Single-socket ATX server board

The ASRock Rack SPC621D8 is an ATX motherboard built for a single LGA 4189 processor from the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family. Eight DDR4 3200 slots support RDIMM, LRDIMM and Intel Optane Persistent Memory in a 1DPC layout. The Intel C621A chipset provides thirteen SATA 6.0Gb/s ports, two M.2 sockets and seven PCIe 4.0 expansion slots. An Aspeed AST2500 handles video and IPMI remote management. Rear I/O includes D-Sub, dual 1GbE LAN and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports.

Fits 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable builds.

This board suits integrators assembling single-socket servers or workstations that need high core counts, large memory capacity and plentiful PCIe 4.0 lanes in a standard ATX chassis. Builders planning dual-socket configurations, or those requiring processors outside the supported 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable line, should select a different platform. The single LGA 4189 socket and C621A chipset define the compatibility boundary.

Seven PCIe 4.0 slots with auto-switching topology

Four slots are wired for PCIe 4.0 x16 and three for PCIe 4.0 x8. Slots 7, 5 and 3 automatically drop to x8 when the adjacent x8 slots 6, 4 or 2 are populated, so the final lane allocation depends on which add-in cards are installed. This flexibility lets the board serve GPU compute, storage arrays or networking workloads within the same ATX footprint.

Questions about this item

Will the PCIe 4.0 x16 slots run at x8 if I fill all seven expansion slots?

Yes, SLOT7, SLOT5 and SLOT3 automatically switch from PCIe 4.0 x16 to x8 when SLOT6, SLOT4 or SLOT2 are occupied, so a fully populated board runs four x16 and three x8 links.

How much heat should I plan for from the onboard 1 GbE LAN and ASPEED AST2500 video during 24/7 operation?

The dual Intel I210 controllers and AST2500 BMC are low-power components; their thermal contribution is small compared with the Xeon CPU and memory, so standard server airflow is sufficient.

Which CPU cooler mounting pattern does the LGA 4189 socket require?

The board uses the Socket P+ (LGA 4189) layout, so you need a cooler rated for that specific mounting pattern and the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor TDP you select.
