Cool computing EnvironmentCool computing Environment

Cool computing Environment

With its advanced heat-dissipation design, the RS160-E2/CS3 successfully

resolved the critical thermal problem, which has made two processors in the

limited space of a 1U server chassis seemed impossible in the past. The RS160-

E2/CS3 adopted an thermal design that included four 56mm x 28mm fans,

four 28mm x 28mm fans and two copper heat sinks for optimal ventilation to

ensure cool and stable operation.

Advanced Replacement ServiceAdvanced Replacement Service

Advanced Replacement Service

Advanced Replacement Service (ARS) offers direct delivery of components

to value added resellers (VAR) and system integrators (SI), who assembled

server systems based on barebone systems and motherboards manufactured

by ASUS. The mission of ARS is to provide peace of mind to our customers

that are building high-performance and complex servers by offering technical

support they can count on. Compared to conventional RMA (return material

authorization) services that require customers to first return defective parts

to distributors and involve a long list of complicated procedures, ARS

significantly saves customers’ precious time and eliminates the potential

financial damage from delayed maintenance.
