4U Rack Server Asus ESC8000A-E12P-SKU4 — 2× AMD EPYC 9004 support, 24× DDR5 DIMM, 3 TB max, 8× 2.5" hot-swap, 3000W PSU, 10G

Asus ESC8000A-E12P-SKU4 is a 4U rack server designed for high-density compute and GPU-accelerated workloads. It supports up to two AMD EPYC 9004 series processors in LGA 6096 sockets and up to 24 DDR5 DIMM modules for a maximum internal memory of 3 TB. The chassis accepts eight 2.5" hot-swap drives (HDD or SSD), includes TPM 2.0, integrated network interfaces and a 3000 W 80 PLUS Titanium power supply, making it suitable for data center AI, HPC and virtualization deployments.

Advantages

The server provides dual-processor support for scalable CPU performance and 24 DDR5 DIMM slots to reach up to 3 TB of memory. A 3000 W 80 PLUS Titanium power supply delivers high-efficiency power for demanding workloads while the 4U rack design concentrates compute density in a compact chassis. Hot-swap 2.5" bays and enterprise I/O—including dual RJ-45 LAN, a dedicated management LAN, USB 3.2 Gen1, VGA and COM—simplify maintenance and integration into existing infrastructure. TPM 2.0 adds platform security support.

Suitable for

• AI training and inference clusters
• High-performance computing (HPC)
• Virtualization and large-scale VMs
• Database and analytics workloads
• GPU-accelerated compute farms

How to use

Install the server in a standard 19" rack with adequate airflow and cooling for a 4U unit. Populate processors, memory modules and storage drives according to Asus guidance and the chosen workload requirements. Connect AC power within 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz range and attach network and management cables to the appropriate LAN ports. Configure firmware, RAID and operating system using vendor-provided utilities and enable TPM 2.0 if platform security is required.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation in data center environments, maintain ambient operating temperatures between 10 °C and 35 °C, ensure redundant power and cooling where required, and use qualified DDR5 RDIMM modules at supported speeds. Follow vendor instructions for processor installation and thermal management when deploying high-density GPU or compute configurations.
