ASUS RS700A-E13-RS12U LGA 6096P Rack (1U) Nero, Argento

ASUS RS700A-E13-RS12U is a 2U rackmount server designed for data center and enterprise workloads. It supports up to two AMD EPYC 9005 processors on Socket SP5, provides 24 DDR5 DIMM slots for a maximum of 3.07 TB RDIMM memory at 5600 MT/s, and offers twelve hot-swap 2.5" bays compatible with NVMe HDDs and SSDs. The system includes an integrated Aspeed AST2600 BMC with 64 MB video memory and IPMI support, TPM 2.0 security, dual redundant 2000 W 80 PLUS Titanium power supplies, and a front chassis with eight fans for active cooling.

Advantages

The server combines high CPU density with large memory capacity and extensive NVMe storage in a 2U chassis, delivering PCIe 5.0 expansion via two x16 slots and two OCP 3.0 ports. Redundant 2 kW power supplies with 80 PLUS Titanium efficiency and a dedicated BMC with IPMI and TPM 2.0 provide reliability, remote management and platform security. Hot-swap 2.5" bays and support for both HDD and SSD simplify maintenance and storage scalability.

How to use

Install the server into a standard 19-inch equipment rack using appropriate rails for the 2U chassis. Populate processors and DDR5 RDIMM modules according to the motherboard documentation to achieve optimal memory channel balance. Mount 2.5" NVMe or SATA drives into the hot-swap bays and connect network and power cables to redundant AC inputs. Configure BMC/IPMI for remote management and enable TPM 2.0 in firmware settings if platform security is required. Follow the vendor’s installation and firmware update guides for OS installation and driver setup.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in data center environments, maintain ambient temperature within the 10–35 °C range, ensure adequate rack airflow for the 8-fan cooling system, and use both redundant power supplies. Balance memory population across channels for best performance and use NVMe drives for latency-sensitive workloads.
