The ASUS P13R-I is a compact Mini-ITX server motherboard for system builders creating small business servers, storage systems or general-purpose infrastructure. It supports Intel Xeon E-2400 and Xeon 6300 series processors, as well as Intel Pentium processors, in an LGA 1700 socket.

Its Intel C262 chipset platform combines two DDR5 ECC UDIMM memory slots with a PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot and an M.2 connection for NVMe storage. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports provide room to connect multiple drives, while two Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports support network connectivity. An additional management LAN and onboard ASUS ASMB11-iKVM provide remote management features for administration and diagnostics.

Key features

• Mini-ITX format suits compact server builds.
• LGA 1700 socket supports compatible Intel Xeon E-2400 and Xeon 6300 series processors, plus Intel Pentium processors.
• Two DDR5 ECC UDIMM slots support up to 64GB of memory.
• One PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides high-bandwidth expansion.
• Six SATA 6Gb/s ports and an M.2 NVMe connection offer flexible storage options.
• Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports support network connections.
• ASMB11-iKVM enables out-of-band management, including remote KVM access.

Compatibility

Use an LGA 1700 processor from a supported Intel Xeon E-2400 or Xeon 6300 series, or a compatible Intel Pentium processor. Memory must be DDR5 ECC UDIMM; the board has two slots and supports up to 64GB. The M.2 slot supports 2280 NVMe PCIe x4 drives. Good to know: Check the processor and memory type before buying, as LGA 1700 alone does not confirm compatibility and this board specifies ECC UDIMM memory.
