ASUS RS500A-E11-WOCPU006Z 1U barebone server

1U barebone for AMD EPYC workloads

The ASUS RS500A-E11-WOCPU006Z is a 1U rackmount barebone designed for general-purpose server deployments. It accepts a single AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor in a Socket SP3 package. No CPU or memory is installed, so integrators choose the exact core count and clock speed their workload demands. Builders who need dual-socket density or pre-validated configurations will look elsewhere.

Sustained compute density in a single socket

With 16 DDR4 3200 slots across eight channels the platform scales to 4 TB of RDIMM, LRDIMM or 3DS capacity, feeding all cores without bottlenecks during long-running jobs. Three PCIe Gen4 x16 links plus an OCP 3.0 x16 slot keep accelerators and high-speed networking fed at full bandwidth. Twelve hot-swap 2.5-inch bays and two M.2 sockets absorb growing datasets without taking the chassis offline. Workloads that require more than one processor per node exceed the single-socket limit.

Redundant 800 W supply and managed cooling

An 800 W redundant power supply rated at 80 Plus efficiency delivers headroom for fully populated CPU, memory and storage configurations. Dual 1 GbE Intel I350 ports and a dedicated management port handle traffic and remote administration without extra cards. The 1U height constrains airflow, so sustained loads rely on high-RPM system fans that raise acoustic output in dense racks. Sites without forced-air cabinet cooling or redundant PDU feeds must plan for the thermal and power envelope.
