ASUS DASH LAN Card - Remote Management Adapter

The ASUS DASH LAN Card is a dedicated remote management adapter designed for select ASUS ProArt, Workstation, and Server motherboards equipped with a DASH header. It enables out-of-band (OOB) management independent of the host operating system, providing IT administrators with full remote control over system power, KVM, virtual media, and BIOS updates. Powered directly via the motherboard DASH header, this add-on module integrates a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit Ethernet controller and a dedicated management port for secure, always-on connectivity.
