Effective cooling with
Rack-optimized design
RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 offers excellent thermal solution, heat dissipation and
energy savings. It’s even possible to adjust the fan speed manually, so you
have flexible control to meet different working environment. Advanced
air-ducting technology and high efficiency 2U heat sink allows RS520-E8-RS12-E V2
to work at high operating temperature.
ASUS PIKE II
& 12G SAS Integration
ASUS PIKE II offers the latest
12Gb/s SAS together with PCI-E 3.0 solution. While ASUS latest 12Gb/s SAS doubles
the data rate running at twice the speed of the previous generation, PCI-E 3.0
offers high reliability and faster speed connection. ASUS PIKE II meets user
needs with support for 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS storage and integrated RAID
data protection. Just placing the PIKE II card can immediately enlarge the
capacity, improve the performance, and strengthen the signaling, making it the
great upgrade option. Additionally, multiple HBAs allow multi-paths which
improve over performance.
3+1 expansion
RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 has high expandability with 3+1 expansion ports in a
configuration: that means one PCI-E Gen3x16 slot, one PCI-E Gen3x8 slot, plus
one PCI-E Gen3x8 slot OCP Mezzanine card for OCP such as the OCP 10Gbit/s LAN
card. This flexible expansion offers diverse applications in storage and networking
to meeting the demands of future expansion.
Premium components for premium
efficiency
RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 benefits from premium components hand-chosen and
carefully arranged by ASUS engineers to provide premium efficiency. With ASUS
Beat Thermal Chokes, Dr. MOS and 1+1 Redundant 770W 80PLUS Platinum Power Supply,
it delivers great durability and up to 94% power efficiency. The 1+1 Redundant
770W 80PLUS Platinum Power Supply design allows the server to keep working even if
one power supply requires maintenance, enabling uninterrupted operation.
RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 has durable 12k solid capacitors that are able to withstand
up to 12,000 hours of high ambient temperatures. These 12K capacitors also
boast lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) for increased efficiency and
minimal heat generation.
Easy Diagnostic and Deployment
RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 has a built-in Q-code/port 80 LED display panel for
simple monitoring of the entire boot process, from the early hardware-awakening
stages to the launch of the operating system and beyond. A bright power lamp on
the rear lets you check the server’s status instantly. RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 also
benefits from an exclusive tool-less rail kit design, easing deployment for
systems administrators for increased efficiency.
User friendly design
The server also carries an asset tag for fast identification.
RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 also offers great freedom when it comes to the choice of
operating system drive type and placement, with both M.2 slot for independent
OS available.
Complete Remote Server Management
With the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant
ASMB8-iKVM module in RS520-E8-RS12-E V2 and you’ll be able to monitor, control
and manage the server remotely. ASUS Server Web-based Management (ASWM)
Enterprise has a simple and intuitive web-based graphical user interface. Save
time and effort by flashing the BIOS remotely, use the new screen-recording
function for quick and easy trouble-shooting and exploit the many efficiency
benefits of one-to-many centralized management afforded by ASWM Enterprise.
