RS500-E8-PS4 V2, High-efficiency cooling and lower powerconsumption.

The RS500-E8-PS4 V2 internal layout is optimized for rack-mountedconfigurations, with optimized fan speed control and anadjustable-fan-curve feature. Advanced air-ducting technologyallows RS500-E8-PS4 V2 to work at high operating temperature andwith an 80 PLUS Gold power-supply unit (PSU) up to 94% VRefficiency!

ASUS PIKE II and 12G SAS Integration
ASUS PIKE II offers the latest 12Gb/s SAS together with PCI-E 3.0solution. While ASUS latest 12Gb/s SAS doubles the data raterunning at twice the speed of the previous generation, PCI-E 3.0offers high reliability and faster speed connection. ASUS PIKE IImeets user needs with support for 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS storageand integrated RAID data protection. Just placing the PIKE II cardcan immediately enlarge the capacity, improve the performance, andstrengthen the signaling, making it the great upgrade option. Additionally, multiple HBAs allow multi-paths which improve overperformance.

2+1 expansion
RS500-E8-PS4 V2 has high expandability with 2+1 expansion slots ina configuration: that means one PCI-E Gen3x16 slot, one PCI-EGen3x8 slot, plus one PCI-E Gen3x8 slot Mezzanine card for OCPapplications, such as the OCP 10Gbit/s LAN card. This flexibleexpansion offers diverse applications in storage and networking tomeeting the demands of future expansion.

Premium components for premium efficiency
RS500-E8-PS4 V2 benefits from premium components hand-chosen andcarefully arranged by ASUS engineers to provide premium efficiency. With ASUS Beat Thermal Chokes, Dr. MOS and Single 600W 80PLUS GoldPower Supply, it delivers great durability and up to 94% powerefficiency. The Single 600W 80PLUS Gold Power Supply design allowsthe server to keep working even if one power supply requiresmaintenance, enabling uninterrupted operation. RS500-E8-PS4 V2 hasdurable 12k solid capacitors that are able to withstand up to 12, 000 hours of high ambient temperatures. These 12K capacitors alsoboast lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) for increasedefficiency and minimal heat generation.

Instant Deployment
RS500-E8-PS4 V2 includes a front-side VGA port, so youre able toconnect a display quickly and easily. RS500-E8-PS4 V2 also benefitsfrom an exclusive tool-less rail kit design, easing deployment forsystems administrators for increased efficiency.
The server also carries an asset tag for fast identification. RS500-E8-PS4 V2 also offers great freedom when it comes to thechoice of operating system drive type and placement, with both M.2slot for independent OS available.

Easy Diagnostic and Management
RS500-E8-PS4 V2 has a built-in Q-Code/port 80 LED display LED forsimple monitoring of the entire boot process, from the earlyhardware-awakening stages to the launch of the operating system andbeyond. A bright CPU and Memory LED on board lets you check theservers status instantly. With the Intelligent Platform ManagementInterface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant ASMB8-iKVM module in RS500-E8-PS4V2, youll be able to monitor, control and manage the serverremotely.
