Motherboard ASUS P13R-I Mini ITX, Intel C262 chipset, LGA 1700, DDR5, 2x DIMM, 64 GB, 6x SATA III, 3x RJ-45

PCIe 5.0 Ready
Faster storage, graphics and networking capabilities PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 delivers 32GT/s bandwidth, which is twice the speed of PCIe 4.0, and offers lower power consumption, better LAN scalability and backwards compatibility. ASUS servers are PCIe 5.0 ready with scalability design to satisfy the increasing workloads for modern data center.

Intel Xeon E-2400 processors/Intel Xeon 6300 processors
Designed for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and cloud-service providers, offering robust and secure solutions. These processors support up to eight cores and 16 threads, with a maximum frequency of 5.6 GHz and a 95 W TDP, ensuring rapid data processing and application responsiveness. They support up to 128 GB of DDR5 4400 MT/s memory (Intel Xeon E-2400) or up to 4800 MT/s memory (Intel Xeon 6300) and PCIe 5.0 interfaces, providing server-grade 24/7 reliability for business-critical services and customer data, and cost-effective performance for entry-level bare-metal cloud services.

Two fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports
ASUS P13R-I is equipped with two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports on its rear I/O panel. These high-speed connections offer rapid data-transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, for fast, efficient and reliable file transfers. These sockets are also backward compatible, ensuring seamless connectivity with a wide range of USB devices.

Dual Ethernet bandwidth
With dual onboard LAN powered by an Intel I210-AT2 Ethernet controller, P13R-I server motherboards provide business-grade connectivity and support high-density, high-bandwidth, low-latency access-layer networks to ensure faster transfers of large-size files used in data-intensive applications.

Comprehensive IT infrastructure management
P13R-I 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.

How to use

Install an LGA 1700 CPU supported by the Intel Pentium series and fit up to two DDR5 DIMM modules following the motherboard manual for ECC configuration and dual‑channel placement. Connect SATA drives to the six SATA III ports and install an M.2 2280 NVMe module into the PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot if required. Attach power, front panel, TPM and network cables, then mount the board into a compatible Mini ITX chassis with adequate passive airflow. Connect peripherals to the rear I/O ports and configure BIOS/firmware settings as needed for server or NAS operation.

Recommendations

Avoid contact with liquids and moisture to prevent damage. For reliable long‑term operation in server or NAS environments, use ECC memory, provide adequate ambient ventilation despite passive cooling, and follow the motherboard manual for connections and BIOS setup.
