- Flexible I/O upgrade kit for high-performance 10Gb/s connectivity with networking PCI-E and OCP Mezzanine cards
Rack-optimized design for cooling efficiency
The rack-optimized RS540-E9-RS36-E supports 1+1 redundant 800W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies, which are 94% efficiency for AC to DC conversion, and allows your server to keep working even if one power supply requires maintenance, enabling uninterrupted operation.
ASUS servers feature exclusive Performance Boost technology to achieve the best server performance and agility by tuning servers to match the requirements of workloads, letting you gain greater control of your server environment. This technology improves workload throughput by maximizing processor frequency and boost power, ideal for time-sensitive applications such as financial services or data center operations. In the BIOS you can choose from pre-configured server profiles optimized for specific workloads, maximizing overall performance and reducing server-configuration time.
Core Optimizer
Maximizes the processor frequency in multi-core operations, avoiding frequency shifting for reduced latency
Engine Boost
Automatic power acceleration with an innovative voltage design to increase server overall performance
Workload Presets
Preconfigured BIOS server profiles based on workloads and benchmarks for improved performance and efficiencyRS540-E9-RS36-E features ASUS-exclusive Thermal Radar technology with ambient sensors placed in CPU, memory, NVMe, SSD, OCP mezzanine connector for internal and external temperature monitoring, and dynamic fan-curve adjustment, which lowers fan power consumption by up to 20% and reduces total cost of ownership — ideal for data centers with extreme workloads.
RS540-E9-RS36-E features an embedded iKVM module and is bundled with ASUS Control Center to provide comprehensive out-of-band and in-band management features for small and mid-size businesses.
The embedded ASMB9-iKVM module supports remote BIOS updates, fan control, standalone KVMs, video recording, and BSOD capture, providing around-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnostics — even if the operating system is down or offline — through a user-friendly, web-based graphical interface that works with all major browsers.
ASUS Control Center (ACC) is a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, monitoring of multiple systems via mobile devices, and one-click software updates and dispatching, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.
