Server Motherboard ASUS P13R-E/10G-2T LGA 1700 ATX, Intel chipset, DDR5 ECC UDIMM, 4x DIMM, 2x 10Gb RJ-45, 8x SATA III, 2x M.2

ASUS P13R-E/10G-2T is an ATX server motherboard with an LGA 1700 socket and an Intel chipset. It supports Intel® Pentium® series processors and provides on-board Aspeed AST2600 graphics with 64 MB dedicated on-board graphics memory. The board accepts up to 128 GB of DDR5 ECC UDIMM across four DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration and supports memory clock speeds up to 3600 MT/s. Storage options include eight SATA III ports and two M.2 slots, with overall support for up to ten drives (HDD and SSD). The rear I/O includes two Ethernet RJ-45 ports (including 10Gb), four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one VGA port, and two USB 2.0 ports. The board also provides multiple internal headers for fans, USB, TPM and COM connectivity and fits standard ATX chassis with dimensions of 305 × 244 mm.

Advantages

The motherboard combines LGA 1700 compatibility and an Intel server chipset to support server-grade DDR5 ECC memory and robust storage expandability. On-board Aspeed AST2600 graphics enables remote management and basic display output without a discrete GPU. Multiple high-speed network ports, a large number of SATA connectors and M.2 slots allow flexible storage configurations, while abundant internal fan and power connectors support chassis cooling and system stability.

Suitable for

• Small and medium enterprise servers
• Network appliances and gateway devices requiring 10Gb connectivity
• Storage-focused servers with multiple SATA and M.2 drives
• Systems requiring ECC memory for data integrity

How to use

Install the motherboard into an ATX-compatible chassis and secure it using standard standoffs. Mount an LGA 1700 compatible Intel Pentium CPU and install an appropriate LGA 1700 cooler following the cooler manufacturer’s instructions. Populate up to four DDR5 ECC UDIMM modules in the recommended dual-channel slots. Connect storage devices to SATA III ports or M.2 slots as required, and attach power connectors from the PSU. Use the rear and internal USB, COM, TPM and fan headers to connect peripherals, management modules and chassis fans. Configure BIOS/UEFI settings for CPU, memory and storage features before installing an operating system appropriate for server use.

Recommendations

To ensure data integrity and stability, use DDR5 ECC UDIMM modules certified for server use, keep firmware and BIOS up to date, and provide adequate chassis airflow for sustained operation within the specified 10–50 °C range. Avoid contact with liquids and moisture to prevent equipment damage.
