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.

2+2 expansion slots

RS700-E8-RS4 V2 has high expandability with one Full-high PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot (x16 link) and one Low-profile PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot (x8 link), plus one proprietary PCI Express 3.0 x8 (x8 link) for the optional ASUS PIKE II card and one PCI Express 3.0 x8 (x8 link) for mezzanine cards, 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 and high scalability in a 1U case.

Premium components for premium efficiency

RS700-E8-RS4 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 80 PLUS 800W Platinum power supplies, it delivers great durability and up to 94% power efficiency. The 1+1 power supply design allows the server to keep working even if one power supply requires maintenance, enabling uninterrupted operation. RS700-E8-RS4 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.

Instant Deployment

RS700-E8-RS4 V2 benefits from an exclusive tool-less rail kit design, easing deployment for systems administrators for increased efficiency. RS700-E8-RS4 V2 includes a front-side VGA port, so you’re able to connect a display quickly and easily. The server also carries an asset tag for fast and accurate identification within a cabinet. RS700-E8-RS4 V2 also offers great freedom when it comes to the choice of operating system drive type and placement, with M.2 slot available.

Complete Remote Server Management

With the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant ASMB8-iKVM module in RS700-E8-RS4 V2, 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.
