1.1 Key features
The TS300-E7/PS4 is a single-socket pedestal server system based on quad/dual-
Core Intel
®
E3-1200/ Core™ i3-2100 processors and the Intel
®
C204PCH chipset
with support for up to 32GB DDR3 1333MHz unbuffered ECC memory. This
provides immediate performance upscaling and higher processing speeds. With
2 native SATA 6Gb/s ports, 4 hot-swap hard drive trays and ASUS PIKE cards,
the TS300-E7/PS4 delivers improved data transfer rates, more exible storage
expansion and complete RAID for SMB users.
The latest Intel
®
CPUs
The TS300-E7/PS4 is ready for the latest generation of Intel
®
Xeon
®
32nm quad/
dual-core UP processors, which offer a signicant performance improvement over
previous generation CPUs. Meanwhile, Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 provides
an efcient, dynamic and intelligent way to enhance performance on demand.
Quad Intel
®
server-class Gigabit LAN
Quad Intel
®
Gigabit LAN with teaming doubles bandwidth over standard dual
LAN servers and supports better fault tolerance technology. Also, load balancing
handles trafc for stronger and faster networking. IPv6 readiness resolves
upcoming IPv4 address shortages even before they occur, hassle-free.
ASUS PIKE upgrade kit for SAS storage
The TS300-E7/PS4 offers optional and exclusive PIKE upgrade kits for users to
boost storage from SATA to SAS. Multiple I/O options and the slim, exible PIKE
card let users switch to SAS RAID without sacricing expansion capabilities.
Flex-E technology for server/workstation dual use
ASUS Flex-E provides exible PCI-E congurations and auto-switching between
a single PCI-E x16 link (graphics card supported) and twin PCI-E x8 link (for I/O
expansion), allowing the product to work as a workstation for servers. FCC Class
B certication and the optional rack mount kit make the TS300-E7/PS4 perfect as
either a pedestal or 5U rack, and suitable for personal use or ofce applications.
Considerate tool-less design
To minimize maintenance hassles, the TS300-E7/PS4 uses a tool-less design
in several components, including back fan module, optical devices, and PCI-E/
hard drive cages. These reduce the time and effort MIS needs to allocate for
maintenance.
Optional ASMB5-iKVM upgrade kit for easy management
Optional ASMB5-iKVM upgrade kits provide BIOS-level remote real-time control of
the system via keyboard, monitor and mouse (KVM over Ethernet) from any local
computer.
