Server rack platform Asus RS720A-E13-RS24G 2U AMD, 24x 2.5" bays, 2x SP5 CPU, 24 DIMM DDR5, 3 TB max, Aspeed AST2600

Asus RS720A-E13-RS24G is a 2U rackmount server platform designed for dual-socket AMD EPYC 9005 systems with Socket SP5. It provides high memory density with 24 DIMM slots supporting DDR5 RDIMM and 3DS RDIMM modules up to a total of 3 TB, integrated Aspeed AST2600 graphics with 64 MB video memory, and 24 front-accessible 2.5" drive bays for dense storage configurations. The chassis includes multiple I/O ports including four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, one RJ-45 Ethernet LAN and one Mini DisplayPort, and is intended for data center, virtualization and storage workloads in standard 2U racks.

Advantages

The platform supports two Socket SP5 processors for scalable compute, a large memory capacity of up to 3 TB across 24 DDR5 DIMM slots, and a compact 2U rack form factor with 24 front 2.5" bays for high-density storage. Integrated Aspeed AST2600 graphics provides basic remote management and display capability, while multiple USB and network interfaces facilitate connectivity and peripherals.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• High-density storage servers and scale-out storage arrays
• Database and analytics nodes requiring large memory capacity
• Data-center rack deployments with space-constrained 2U requirements

How to use

Install the server in a standard 2U rack bay and populate CPUs, memory modules and drives according to technical and cooling guidelines. Connect required power and network cables, attach peripherals to the provided USB and display ports as needed, and configure firmware/BIOS settings for processor and memory recognition. Follow vendor instructions for drive population and RAID or storage controller setup when configuring the 2.5" bays.

Usage recommendations

Operate the server in a controlled data-center environment within the specified temperature range (10–35 °C) and recommended airflow. Use supported DDR5 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM modules and follow Asus guidelines for memory population to achieve the stated 3 TB maximum. For dense storage deployments, ensure adequate cooling and power provisioning for populated 24-bay configurations.
