Description

AsRock 1U12E-GENOA2 1U 12-Bay Storage Server Barebone

The AsRock 1U12E-GENOA2 is a 1U rack-mount server barebone built around a 12-bay storage chassis — the starting platform for integrators building out custom storage or compute nodes rather than buying a fixed-configuration server. At 40.55 x 24.02 x 9.45 in and 57.32 lb, it occupies a single rack unit while giving you the depth to house dense drive arrays behind the front bezel, so plan your rack's cable management and rail depth accordingly before ordering. The 1U12E-GENOA2 ships as a barebone chassis, meaning you configure the processor, memory, drive, and networking loadout to match the workload rather than inheriting a vendor-fixed spec sheet.

Overview

This is a 1U12 form factor — 1U of rack height with 12 front-accessible drive bays — positioning it for surveillance storage nodes, NVR backends, or general-purpose storage servers where bay count matters more than a pre-loaded feature list. Because detailed specifications for the compute platform (CPU socket, memory channels, drive interface, networking, and power supply) are not included in the evidence available for this listing, treat this page as a starting point for a compatibility check rather than a full spec sheet.

Key Features

  • 1U12 chassis design: 12 drive bays in a single rack unit maximizes storage density per U — useful when rack space is the constraint in a colocated or edge deployment.
  • 40.55 x 24.02 x 9.45 in footprint: confirm rail and cable-arm clearance against this depth before racking, especially in shallower enclosures shared with switching gear.
  • 57.32 lb chassis weight: factor this into rail load ratings and shipping/installation planning, particularly before drives and additional components add to the total.
  • Taiwan (TW) country of origin: relevant for organizations tracking supply chain origin as part of procurement or compliance review.

Integration & Compatibility

As a barebone platform, the 1U12E-GENOA2 (often searched as 1U12E GENOA2) is intended to be paired with compatible AsRock Rack processor, memory, and storage components rather than deployed as-is. Confirm compute and storage component compatibility directly against AsRock's platform documentation before finalizing a build-out, since this listing does not include CPU, RAM, or drive interface specifications. For surveillance and video management deployments, pair capacity planning here with a broader look at network video recorders and review a storage and retention guide to size drive count against camera count and retention days. The AsRock AsRock server lineup spans multiple chassis densities if 12 bays doesn't match your target capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the AsRock 1U12E-GENOA2 a complete server or a barebone unit?

A: It is a barebone chassis — the 1U12 designation refers to the 1U, 12-bay chassis design. Processor, memory, and drive components are configured separately to match your workload.

Q: How many drive bays does the 1U12E-GENOA2 support?

A: Twelve front-accessible drive bays in a 1U rack-mount chassis.

Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the 1U12E-GENOA2?

A: 40.55 x 24.02 x 9.45 inches (L x W x H) and 57.32 lb as a bare chassis.

Q: Where is the 1U12E-GENOA2 manufactured?

A: Taiwan (TW) is listed as the country of origin.

The AsRock 1U12E-GENOA2 crosses my desk most often as a storage-node build-out question — the 1U12 naming tells you what you need to know upfront: 1U of rack height, 12 drive bays, and a 57.32 lb bare chassis before you've racked a single drive or DIMM.

Technical Highlights:

  • 12-bay density in 1U: that's a high bay-to-rack-unit ratio, which matters when you're trying to hit a storage capacity target without eating multiple U's in a shared rack.
  • 40.55 in chassis depth: measure your rack and cable arm clearance against this before ordering — deeper than a lot of compute-only 1U nodes because of the front bay array.
  • 57.32 lb bare weight: check your rail kit's load rating with fully populated drives and a dual-CPU load in mind, not just the bare chassis figure.

Deployment Considerations:

  • This is a barebone — budget separately for CPU, memory, and drives, and confirm compatible AsRock Rack components before ordering since none are specified here.
  • Detailed platform specs (socket, memory type, networking, PSU wattage) aren't available in this listing — get those confirmed against AsRock's own platform documentation before committing to a build.

Reach for the 1U12E-GENOA2 when you're standing up a dense storage or NVR backend node in a space-constrained rack and plan to build the compute configuration yourself rather than buy a fixed appliance.
