Up-to-date 22nm Processors, Latest Intel PlatformReady
The ESC500 G3 supports the new socket LGA1150 Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3server processors and 4th generation Intel Core i3 processors. With4 DIMM slots and Intel C226 chipset onboard, it supports up to 32GBof dual-channel DDR3 1600/1333 for high computing capability andthe C226 comes with six SATA 6Gb/s ports for faster data retrieval. Also, the support of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8, ESC500G3 provides users much more friendly environment.

Wide-range NVIDIA Quadro Series Support
Full compatibility with entry-level, mainstream, andperformance-grade professional NVIDIA Quadro graphics cardsprovides flexible support for users who demand varying degrees ofgraphical compute power.

Quiet Working Environment
With intelligent fan control technology, fan speed and powerconsumption are adjusted automatically by detecting system loading, which minimizes noise to under 26dB(A) which is lower than thenoise output of an average projector at 42dB(A) for offering aquieter working environment, as well as lower power bills.

Design to support legacy PCI device applications
Besides the latest PCI-E technology, ESC500 G3 keeps the legacy PCIslots on board which can fulfill various customers requirements. Customers can move their existing legacy PCI add-on cards to ESC500G3, and still benefit from up-to-date Intel 22nm Processor and DDR3memory technology to their solutions.

Advanced amp; Complete I/O solutions
ESC500 G3 supports up to 4 USB 3.0 ports. Built to connect easilywith next generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfersdata 10X faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0. Additionally, ESC500 G3 equips 6 native SATA 6Gb/s ports withenhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double thebandwidth of SATA 3Gb/s.

Energy-Saving and Power Efficient
With 80 PLUS Bronze or Silver power supplies, the ESC500 G3 savesmore on TCO for users with lower power loss and higher powerefficiency.

Multiple displays Three Times the work efficiency
Without extra VGA card needed, the ESC500 G3 gives users theability to multitask on up to the independent displays throughDisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-I connectors.

ASUS Dr. Power
ESC500 G3 supports ASUS exclusive Dr. Power feature, which candetect, diagnose, and monitor power supply health. The LED messagesclearly indicate any relevant power issues in the event your systemfails to boot. Additionally, power supply health auto-detectionhelps prevent sudden system shutdown and provides warnings shouldpower delivery be insufficient.

USB BIOS Flashback Simple plug and press hardware-based BIOSupdates
Hardware-level USB BIOS Flashback allows users to update to newUEFI BIOS versions even without a CPU or DRAM installed on themotherboard. Just plug in a USB flash drive containing the BIOSfile, and press the BIOS Flashback button for 3 seconds with thepower supply connected.

Network iControl Real-time network bandwidthmanagement
With a single-click, important applications get their data andnetwork bandwidth prioritized over other programs. You canprioritize favorite applications easily by configuring profilesthrough the intuitive user interface. Within profiles, programs canbe re-scheduled to run in a specific time to avoid networkcongestion and long waits on downloads. This is the most intuitivenetwork bandwidth control ever.

Fan Xpert2 Optimizes the Speed of All Fans for the UltimateCool and Quiet
Hardware-level ASUS Fan Xpert 2 provides the most customizablesettings for an even cooler and quieter computing environment. Upgraded with Fan Auto Tuning mode, it enables tailored fan speedsettings for each CPU and chassis fan with exclusive automatic fanspeed detection, which scans through each fan to run at specificsettings based on different criteria, acheiving the best balance ofcooling performance and low noise. Fan Xpert 2 also includes an RPMFixed Mode for users who wish to reduce noise levels to near 0dBwith highly specific fan speed control. It reacts to system loadsfor greater control.
