<b>Quad CPUs and dual GPUs in 2U</b>
The RS924A-E6/RS8 delivers outstanding performance with up to four 4/8/12/16-core AMD OpteronTM 6200 series processors. There are also 32 DDR3 DIMM slots to support up to 512GB (RDIMM) memory. Furthermore, the ability to carry two double-deck graphics cards enables intense computing and graphics handling potential.
<b>Energy-saving with 1+1 80 PLUS Platinum level power supply</b>
Featuring a 1+1 80 PLUS Platinum level power supply module, the RS924A-E6/RS8 has power efficiency of up to 94%. The 1+1 power supply design makes hot swapping and real time maintenance easy without shutting down the server.
<b>High speed interconnection for HPC</b>
To meet the demands of data center, cloud computing, and HPC applications, the RS924A-E6/RS8 has a QFSP port at the rear panel to deliver high speed interconnection (40Gbps) from a built-in InfiniBand™ QDR chipset.
<b>Superior reliability with PIKE upgrade kit</b>
To improve storage capacity, the RS924A-E6/RS8 supports SATA or SAS hard drives and offers users complete RAID compatibility (together with PIKE) for data protection. The optional ASUS PIKE SAS2 6Gb/s upgrade kit provides cost-effective storage interface upgradability and the flexibility of multiple storage options.
<b>Real-time remote server management</b>
To improve server manageability, users can choose the ASMB5-iKVM module, which provides real time web-based management and remote system control (KVM-over-IP) from any local computer.
