The thermal dissipation capabilities of the R10 series allows it to accommodate a wider range of server motherboards including Asus’s own PSCH-SR, PCH-DR and NCCH-DR. The chassis has been designed to support single-Pentium 4, dual-Xeon platforms, 12” x 9.8” or 12” x 10.5” motherboards. The R10 series is also capable of hosting 300W, 400W and 500W power supply units.
The R10 series adopted a tool-less architecture for quick system assembling, which includes only two thumbscrews to lock down the top cover. Furthermore, its rack rail kit uses a four-part design while conventional solutions are still stuck on six parts. The R10 series is equipped with ATX mounting holes, two hot-swappable hard drive bays for both Serial ATA and IDE standards and one optical drive bay, allowing for a variety of 1U configurations.
