Motherboard ASUS P13R-M Intel C262 LGA 1700 micro ATX, DDR5, 4 DIMM, 128GB, 8x SATA III, 1x M.2, 2x LAN

ASUS P13R-M is a micro-ATX server motherboard with an LGA 1700 socket and Intel C262 chipset, designed for Intel Pentium and Intel Xeon E processors. The board supports up to four DDR5 ECC UDIMM modules (maximum 128 GB), one M.2 slot, eight SATA ports, one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 4.0 slot, an ASPEED AST2600 graphics controller, and dual Gigabit LAN. It includes an onboard ASMB11‑iKVM module for remote management and supports TPM 2.0 and Platform Firmware Resilience (PFR) for firmware security.

Advantages

The ASUS P13R-M provides PCIe 5.0 readiness for higher bandwidth expansion, server-grade networking with dual Intel-based LAN, and support for Intel Xeon E-2400 series processors delivering up to eight cores and 16 threads. Integrated management via the ASMB11‑iKVM and compatibility with ASUS Control Center enable remote out-of-band and in-band administration. Hardware security features such as PFR FPGA and TPM 2.0 help protect firmware and cryptographic keys.

Suitable for

• Entry-level and small-to-medium business (SMB) servers
• Bare-metal cloud and virtualization hosts
• File, application and database servers with moderate storage needs
• Remote-managed systems requiring iKVM and out-of-band control

How to use

Install the motherboard into a compatible micro-ATX server chassis and fit a supported LGA 1700 processor and up to four DDR5 ECC UDIMM modules. Connect storage devices to the M.2 slot and SATA ports and install expansion cards into the PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0 slots as required. Attach network cables to the dual LAN ports and connect USB devices to the rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. Configure BIOS settings for memory, storage and security features, and enable ASMB11‑iKVM for remote management. Use ASUS Control Center for centralized monitoring and updates if deployed in a managed environment.

Recommendations

For reliable 24/7 operation, use ECC DDR5 memory, a compatible Xeon E-series CPU within the supported range, and keep firmware and ASMB/iKVM firmware updated. Use ASUS Control Center for large-scale management and enable PFR and TPM 2.0 to maintain firmware and platform integrity.
