2U Rackmount Server Barebones
This ASUS RS720A-E13-RS8G-32KW10G-EPYC-9554 is a 2U rackmount server barebones system built around a single AMD EPYC 9554 processor with 64 cores and 128 threads at 3.10 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR5 memory installed across 24 slots and a 960 GB SSD. The platform supports up to two processors and 3 TB of DDR5 6400/5600 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM memory in a 12-channel configuration.
General Purpose Workload Fit
The server targets general purpose workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation, database hosting and compute clusters. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays allow storage expansion without downtime. PCIe Gen5 slots in multiple form factors support accelerators, networking or storage controllers. Buyers who need integrated high-performance graphics or a tower form factor should consider other platforms.
Memory and Expansion Headroom
With 256 GB installed and a 3 TB ceiling, the system handles memory-intensive applications and leaves room for growth across 24 DIMM slots. Six PCIe Gen5 x8 or three x16 full-height full-length slots plus two full-height half-length x16 slots and two OCP 3.0 x16 SFF slots provide ample I/O headroom. The Aspeed AST2600 with 64 MB video memory covers basic management display needs only.

Questions about this item
Which DDR5 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM modules must I already have to reach the 3TB maximum on the 24 288-pin slots?
The 24 slots accept DDR5 6400/5600 RDIMM and 3DS RDIMM across 12 channels; populate all slots with supported modules to reach 3TB.
Can my existing PCIe Gen4 add-in cards operate in the 6 PCIe Gen5 x8 or 3 PCIe Gen5 x16 full-height full-length slots?
PCIe Gen5 slots are backward compatible, so Gen4 cards will function at Gen4 speeds in the x8 or x16 full-height full-length slots.
How do I confirm the EPYC 9554 64-core 3.10 GHz CPU and 256GB DDR5 are recognised after first power-on?
Check the Aspeed AST2600 BMC via the management LAN port; the System Event Log and POST screen will show 64 cores, 128 threads and 256GB memory.
