The refurbished ASUS RS700A-E11-RS12U is a dual-socket 1U rackmount server built on AMD's Socket SP3 platform — and it packs a remarkable amount of enterprise compute into a single rack unit. Supporting both EPYC 7002 (Rome) and EPYC 7003 (Milan) processors, this is a platform that was purpose-built for dense, high-performance workloads. It's a professionally refurbished unit, pulled from enterprise service and fully rebuilt to spec before it ships.
When it comes to processing power, this one gives you real options. The listing includes four processor configurations — the EPYC 7352 (24-core, 2.3GHz), EPYC 7543 (32-core, 2.8GHz), EPYC 74F3 (24-core, 3.2GHz), and the EPYC 7742 (64-core, 2.25GHz) — all available as matched dual-socket pairs, scaling to 128 total cores. On the storage side, all 12 hot-swap 2.5" SFF bays are individually configurable and every one is NVMe capable. You can populate them with SATA SSD, U.2 NVMe PCIe drives, or a mix of both depending on what the workload demands.
This is a workhorse platform that thrives in environments like:
- High-density virtualization: Up to 128 total cores and 2TB of DDR4 across 32 DIMM slots give hypervisors — VMware, Proxmox, KVM — serious headroom, all in a 1U footprint.
- NVMe-accelerated database workloads: All 12 bays support U.2 NVMe PCIe, which keeps latency in check for transactional or analytical databases that benefit from flash-native throughput.
- AI inference and GPU compute: PCIe expansion supports GPU add-in cards — the NVIDIA A2 16GB is configurable directly on this listing — making this a practical inference platform without a dedicated GPU chassis.
- All-flash or tiered storage architectures: The flexibility to mix NVMe and SATA SSD across all 12 bays makes this well-suited for tiered storage designs or pure-flash deployments where every bay needs to perform.
- High-frequency compute: The EPYC 74F3 at 3.2GHz base clock is worth noting for workloads that care about single-thread performance — financial modeling, EDA, simulation, and similar applications.
- Network-intensive workloads: PCIe add-on and OCP 3.0 card options include 10GbE, 25GbE, and 100GbE adapters from Intel and Mellanox, configurable at order time.
Power is handled by a pair of redundant 1600W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies — included standard on every unit. Remote management runs through the onboard ASMB10-iKVM, which gives you full KVM-over-IP access right out of the box. On the security side, one thing that stands out here is the platform's hardware root-of-trust implementation: TPM 2.0 paired with PFR (Platform Firmware Resilience) via an onboard FPGA actively guards firmware integrity and supports recovery from corruption — not just detection. Four-post rack rails are included with every unit.
Each unit is a used ASUS RS700A-E11-RS12U that has been professionally refurbished — fully tested and configured to order before it leaves our facility. You're getting enterprise-grade AMD EPYC hardware at a significant discount over new pricing, built exactly to your spec.
