This chapter describes the key features
of TS100-E7/PI4. It includes the product
overview and general specifications.

Chapter 1: Product introduction1-2
1.1 Key features
The TS100-E7/PI4 is a single-socket pedestal server system based on quad/dualcore Intel® E3-1200/CoreTM i3-2100 series processors and the Intel® C202 PCH
chipset with support for up to 32GB of DDR3 1333Hz unbuffered ECC memory.
Upscaled performance increases processing speeds, while the super-quiet
design makes the TS100-E7/PI4 ideal for professional environments where noise
reduction is important.
The latest Intel® CPUs
The TS100-E7/PI4 is ready for new-generation IntelR® Xeon® 32nm quad/dualcore UP processors, which deliver a significant performance improvement (up to
25%) over previous generation CPUs. Also, with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0,
the TS100-E7/PI4 provides more efficient, dynamic, and intelligent performance
enhancement on demand.
Ultra-quiet and energy-saving
Strict acoustic testing has shown that the TS100-E7/PI4 performs excellently in
noise control at less than 25.6dBA when idle – even lower than the noise output of
a projector (42dB). It facilitates quiet working environments, and ships with an 80+
power supply to reduce power loss and power consumption, helping consumers
save on energy bills.
Dual Intel® server-class Gigabit LAN
The TS100-E7/PI4 offers more reliable networking and wide- range virtualization,
including VMWare®, Hyper-V and Xen. IPv6 readiness effortlessly resolves
potential IPv4 address shortage problems even before they occur.
Optional ASUS TPM module
With the ASUS TPM module supporting TXT technology, the TS100-E7/PI4 avoids
Trojan and malware incursions, while Hypervisor loads on start-up to provide
hardware-level security against software attacks, protecting data from memory
snooping.
Effortless install
Auto-setup in a few simple steps and the intuitive support CD mean users don’t
need to go through a lengthy process as the install is pre-configured, and all device
drivers arrive fully installed with the latest versions, saving IT staff time and effort.
