AsRock 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC 1U Rack Server Barebone

Overview

The AsRock 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC is a 1U rack-mount server barebone chassis built for data center and edge-compute deployments where rack space is fixed and density matters. At 39.37 x 24.40 x 8.26 in (L x W x H) and 49.05 lb, it occupies a single rack unit but runs deep front-to-back — confirm your cabinet has the clearance before ordering, since 39.37 in of chassis depth exceeds many shallow edge racks. The unit is manufactured in Taiwan (TW country of origin), consistent with AsRock Rack's standard production footprint for its server-class hardware. The model number 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC (often searched as 1U12E GENOA/EVAC) identifies this as part of AsRock's Genoa-platform 1U barebone family, positioned for integrators building out AMD EPYC-based compute or storage nodes rather than buyers looking for a pre-configured turnkey server.

Key Features

• 1U rack form factor: fits a single 1.75 in rack slot, maximizing node count per cabinet — the tradeoff is thermal and acoustic density, so plan hot-aisle airflow accordingly.
• 39.37 in chassis depth: accommodates full-length expansion cards and extended cooling hardware, but rules out shallow-depth network racks — measure before you commit rack space.
• 49.05 lb barebone weight: factor this into rail-kit weight ratings and rack shelf load calculations, especially when populating multiple units in the same cabinet.
• Taiwan-built: factory-new production sourced direct rather than assembled from mixed regional lots.

Integration & Compatibility

As a barebone chassis, the 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC ships without CPU, memory, or drives installed — integrators supply the AMD EPYC processor(s), DIMMs, and storage to match workload requirements. Confirm processor and memory compatibility against AsRock Rack's published configuration guides before ordering components, since barebone chassis are platform-specific by design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does "barebone" mean for the 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC?

A: It ships as chassis, motherboard tray, and power/cooling infrastructure without CPU, RAM, or drives — those are added by the integrator to match the target workload.

Q: How much rack depth does the 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC need?

A: The unit measures 39.37 in deep, 24.40 in wide, and 8.26 in tall (1U), so verify your rack or cabinet has sufficient front-to-back clearance before ordering.

Q: How much does the 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC weigh?

A: 49.05 lb as a bare chassis, before CPU, memory, drives, or PSUs are installed — fully populated weight will be higher.

Q: Where is the 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC manufactured?

A: Taiwan (TW), per country-of-origin records for this SKU.

The AsRock 1U12E-GENOA/EVAC crosses my desk most often when someone's specing out an EPYC-based compute node and needs to know if it'll actually fit the rack they've already got racked and stacked. At 39.37 in deep and 49.05 lb bare, this is not a shallow edge-closet chassis — it's built for a proper data center cabinet with full depth clearance.

Technical Highlights:

• 1U height, 24.40 in width: standard rack-width footprint, so it drops into a 19 in rack without adapter rails on the width axis.
• 39.37 in depth: longer than a lot of 1U network appliances — measure your cabinet's usable depth, not just its outer frame, before ordering.
• 49.05 lb as shipped: that's chassis weight only; once you populate EPYC CPUs, DIMMs, and drive bays, plan for meaningfully more on the rail kit and rack shelf rating.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a barebone — budget separately for CPU, memory, storage, and any redundant PSU options before it's rack-ready.
• Confirm your data center's hot-aisle/cold-aisle airflow plan accounts for full 1U density if you're racking several of these side by side.

Best fit: an integrator building out a small cluster of AMD EPYC Genoa compute nodes in a standard-depth data center rack, who's sourcing chassis and components separately rather than buying a turnkey pre-configured server.
