Placa base ASUS P13R-M/10G-2T Intel C262 LGA 1700 micro ATX

The ASUS P13R-M/10G-2T is a micro ATX server motherboard based on the Intel C262 chipset with an LGA 1700 socket, compatible with Intel® Pentium® and Intel Xeon E series processors. It supports up to 128 GB of DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots, offers M.2 and SATA III storage interfaces, integrated ASPEED AST2600 graphics for out-of-band management, and a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller (Intel X710-AT2) for high-speed networking. The design is PCIe 5.0 ready to support next-generation storage, graphics and networking devices and to provide scalability for modern data-center workloads.

Advantages

The board combines server-grade connectivity and manageability with compact micro ATX sizing: high-bandwidth 10 GbE networking, on-board ASPEED management graphics, and support for PCIe 5.0 devices. Support for Intel Xeon E-2400 processors enables up to eight cores and 16 threads with high single-thread frequency, while DDR5 memory support and multiple storage interfaces provide flexible configuration options for business and cloud applications.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business (SMB) servers
• Entry-level bare-metal cloud and hosting servers
• Compact rack or tower server builds requiring 10 GbE
• Application servers and file/network storage with M.2 or SATA SSDs

Key specifications

How to use

Install the motherboard in a compatible micro ATX chassis and mount an LGA 1700 processor supported by the Intel C262 chipset, such as an Intel Xeon E-series or compatible Pentium CPU. Populate up to four DDR5 DIMMs to reach required memory capacity, connect M.2 or SATA storage devices as needed, and attach network cabling to the 10 GbE ports. Use integrated ASPEED AST2600 for remote management and system diagnostics. Ensure proper power supply connections and cooling for server-grade operation.

Recommendations

For reliable 24/7 operation in business or cloud environments, pair the motherboard with a compatible Xeon E-2400 processor, ECC-qualified DDR5 modules where supported, enterprise-grade SSDs, and a server-class power supply. Keep firmware and management firmware (BMC) up to date to maintain security and stability.
