| Storage | Eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports, three M.2 sockets (CPU-dependent PCIe 5.0 plus chipset PCIe 4.0), and two SlimSAS connectors for NVMe; verify lane-sharing/RAID in manual. |
| BMC and networking | Onboard ASPEED AST2600 BMC, dedicated management LAN/IPMI; dual 10GbE LAN. |
Compatibility and revision notes
LGA4677 Xeon W-2400/3400 only as validated by the ASUS CPU table; do not assume Xeon Scalable fits by socket resemblance. Observe RDIMM population and processor-specific PCIe/M.2 lane rules, EEB mounting and power requirements.
Socket type, connector shape, chipset branding and CPU family alone do not establish compatibility. Confirm the exact CPU support list, minimum BIOS, ECC/DIMM type and population, shared PCIe/storage lanes, power inputs and dimensions in the linked model-specific vendor documentation.
Preservation and repair
Record the board revision, serial label, BIOS and BMC versions, MAC addresses, attached risers/cables and test conditions before servicing. Use the vendor's socket procedure, ESD-safe handling and correct chassis airflow; do not cross-flash firmware from a related SKU.
Photograph PCB labels, connector condition and accessories before cleaning. Keep BMC access credentials in secure inventory, and never power the board with loose conductive hardware beneath it.
