MR server board. The server supports Intel
®
LGA1150 Xeon
®
E3-1200 v3 processors with
the latest technologies through the chipsets onboard
with support for up to 32GB of DDR3
1333Hz unbuffered ECC memory.
Upscaled performance increases processing speeds, while the super-quiet design makes the
TS100-E8-PI4 ideal for professional environments where noise reduction is important.
The latest Intel
®
CPUs
The TS100-E8-PI4 is ready for new-generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
22nm processors, which deliver a
significant performance improvement over previous-generation CPUs.
Energy saving and super-quiet tower server perfect for SMBs
The ASUS TS100-E8-PI4 is an entry-level tower server supporting the latest Intel
®
Xeon
®
E3-1200 v3 processor family with onboard RAID and complete remote server management
through ASWM Enterprise. It also features an 80 PLUS Bronze power supply for enhanced
energy savings, and facilitates work environments as quiet as 27dB (under idle mode), which
is significantly quieter even than the average projector.
PCI Express 3.0-ready with workstation expandability
The TS100-E8-PI4 ships with one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, designed to accommodate the
power of graphics cards and other add-on components. To ensure flexibility, it has a PCI
slot for legacy LAN card, graphics card, and audio card applications. A dedicated MIO slot
provides customers additional audio capability options through ASUS MIO cards.
Ultra-quiet and energy saving
The TS100-E8-PI4 performs as quiet as a low 27dB (under idle mode), which is less than the
noise output of a projector (average 42dB). It therefore offers a super-quiet environment, and
ships with an 80 PLUS Bronze power supply to reduce power loss and power consumption,
helping consumers save on energy bills.
Comprehensive remote management
ASUS presents the most complete remote server control, with ASWM Enterprise providing
“one on many” usage. ASWM Enterprise‘s centralized design gives administrators access
to BIOS updates, remote control, and power supervision on all servers simultaneously.
IT professionals don’t have to monitor servers one by one, but can instead use ASWM
Enterprise to check the status of all servers through a friendly graphical user interface.
