Safety information
Electrical Safety
• Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the
electrical outlet before relocating the system.
• When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, contact
a qualified service technician or your dealer. Ensure that the power cables for
the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you service.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified
service technician or your dealer.
Operation Safety
• Servicing of this product or units is to be performed by trained service
personnel only.
• Before operating the server, carefully read all the manuals included with the

Chapter 1
This chapter describes the key features
of TS100-E7/PI4. It includes the product
overview and general specifications.
Product introduction

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.
