2U dual-socket barebone for Xeon Scalable
The ASUS RS720-E11-RS24U-20WGP10G is a 2U rackmount server barebone designed for dual Intel Xeon Scalable processors using the LGA 4677 socket. It targets organisations building high-density compute or storage nodes that require extensive NVMe capacity and PCIe 5.0 expansion. The chassis arrives without CPUs, memory or drives installed.
Sustained load behaviour with 2000W redundant power
Dual 2000W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies in 1+1 redundancy feed the platform, while an enhanced volume air cooling (EVAC) heatsink handles processors with higher TDP during prolonged AI, HPC or database workloads. Four PCIe 5.0 slots — including two x8 links or one x16 link, one low-profile x16 slot and an OCP 3.0 module — maintain full bandwidth for accelerators and networking under continuous utilisation.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your chosen Xeon Scalable processors match the LGA 4677 socket and that DDR5 modules operate at 4800 MT/s for 1DPC or 4400 MT/s for 2DPC across the 32 DIMM slots. Storage planning must account for 24 front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays supporting NVMe plus NVMe/SATA/SAS (SAS requires an HBA/RAID card), two M.2 slots and the need for a GPU no wider than a dual-slot form factor.

Questions about this item
How much power can the 2000W redundant 1+1 80 Plus Platinum supply handle when the RS720-E11-RS24U runs fully populated all day?
The 2000W redundant 1+1 80 Plus Platinum units deliver up to 2000W total, so the chassis can sustain a fully loaded dual-socket Xeon configuration with 24 NVMe drives and a dual-slot GPU continuously.
Which components must I already own or buy separately to make this barebone server operational?
You need two LGA 4677 Xeon Scalable CPUs, DDR5 4800/4400 ECC RDIMMs for the 32 slots, 2.5" NVMe/SATA/SAS drives for the 24 hot-swap bays, an HBA/RAID card if you use SAS, and an OS licence.
Will my existing PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 add-in cards work in the four PCIe 5.0 slots without slowing the new Xeon platform?
Yes, the four PCIe 5.0 slots (two x8 or one x16, one x16 low-profile, one OCP 3.0) are backward compatible, so older PCIe 3.0/4.0 cards will function at their native speeds.
