ASUS ESC8000-E12P-32W barebone server 4U dual Xeon 6 32× DDR5 8× NVMe 3200W

SKU CH-DA8J-9PDHQ MPN ESC8000-E12P-32W

A 4U barebone server that holds two Xeon 6 CPUs with 86 cores each, 32 DDR5 ECC slots, eight hot-swap 2.5-inch NVMe bays and up to eight dual-slot GPUs at 600 W.

  • Supports eight dual-slot GPUs for dense AI compute
  • Dual Xeon processors with 86 cores each for massive parallel workloads
  • 32 DDR5 ECC memory slots deliver high bandwidth for large models
  • Eight hot-swap 2.5-inch NVMe bays provide fast all-flash storage
  • 3200W Titanium 3+1 redundant PSU ensures stable power delivery

4U Dual Xeon 6 AI Server

The ASUS ESC8000-E12P-32W is a 4U barebone server built for dual Intel Xeon 6 Scalable processors. It provides 32 DDR5 ECC registered DIMM slots and eight hot-swappable 2.5-inch NVMe bays. The chassis supports up to eight dual-slot full-size AI accelerators such as NVIDIA H200 or Intel Gaudi 3.

Suits high-density AI training, not general compute

This platform targets organisations deploying large language models or inference clusters that need eight GPUs in a single 4U node. Buyers who need only one or two accelerators, or who require more than five PCIe 5.0 expansion slots for networking, should evaluate alternative form factors.

Eight dual-slot GPU capacity in 4U

The defining specification is support for eight dual-slot GPUs each drawing up to 600 watts within a 4U enclosure. Cooling, power delivery and PCIe 5.0 topology are engineered around this maximum density, so the purchase decision rests on whether the workload requires that exact scale.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 86-core Xeon processors and 6400 MHz DDR5 memory are detected after installation?

Enter the BIOS or ASMB12-iKVM interface on boot; both CPU sockets should show 86 cores each and all 32 DDR5 slots must report 6400 MHz operation with ECC active.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately for this barebone server?

The 4U chassis, dual-socket motherboard, 3+1 redundant 3200W Titanium PSUs, eight hot-swap 2.5-inch NVMe bays, five PCIe 5.0 slots and ASMB12-iKVM BMC are included; two Xeon 6 CPUs, 32 DDR5 ECC DIMMs, up to eight dual-slot GPUs and NVMe drives are not.

Which GPU option fits the 600 W per slot limit and eight-card density in this 4U server?

The chassis supports eight dual-slot accelerators up to 600 W each — NVIDIA H200, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition or Intel Gaudi 3 PCIe all meet the thermal and power envelope.
