ASUS RS700A-E11-RS12U 1U Rackmount Barebone Server 2 x Socket SP3 Up to 3 x Expansion Slots + 1 x Internal PIKE Slot

The ASUS RS700A-E11-RS12U-WOCPU044Z is a 1U rackmount barebone server that delivers serious compute density in a compact chassis. It arrives ready to house up to two AMD EPYC processors, so you can start with a single CPU for lighter tasks or scale to a dual-socket build when workloads become more demanding.

Each processor slot supports the EPYC 7003 or 7002 family, offering up to 64 cores per CPU. To keep those cores fed, the motherboard provides thirty two DIMM slots that hold as much as 4096 GB of DDR4 memory. This capacity makes the server well suited for memory-intensive jobs such as large database instances, real-time analytics, and virtualization clusters.

For storage, twelve front-facing 2.5 inch drive bays allow hot-swap changes without shutting the system down. The bays accept NVMe, SATA, or SAS drives, letting you mix high-throughput NVMe SSDs with cost-efficient SATA or SAS options in the same chassis. If peak I/O is a priority, you can populate all twelve bays with NVMe devices and create a solid-state array that keeps data-hungry applications moving at full speed.

The platform includes three PCIe 4.0 expansion slots and one internal PIKE slot, giving you room for faster network adapters, additional storage controllers, or even a dual-slot GPU to accelerate AI inference and HPC workloads. This flexibility means the server can adapt as project requirements evolve, whether you need more bandwidth, more storage, or specialized acceleration cards.

Two 1600 W power supplies provide redundancy and reach 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency, helping keep racks online while trimming energy costs. Remote administrators gain full access through the onboard ASMB10-iKVM module, which offers secure, out-of-band management for firmware updates, hardware monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Because of its slim 1U form factor, the server slots neatly into dense data center racks, edge locations, or colocation facilities where every rack unit counts. Research labs, cloud service providers, and enterprises running virtualization, container orchestration, or AI frameworks will find the balance of compute performance, storage flexibility, and power efficiency especially valuable.
