ASUS S14NA-U12 Socket SP6 CEB

Server motherboard for 64-core AMD EPYCâ„¢ 8004-series processors, with dual 25 Gbps LAN, support for two dual-slot GPUs, 12 DIMM DDR5, dual M.2 and integrated ASMB11-iKVM.

Powered by AMD EPYCTM 8004 processors
The ASUS S14NA-U12 leverages the impressive performance and streamlined platform componentry of EPYC 8004 processors using the new SP6 socket, enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to offer cost-effective, business-relevant server configurations. The adherence to industry standards in platform management, coupled with top-tier security features and energy efficiency of the EPYC 8004-series processors, significantly reduces operational costs compared to power-hungry, non-standard alternatives. Customers can expect best-in-class total cost of ownership (TCO) across numerous deployments with systems based on AMD EPYC 8004 processors.

Dual SFP28 25-gigabit Ethernet with teaming support
The S14NA-U12 provides ultra-high-speed network connectivity, with each SFP28 25-gigabit Ethernet connection offering up to 25 Gbps bandwidth, vastly outperforming traditional gigabit Ethernet. This speed enhances data-traffic handling, thereby improving application performance. Additionally, it ensures reliability through teaming support, where multiple network interface cards (NICs) combine for enhanced redundancy, minimizing service interruptions. The server's low-latency SFP28 technology is crucial for real-time applications like high-frequency trading and video conferencing.

Flexible expandability
The S14NA-U12 also boasts five MCIO slots, with MICO5 supporting both NVMe and SATA devices . This design offers versatile storage options, allowing users to choose between NVMe and SATA drives to meet a variety of storage needs. Additionally, it ensures high performance with support for NVMe drives, making it ideal for data-intensive applications like databases and high-performance computing.

S14NA-U12’s scalability is another standout feature, as it can accommodate up to 10 NVMe drives — providing ample storage capacity that can readily expand to meet the growing demands of data-intensive operations. Up to two dual-slot GPUs are also supported.

Comprehensive IT infrastructure management
S14NA-U12 features an embedded iKVM module and is optionally equipped with ASUS Control Center, offering comprehensive out-of-band and in-band management features tailored for small and mid-size businesses. The embedded ASUS ASMB11-iKVM module supports remote BIOS updates, fan control, standalone KVMs, video recording and BSOD capture, providing around-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnostics. This functionality remains accessible even if the operating system is down or offline, through a user-friendly web-based graphical interface compatible with all major browsers. ASUS Control Center (ACC) further enhances IT infrastructure management, centralizing and integrating monitoring and control for ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations, and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, mobile device system monitoring, and simplified server management through one-click software updates and dispatching.

ASUS ProCool connector
ASUS ProCool power connectors are designed without any hollow areas, enabling lower impedance, faster heat dissipation and cooler operating temperatures for reduced power loss and increased cost savings.

Quick initialization guidance
The S14NA-U12 provides instant system information during initialization and reports any unusual diagnostic results for more efficient IT operation and easy troubleshooting.

Visible Q-Code
The S14NA-U12 has a visible Q-Code/port 80 LED display for simple monitoring of the entire boot process, from powering on through loading the operating system.

OS drive installation and debugging
An internal USB 3.2 port accepts boot disks, providing a safer way to install Linux or VMware Hypervisor as well as additional access for debugging.
