ASUS RS500A-E11-RS12U

General Information

The ASUS RS500A-E11-RS12U is an AMD EPYC 7003 (Milan) 1U single-socket server (barebone) that supports up to 16x DIMM, 12x NVMe, 3x PCIe 4.0 slots, 1x OCP 3.0, 2x M.2 and ASUS ASMB10-iKVM and in use for the # vikings hosting platform. It contains the ASUS KRPA-U16 mainboard.

Issues

Low-Profile Slot Port Obstruction

When using 4-port network cards in one of the low-profile slots, the server chassis obscures one of the ports by about 0.5 to 1 mm. Inserting a GBIC (or SFP transceiver) is possible with some force, but subsequent removal is very difficult or impossible.

  • Potential Fixes
    • When purchasing network cards with 4 slots, use the OCP3.0 port if possible.
    • For stuck GBICs, gently wiggle while pulling or use a flathead screwdriver for leverage without forcing, to prevent port damage.
