Corporate Stable Model Programme Support

- Standardise on an AM4 Ryzen processor from the supported series for every machine in the fleet.
- Fit the same two DDR4 modules per board for consistent dual-channel memory.
- Use the M.2 slot for the boot SSD and the SATA ports for bulk storage.
- Manage the deployed boards through ASUS Control Center Express.
