ASUS RS720A-E13-RS8G Socket SP5 Rack (2U) Zwart, Zilver

Asus RS720A-E13-RS8G is a 2U rack server engineered for enterprise data center workloads. It supports up to two AMD EPYC 9005 processors in Socket SP5 and provides 24 DDR5 DIMM slots for a maximum internal memory capacity of 3 TB. The unit includes integrated Aspeed AST2600 management graphics, eight 2.5" drive bays, onboard Ethernet, Mini DisplayPort output and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, all in a standard 2U chassis suitable for high‑density memory and dual‑processor environments.

Advantages

The server offers high memory capacity and density through support for 24 DDR5 RDIMM/3DS modules and up to 3 TB total memory, combined with scalable CPU performance from dual AMD EPYC 9005 processors. Its 2U rack form balances compute and storage capacity with eight front 2.5" drive bays. Integrated Aspeed AST2600 graphics provides basic remote management and the standard network and USB connectivity simplify integration into existing data center racks.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• Database servers and in‑memory workloads
• Cloud and enterprise application servers
• Compute‑dense environments requiring dual‑socket systems

How to use

Install the server into a compatible 2U rack slot, connect power and network interfaces, and follow AMD and Asus guidelines when installing CPUs into the Socket SP5 sockets. Populate DDR5 RDIMM/3DS modules across the 24 DIMM slots according to the memory population rules in the server manual to reach the required capacity and performance. Install 2.5" drives into the front bays and configure storage (RAID or software) as needed. Use the Mini DisplayPort or the onboard Aspeed AST2600 remote management features for initial setup and monitoring. Ensure appropriate power, cooling and cabling per data center best practices.

Recommendations

For best results with virtualization and database workloads, populate memory symmetrically across channels and use both processor sockets when higher core counts and parallelism are required. Maintain the recommended temperature and humidity ranges and implement adequate rack cooling and power redundancy.
