Powerful performance with Intel® Xeon® W processor and ECC memory
WS C422 Sage/10G supports server-grade Intel® Xeon® W series processors to deliver powerful, optimized performance in always-on usage scenarios. Support for Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory enables automatic detection and repair of single-bit memory errors, reducing the chance of system crashes and data corruption to ensure reliable and responsive workstation performance.
High Speed networking with dual Intel® 10G LAN
With built in dual Intel® 10GBASE-T networking, WS C422 Sage/10G increases data throughput and improves efficiency. This supports high-density, high-bandwidth and low-latency access-layer networks needed for extremely demanding applications, such as graphics or video production.
Ultimate graphics power with up to 4-way NVIDIA® SLI™ and AMD® CrossFireX™
WS C422 Sage/10G fits up to four dual-slot graphics cards and supports both NVIDIA® SLI™ and AMD CrossFireX™ 4-way configurations to enable multi-GPU setups that harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies, including NVIDIA® Quadro®. NVIDIA® Quadro® is the perfect complement to WS C422 Sage/10G, delivering the best performance for design, modeling, medical research, and processing-intensive simulation and rendering applications.
ASUS Control Center
WS C422 Sage/10G features ASUS Control Center (ACC), a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, monitoring of multiple systems via mobile devices, and one-click software updates and dispatching, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.
Unleashed storage speeds of up to 32Gbps
WS C422 Sage/10G features dual onboard M.2 and U.2 slots that support up to 32Gbps, which one with vertical design supporting 22110-length SSDs to reduce used space.
Next-gen transfer speeds
WS C422 Sage/10G ‘s front panel USB 3.1 connector is ready for next-gen PC cases and devices. With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, you’ll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Multiple Ultra-efficient heatsinks
Designed for the powerful Intel® Xeon® scalable processor with up to 28 cores, WS C422 Sage/10G features a capable thermal design to ensure maximum performance with no CPU throttling.
Consisting of an ultra-efficient VRM heatsink with a metal fin array design that maximizes surface area for heat dissipation, plus two additional heatsinks and a connecting heatpipe to further increase cooling performance, this innovative thermal design ensures WS C422 Sage/10G is always ready to handle any task, no matter how demanding.
With its dual PLX chips that increase the number of available PCIe lanes to enable 4-way GPU configurations, WS C422 Sage/10G features a robust thermal solution to dissipate the heat that comes with routing so much high-speed traffic. An additional heatsink array and heatpipe cover the PLX chips and are positioned in the path of maximum airflow within the chassis, reducing PLX temperatures by up to 20° C to ensure optimal cooling and system stability.
SafeSlot
SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.
Outstanding Audio for content creator
Unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek®. The Realtek®S1220A features an unprecedented 120dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and an 113dB SNR for the line-in, providing pristine audio quality.
Immersive headphone Audio
DTS Headphone:X™ Offers 3D surround-sound technology for incredibly rich audio with all types of headphones.
Upgrade your RAID
Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) obliterates PCH-based RAID arrays that are bottlenecked by the 32Gbps limit of the DMI bus, allowing you to utilize CPU PCIe lanes to configure a bootable RAID array that can transfer data at insane speeds.
*A VROC key is required to enable VROC RAID arrays. For information about VROC key availability, please contact your local Intel representative.
Supporting Thunderbolt EX3 card
WS C422 Sage/10G provides full support for a ThunderboltEX 3 card. An Intel®-certified Thunderbolt™ 3 add-on card enables breathtaking bi-directional speeds of up to 40Gbps through a single cable — up to 4X faster than other PC data-transfer protocols. Beyond sheer bandwidth, Thunderbolt™ 3 supports daisy-chaining up to six devices, utilizes a Type-C reversible connector for compatibility with the latest USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C devices, and meets USB power delivery specifications for fast, high-power charging of up to 36W.
