Original Press Release:
ASUS RS100-E5/PI2-Super Quiet & Compact 1U Server with Intel 45nm Technology Readiness
Taipei, Taiwan, March 21, 2008 - ASUS, a leading company in the new digital era, has recently launched its latest 1U server - the ASUS RS100-E5/PI2, a Quad-Core/ Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® 3000 series platform, that features support for the new Intel 45nm processor and FSB 1333/1066MHz. Providing super quiet operations, it is a space-saving uni-processor (UP) Green server that incorporates great energy savings - making it an ideal platform for home users, SMB, SOHO, IDC, TELCOM and client system that require quiet working environments.
Excellent Smart FAN Control Technology
Strict acoustic tests have shown that the RS100-E5/PI2 performs excellently in acoustic control (under 29dBA under Quad-Core mode) - lower than that of a projector (42dB), and facilitates customers who desire a quiet working environment.
Best Energy Saving Platform
The RS100-E5/PI2 is an energy saving server that features an 80+ PFC server power supply. Built with ASUS' Green Server Design in mind, it is able to reduce energy loss and provide a high power efficiency and cooler thermal solution - helping customers save more on their power bills.
High Memory Support & Cost-effective Data Protection
As a uni-processor server, the RS100-E5/PI2 provides 4-dimm slots to support up to 8GB DDR2 800/667 ECC memory - more than competent for daily computing tasks. The server also offers customers with RAID 0, 1 functions for cost-effective data protection under Windows & Linux.
Dual GbE LAN Support Teaming & Failover
Equipped with dual PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet functions, the RS100-E5/PI2 is capable of higher bandwidth aggregation and reliable networking based on failover and load balance functions.
Provide One Slot for Modular IPMI 2.0 BMC Support
An optional ASUS ASMB3-SOL Card (Out-of-band monitor/troubleshooting) provides security and extends remote offline serviceability functions with IPMI2.0 Serial Over LAN standards - significantly saving MIS efforts for maintenance and minimizes system downtime.
