ASUS Server Barebones

Build a custom server using ASUS® server barebones that come with a motherboard, case and power supply. Consider the workspace orientation to determine whether you need the tower or the rackmount server barebone. Match the CPU count and type with the CPU socket of the motherboard. Intel® and AMD® sockets are compatible with Intel and AMD processors respectively. Establishing the form factor will help you determine the casing or space you need for the server. Ensure your selection has the necessary expansion slots to accommodate the peripheral devices you might require.

ASUS Server Barebones That Fit Your Workspace

Choose between the ASUS tower barebone or the rackmount. A rackmount requires installation into a server chassis, allowing the user to condense the server components into a suitable carrier. A rackmount offers reliable cable management, and allows vertical stacking of other servers and peripherals, making them good for large organizations. Tower barebones resemble desktop barebone PCs, and have a relatively low component density, allowing more natural cooling of the hardware.

ASUS Server Barebones Are Compatible With Intel and AMD Processors

Ensure the CPU type and count matches with the CPU socket of the motherboard. Intel-compatible barebones like ASUS RS100-E10-PI2 1U will require the installation of a LGA 115 Intel processor. Other Intel-compatible CPU socket types include LGA 1151, LGA 2066, LGA 3647 and LGA 1150, popular for use in small business domains. Barebones with dual-socket models like the ASUS RS520-E8-RS8 V2 and ASUS RS520-E9-RS12-E 2U models support multiple CPU connectivity to improve speed and performance for users with substantial data requests. Barebones with Socket SP3, 940 and 938 are compatible with AMD processors.

Server Barebones That Fit Into Server Racks Simplify Cabling

ASUS rackmount servers have bays that hold hardware components with screws, enabling easier and convenient mounting and unmounting of hardware. A rack unit (U, equal to 44.45mm) denotes the vertical space the server will occupy. Rackmount barebone servers range from the minimal space 1U and 2U servers to the large 10U barebones like the RS500A-E10-RS12U rackmount for large workgroups. The ability to have the ASUS barebone system on a rack saves space, enhances airflow for server components and protects against dust, liquid spillage and pests.

Barebones With Expansion Slots for Installation of Add-in Cards

ASUS server barebones come with SATA interfaces to connect mini-PC barebones and peripheral devices like hard drives. SATA III (SATA 600) accommodates a bandwidth throughput of 600MB/S with 6Gb/S speeds to provide you with reliable write speed rates. Consider barebones with six, eight or 12 SATA connection ports, depending on the number of peripheral devices you want to connect onto the server. Barebones with dual serial ATA connection types like the ASUS RS300-E8-PS4 1U Rackmount Server Barebone have SATA 600 and SATA 300 ports with a bandwidth of 300Mb/s, expanding your device connectivity options. ASUS server barebones with a video card expansion interface like the PCIe® x16 slot allow for the installation of video adapters, and are more recommendable for users with multi-display or 3D acceleration needs.
