Box computer workstation ExpertCenter E500 G9

desktopIntel® Core™ i914th Generation Intel® Core™

Overview
The ExpertCenter E500 G9 is a compact desktop workstation designed for technical workloads from CAD and 3D rendering to virtualization and local AI inference. It integrates Intel® 12th/13th/14th Gen Core™ processors, DDR5 ECC memory support, dual 2.5GbE LAN and flexible storage and GPU expansion to meet demanding professional requirements.

Key highlights

• Intel® 12/13/14th Generation Core™ i5 / i7 / i9 processors and DDR5-4800 ECC memory for computing stability under heavy workloads
• Supports one dual-slot professional NVIDIA® RTX GPU for 2D/3D rendering and AI acceleration
• Dual onboard 2.5GbE Ethernet for higher throughput and lower latency compared with Gigabit LAN
• Triple M.2 slots (up to aggregate high-bandwidth configurations) for fast NVMe storage and redundancy
• High-speed I/O: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A/C, USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
• Multi-display support: drive up to three independent displays via HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D and VGA
• ISV certification for validated compatibility with common professional applications

Professional performance
Engineered to maintain system stability and data integrity in professional workflows. ECC memory support helps detect and correct memory errors to reduce risk of data corruption and unexpected system interruptions during long compute sessions.

Agentic AI / Local AI execution
The platform supports on-premises execution of AI models to lower ongoing cloud token costs and improve data sovereignty. Typical benefits include:

• Continuous local AI inference without external token dependency
• Reduced reliance on third‑party API calls and cloud processing
• Improved control over sensitive data when deployed with appropriate on‑premises policies

PCIe 5.0 support
Platform support for PCIe 5.0 lanes doubles theoretical bandwidth versus PCIe 4.0 for compatible devices, benefiting data‑intensive storage and I/O accelerators while remaining backward compatible with earlier PCIe generations.

Dual LAN connectivity
Two onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet ports provide increased network throughput for faster file transfers, smoother high‑resolution streaming and lower latency in multi‑user environments.

Support for up to three displays
Flexible rear I/O (HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI‑D, VGA) enables multi‑monitor setups for improved multitasking and visualization in design and engineering tasks.

Design, serviceability and security
Triangular‑mesh front bezel improves airflow for thermal control. Tool‑less chassis design allows rapid servicing and upgrades. Integrated security features include discrete and firmware TPM (TPM 2.0 compliant) and BIOS password options to restrict unauthorized changes.

ISV certification
Validated with a range of professional software common in media, AEC and product design workflows, examples include:

• Media & Entertainment: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, 3ds Max, Maya
• AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction): Revit, AutoCAD, V-Ray
• Product Design & Manufacturing: AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Inventor

Remote management
Includes ASUS Control Center Express for remote IT monitoring and management: inventory, scheduled BIOS/software updates and automated maintenance to simplify operations.
