1U Rackmount Server Barebone

The ASRock Rack 1U8S2E-ICX/2T is a 1U rackmount server barebone designed for general-purpose workloads. It uses the Intel C621A chipset and supports a single 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor in an LGA 4189 socket. The unit includes a redundant 1+1 750W power supply and an Aspeed AST2500 BMC with 16MB video memory for remote management.

Ideal for high-density storage and compute

This barebone suits builders who need ten hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays in a 1U form factor, combining two NVMe/SATA bays with eight SATA bays. It also provides a single full-height PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and dual 10 GbE RJ45 ports via Intel X710-AT2. Buyers requiring multiple GPU slots or more than one processor should look at larger chassis options.

Eight DDR4 DIMM slots at 3200 MHz

The board offers eight 288-pin slots running at up to 3200 MHz, supporting RDIMM, LRDIMM, 3DS variants and Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 series. Maximum capacity per DIMM reaches 256 GB for 3DS types and 128 GB for LRDIMM. Populating all slots with compatible modules is the single specification that determines total memory bandwidth and capacity for the deployed Xeon.

Questions about this item

Should I pick 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 RDIMMs for the eight slots?

The board accepts DDR4 RDIMMs at 3200MHz; 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB modules are on the QVL, and 128GB RDIMMs are also validated, so choose capacity per slot based on your total memory target.

What does the single LGA 4189 socket mean for CPU choice in this 1U chassis?

Only one 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor fits, and the qualified list includes models such as 4310, 5318, 6330, 6338, 8360 and 8380 — pick a SKU that matches your core-count and power budget.

How do the two 10GbE ports and the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot share bandwidth in practice?

The Intel X710-AT2 provides two 10GbE RJ45 links, while the rear FHHL PCIe 4.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU for full-gen-4 bandwidth to an add-in card.
