The ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T is a mini-ITX motherboard designed for server applications, leveraging the AMD X570 chipset and supporting the AM4 socket. This board is particularly notable for its compact size, measuring just 6.7” x 6.7”, making it suitable for space-constrained environments while still offering robust performance features.
CPU Compatibility The motherboard supports a range of AMD Ryzen 3000 series processors, including the high-performance Ryzen 9 3950X with up to 16 cores and 32 threads. However, it has a limited official CPU support list that does not include some newer models like the Ryzen 4000 series or the Ryzen 5000 series at launch, although future BIOS updates may expand compatibility.
Memory Support The ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T features four SO-DIMM slots that can accommodate unbuffered ECC DDR4 memory. It supports memory speeds up to DDR4-2933 and can handle a maximum of 128GB of RAM when using compatible modules. The use of SO-DIMM slots instead of standard DIMMs is somewhat unusual for server boards but allows for the compact design necessary in mini-ITX form factors.
Expansion Slots and Connectivity This motherboard provides several expansion options:
In terms of storage connectivity, it supports up to eight SATA3 drives via OCuLink ports.
Networking Features A standout feature of this motherboard is its dual 10GbE (10 Gigabit Ethernet) connections powered by an Intel X550-AT2 controller, providing high-speed networking capabilities essential for server applications.
Management Features The ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T includes an integrated baseboard management controller (BMC) based on the ASPEED AST2500 chip. This allows for out-of-band management capabilities such as remote KVM access and virtual media mounting over the network, which are critical features for managing servers remotely.
Cooling Considerations Given its compact design and powerful components, effective cooling is crucial. The board requires good airflow to maintain optimal temperatures for both the chipset and VRMs during operation.
In summary, the ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T combines advanced features suitable for server environments within a small form factor, making it an appealing choice for users looking to build compact yet powerful systems.
