Description
The ASUS RS501A-E12-RS12U is a high-performance 1U rack server engineered for enterprise environments requiring exceptional compute density and scalability. Powered by the AMD EPYC 9005 / 9004 Series processors, it delivers advanced performance with support for up to 360 W TDP—ideal for virtualization, database, and general-purpose workloads.
Designed with 24 DDR5 DIMM slots (12-channel architecture), the system supports up to 3 TB of high-speed 6400 MHz memory, ensuring optimal throughput and responsiveness for mission-critical operations. The chassis accommodates 12 front hot-swap 2.5" bays, expandable via an optional 4-bay internal mid-cage, offering up to 16 total drives for maximum storage flexibility.
For expandability, the RS501A-E12-RS12U provides 3 PCIe Gen5 slots plus an OCP 3.0 socket, allowing installation of advanced NICs, RAID controllers, or GPU accelerators. Connectivity is managed through dual Gigabit LAN ports and a dedicated management port powered by the ASPEED AST2600 BMC.
With redundant 1200 W Platinum or 1600 W Titanium power supplies, comprehensive management through ASMB11-iKVM and ASUS Control Center, and a compact 1U chassis, this server delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for modern data centers.
