPG graphics built into the CPU as well as a VGA port connected to the IPMI.
Internally this motherboard has four DDR5 memory slots, supporting up to 192GB of RAM. For storage, there are four SATA III ports and four M.2 slots. Three expansion slots available to handle a variety of expansion card configurations: two PCIe 5.0 slots (operating as one x16 or two x8 slots) and one PCIe 4.0 (only x4 mode).
