Calculation server ESC4000 G4X

GPUEdge AIstorage

Product overview
ESC4000 G4X is built on 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors to deliver 2U server performance with high compute density in a compact rack form factor. The Intel platform provides an average performance improvement (~1.33×) over the previous generation across common applications and benchmarks. ESC4000 G4X supports Intel Optane™ DC persistent memory for improved I/O performance versus equivalent SSD-only configurations. With Intel Deep Learning Boost, ESC4000 G4X yields substantial inference gains (for example: ~3.1× on ResNet-50 and SSD VGG-16 models).

Flexible choice on versatile accelerators
Supports up to four double-deck server GPUs in a 2U chassis. Broad accelerator compatibility includes NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards, enabling configurable systems for compute, AI and HPC workloads.

Flexible 8+2 expansion slots in a 2U server
Provides eight full-length PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (configurable as 4 at x16 or 8 at x8), plus one low-profile PCIe 3.0 x24 (riser support for an additional PCIe x16 at Gen3 x16) and one PCIe x8 (Gen3 x8). This configuration offers extensive I/O, storage and networking expansion in a 2U chassis.

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

Expandable storage for faster transfer speeds
One M.2 slot (2280) with PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth for OS or additional storage (PCIe 3.0 x4 offers higher throughput than SATA III). Internal storage supports two 3.5" or 2.5" drive cages to meet data center storage and boot requirements.

Fully integrated remote server management
Includes ASMB9-iKVM module for out-of-band management (remote BIOS updates, standalone KVM, video recording, BSOD capture and remote diagnostics even if the OS is down). ASUS Control Center (ACC) integration enables centralized IT management, BIOS updates without restart, remote system monitoring via mobile devices and one-click software update/dispatch.

Smart thermal design for energy efficiency
Smart Thermal Radar with multiple ambient thermal sensors for CPU, memory, GPU, SSD, LAN card and front-panel board enables dynamic fan speed control to improve thermal efficiency. The design reduces fan power consumption by up to 20% and removes the power-sharing board to improve overall operational efficiency.
