RS700-E8-RS4 V2’s internal layout is optimized for rack-mountedconfigurations, with both the CPU and memory placed in a parallel arrangementdirectly behind the fan inlet to promote maximum cooling for increasedefficiency— and that makes it perfect for datacenters.
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.
