Silver 2U rack chassis with twenty-four front drive bays

ASUS

ASUS RS720A-E13-RS24U-27KW10G 2U barebone server dual EPYC 9005 24 DDR5 24 NVMe 2700W

SKU CH-XS5V-4WQS2 MPN RS720A-E13-RS24U-27KW10G

A 2U rackmount barebone accepting dual EPYC 9005 processors with up to 400W TDP, 24 DDR5 ECC slots, 24 hot-swap NVMe/SAS/SATA bays, 10 PCIe 5.0 slots, dual 10GbE and redundant 2700W Titanium power

  • Dual EPYC 9005 CPUs deliver 384 cores for massive parallel workloads
  • 24 DDR5 ECC channels at 6000 MHz enable 3 TB memory capacity
  • 24 hot-swap bays accept NVMe, SAS or SATA drives for flexible storage
  • 10 PCIe 5.0 slots plus dual OCP 3.0 support three dual-slot AI GPUs
  • Redundant 2700 W 80 PLUS Titanium supplies ensure continuous uptime

2U dual-socket server barebones for EPYC 9005

This 2U rackmount barebones chassis supports dual AMD EPYC 9005 processors with up to 400W TDP per socket. It provides 24 DDR5 ECC registered DIMM slots across 12 memory channels per processor. Twenty-four hot-swap bays accept NVMe, SAS or SATA drives and two additional M.2 slots are available. Dual 10GbE networking and redundant 2700W 80PLUS Titanium power supplies are integrated.

Suited for high-density compute

The platform targets workloads that need up to 384 total cores, large memory capacity and massive local flash storage in a 2U form factor. Ten PCIe 5.0 slots plus two OCP 3.0 mezzanine positions allow up to three dual-slot GPUs. Buyers who need fewer than 24 drive bays, single-socket configurations or lower-power CPUs should consider alternative chassis.

24 hot-swap NVMe/SAS/SATA bays define storage

The single specification that determines fit is the count of 24 front-accessible hybrid drive bays combined with two internal M.2 slots. This density enables all-flash arrays or mixed-media tiers without external enclosures. If the deployment requires a different bay count or cannot accommodate the 2700W redundant power infrastructure, another platform is required.

Questions about this item

What does the 384 total cores and threads mean once this server is running a real workload?

The dual EPYC 9005 sockets provide up to 384 cores and threads combined, giving the system massive parallel throughput for virtualization, database or AI tasks that can scale across all available threads.

How does the PCIe 5.0 interface cap expansion performance in practice?

Ten PCIe 5.0 slots and two OCP 3.0 ports deliver full 5.0 bandwidth to GPUs, storage or networking cards, so each device runs at its rated lane speed without sharing a slower bus.

What does the 2U form factor need to fit or mount in a standard rack?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and uses tool-less rails for quick installation; it requires a standard 19-inch rack with adequate depth and airflow for the dual 2700W power supplies.
