Overview
ESC4000 G4 is a 2U accelerator server built on 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. The platform supports Intel Optane DC persistent memory and Intel Deep Learning Boost to improve I/O and inference performance while providing dense accelerator capacity in a compact 2U chassis.

Flexible choice on versatile accelerators
Supports up to four double-deck server GPUs in a 2U form factor with broad compatibility across NVIDIA, AMD and Intel accelerators.

Expansion and I/O
Expansion slots:
Eight full-length PCI Express 3.0 x16 (configurable: 4 at x16 or 8 at x8)
One low-profile PCI Express 3.0 x24 (supports riser card for an additional PCIe x16, x16 Gen3 link)
One PCI Express x8 (plus one internal PCIe x8 for HBA/RAID card)

User-friendly design for easier server maintenance
Visible external Q-code for diagnostics, tool-less chassis for quick installation/removal, and tool-less hot-swappable fans for faster maintenance.

Expandable storage for faster transfer speeds
Full-bandwidth port-to-port OCuLink for two NVMe devices; one M.2 slot supports 2280-size SSDs (PCIe 3.0 x4) for OS/additional storage.

Fully integrated remote server management
Supports ASMB9-iKVM for out-of-band management (remote BIOS updates, standalone KVM, video recording, BSOD capture) and ASUS Control Center (ACC) for centralized IT management and remote monitoring.

Smart thermal design for energy efficiency
Smart thermal radar with multiple ambient sensors for CPU, memory, GPU, SSD and LAN card enables dynamic fan-speed control to improve power efficiency and reduce fan power consumption by up to 20%.
