Product introduction
Chapter 1: Product introduction1-2
1.1 Key features
High performance 1U server with great expandability and
exibility
The RS700-X7/PS4 is a space-saving 1U server featuring high memory and
storage capacity, exible RAID, 2+1 expansion slots, 80 PLUS Gold power supply,
and quad LAN. It's designed for telecom server centers, IDC, and all small and
medium businesses facing space constraints.
Optimized cooling design
Front-parallel CPU and memory placement guides smooth airow throughout the
chassis, while intelligent fan control technology adjusts fan speeds automatically
based on system load.
Flexible 2+1 expansion in a 1U chassis
Despite 1U space requirements, the RS700-X7/PS4 manages to offer two PCI
Express 3.0 slots and one extra slot dedicated to exclusive ASUS PIKE cards,
helping users with better server integration.
Upto92%powerefciency
Maintaining the ASUS commitment to environmental protection, the RS700-X7/PS4
is equipped with a 600W 80 PLUS Gold power supply to reduce power loss and
consumption. As such, it lowers power bills to save users money with up to 92%
power efciency.
Innovative storage and RAID
The RS700-X7/PS4 supports optional ASUS PIKE RAID upgrade kits. With a PIKE
card, users can integrate server functions into data security, and upgrade from
SATA to SAS storage without occupying the two PCI Express 3.0 slots. This gives
users better exibility through more storage options.
High availability and reliability
The RS700-X7/PS4 uses hot-swap features for high availability and easy
upgrades, allowing users to replace drive modules with no hassles. Additionally,
the proprietary ASUS anti-vibration fan module cage provides superior cooling with
no reliability compromise.
Quad LAN support
Four LAN ports provide high networking bandwidth with load balance and fault
tolerance functions. The server supports ASUS and most other available 10Gb/s
LAN cards for extra-fast networking.

Outstanding computing capabilities
With support for new Intel® Sandy Bridge Socket R/LGA 2011 and 12 DIMM
memory slots, the RS700-X7/PS4 provides improved computing power for
customers that demand an extensive range of applications.
Onboard ASMB6-iKVM remote management upgrade kit
The exclusive ASUS ASMB6-iKVM enables dashboard system health monitoring,
remote power on/off control, virtual media over LAN, automatic video recording,
and network bonding support. In addition, the ASMB6 function is based on BIOS-
level access, so even if the server operating system is down, the KVM module
can still provide round-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnosis through a user-
friendly graphical user interface.
