Asus TS300-E7 PS4 Configuration Guide - Page 6

1.1 Key features The TS300-E7/PS4 is a single-socket pedestal server system based on quad/dualCore Intel® E3-1200/ Core™ i3-2100 processors and the Intel® C204PCH chipset with support for up to 32GB DDR3 1333MHz unbuffered ECC memory. This provides immediate performance upscaling and higher processing speeds. With 2 native SATA 6Gb/s ports, 4 hot-swap hard drive trays and ASUS PIKE cards, the TS300-E7/PS4 delivers improved data transfer rates, more flexible storage expansion and complete RAID for SMB users. The latest Intel® CPUs The TS300-E7/PS4 is ready for the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® 32nm quad/ dual-core UP processors, which offer a significant performance improvement over previous generation CPUs. Meanwhile, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 provides an efficient, dynamic and intelligent way to enhance performance on demand. Quad Intel® server-class Gigabit LAN Quad Intel® Gigabit LAN with teaming doubles bandwidth over standard dual LAN servers and supports better fault tolerance technology. Also, load balancing handles traffic for stronger and faster networking. IPv6 readiness resolves upcoming IPv4 address shortages even before they occur, hassle-free. ASUS PIKE upgrade kit for SAS storage The TS300-E7/PS4 offers optional and exclusive PIKE upgrade kits for users to boost storage from SATA to SAS. Multiple I/O options and the slim, flexible PIKE card let users switch to SAS RAID without sacrificing expansion capabilities. Flex-E technology for server/workstation dual use ASUS Flex-E provides flexible PCI-E configurations and auto-switching between a single PCI-E x16 link (graphics card supported) and twin PCI-E x8 link (for I/O expansion), allowing the product to work as a workstation for servers. FCC Class B certification and the optional rack mount kit make the TS300-E7/PS4 perfect as either a pedestal or 5U rack, and suitable for personal use or office applications. Considerate tool-less design To minimize maintenance hassles, the TS300-E7/PS4 uses a tool-less design in several components, including back fan module, optical devices, and PCI-E/ hard drive cages. These reduce the time and effort MIS needs to allocate for maintenance. Optional ASMB5-iKVM upgrade kit for easy management Optional ASMB5-iKVM upgrade kits provide BIOS-level remote real-time control of the system via keyboard, monitor and mouse (KVM over Ethernet) from any local computer. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
