Powerful performance with Intel^® Xeon^® W processor and ECC memory

WS C422 Sage/10G supports server-grade Intel^® Xeon^® W series processors to deliver powerful, optimized performance in always-on usage scenarios. Support for Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory enables automatic detection and repair of single-bit memory errors, reducing the chance of system crashes and data corruption to ensure reliable and responsive workstation performance.

High Speed networking with dual Intel^® 10G LAN

With built in dual Intel® 10GBASE-T networking, WS C422 Sage/10G increases data throughput and improves efficiency. This supports high-density, high-bandwidth and low-latency access-layer networks needed for extremely demanding applications, such as graphics or video production.

Ultimate graphics power with up to 4-way NVIDIA^® SLI^™ and AMD^® CrossFireX^™

WS C422 Sage/10G fits up to four dual-slot graphics cards and supports both NVIDIA^® SLI^™ and AMD CrossFireX^™ 4-way configurations to enable multi-GPU setups that harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies, including NVIDIA^® Quadro^®. NVIDIA^® Quadro^® is the perfect complement to WS C422 Sage/10G, delivering the best performance for design, modeling, medical research, and processing-intensive simulation and rendering applications.

ASUS Control Center

WS C422 Sage/10G features ASUS Control Center (ACC), a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, monitoring of multiple systems via mobile devices, and one-click software updates and dispatching, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.

Unleashed storage speeds of up to 32Gbps

WS C422 Sage/10G features dual onboard M.2 and U.2 slots that support up to 32Gbps, which one with vertical design supporting 22110-length SSDs to reduce used space.

Next-gen transfer speeds

WS C422 Sage/10G 's front panel USB 3.1 connector is ready for next-gen PC cases and devices. With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, you'll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

Multiple Ultra-efficient heatsinks

Designed for the powerful Intel^® Xeon^® scalable processor with up to 28 cores, WS C422 Sage/10G features a capable thermal design to ensure maximum performance with no CPU throttling.

Consisting of an ultra-efficient VRM heatsink with a metal fin array design that maximizes surface area for heat dissipation, plus two additional heatsinks and a connecting heatpipe to further increase cooling performance, this innovative thermal design ensures WS C422 Sage/10G is always ready to handle any task, no matter how demanding.

With its dual PLX chips that increase the number of available PCIe lanes to enable 4-way GPU configurations, WS C422 Sage/10G features a robust thermal solution to dissipate the heat that comes with routing so much high-speed traffic. An additional heatsink array and heatpipe cover the PLX chips and are positioned in the path of maximum airflow within the chassis, reducing PLX temperatures by up to 20° C to ensure optimal cooling and system stability.

SafeSlot

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.
