ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T Mini-ITX server motherboard AM4 PGA 1331

Compact server board for AMD Ryzen AM4

The ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T is a Mini-ITX server motherboard built around the AMD X570 chipset and a single PGA 1331 socket. It targets builders who need a dense, ECC-capable platform for storage or virtualisation workloads in a 6.7-inch square footprint. The board accepts AMD Ryzen 5000, 4000 and 3000 series desktop processors, including PRO and G-Series models with integrated Radeon graphics. An Aspeed AST2500 provides dedicated IPMI and VGA output for headless management.

PCIe 4.0 lanes depend on the installed CPU

The primary PCIe 4.0 x16 slot runs at 3.0 x8 with Ryzen 3000 G-Series APUs and at 3.0 x16 with 4000 and 5000 G-Series APUs. Two OCuLink ports each offer PCIe 4.0 x4 or four SATA 6.0 Gb/s connections, but drop to 3.0 with any G-Series processor. The single M.2 2280 slot likewise falls back to PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA when a G-Series chip is fitted. Dual 10 GbE ports driven by an Intel X550-AT2 controller and a dedicated IPMI LAN port handle network traffic.

Replaces older AM4 ITX boards lacking 10 GbE

Builders moving from a basic consumer ITX board gain dual 10 GbE, IPMI, four SO-DIMM slots with ECC support and flexible OCuLink storage routing. The jump is worth it when a compact chassis must serve as a high-throughput file server or hypervisor host. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory, additional PCIe expansion slots or native 25 GbE networking should look at larger form-factor server boards.
