The 2U ASUS RS520A-E12-RS12U Server is powered by a single 4th Generation AMD EPYC 9004 series processor with up to 128 Zen 4c cores and a TDP of up to 400W. CPUs with AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology are also compatible. This system supports up to 4x single-slot GPUs or 2x double-slot GPUs such as the NVIDIA A100 and A40, or AMD Instinct, and Xilinx GPU alternatives. Additionally, it can support up to 6TB of DDR5 memory running at maximum speeds of up to 4800MHz when all 24x memory slots are filled.
ASUS RS520A-E12-RS12U Server - System Overview
The AMD-based RS520A-E12-RS24U server delivers 12x 3.5” hot-swap drive bays on the front panel for NVMe, SAS, or SATA configurations. The rear of the chassis supports an additional 2x 2.5” SATA hot-swap drive bays, plus another 2x connectors on the motherboard for NVMe M.2 drives to boot the operating system. It offers up to 5x PCIe Gen5 slots with 32GT/s bandwidth, which is twice the speed of PCIe 4.0. The following PCIe slots are available: 2x PCIe Gen5 x16 or 4x PCIe Gen5 x8 slots, 1x PCIe Gen5 x8 slot, as well as 1x OCP3.0 PCIe Gen5 x16 slot. The chassis can be equipped with 1+1 redundant 1600W 80 PLUS Titanium power supplies or 1+1 redundant 1600W/1200W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies.
The ASUS ASMB11-iKVM, integrated with the ASPEED AST2600 module on the motherboard, facilitates remote management. Through the web-based ASUS Control Center, users can manage software updates, hardware, and other system components. Access requires a license, enabling administrators to efficiently monitor workstations, servers, and other equipment from a centralized location.
