AsRock 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T 24-Bay Single-Socket SP5 Server Barebone

Overview

The AsRock 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T is a 1U rack server barebone built around a single AMD EPYC (SP5/"Genoa") socket, configured for all-flash NVMe deployment with 24 hot-swap E1.S drive bays up front. At 30.60 x 17.20 x 1.70 in and 59.53 lb, it occupies a single rack unit — a fit-check every integrator should run against existing rack depth before ordering. The chassis ships from Taiwan (country of origin TW) as a barebone platform, meaning CPU, memory, drives, and OS are added at integration time rather than pre-configured. Buyers sometimes search this model as 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T or 1U24E1S GENOA/2L2T — same part.

Key Features

• 24x hot-swap E1.S bays: front-loaded NVMe drive density in a 1U footprint gives you a high-IOPS, all-flash storage node without stepping up to a 2U chassis — relevant for space-constrained racks or colocation billing by U.
• Single-socket SP5 platform: built for AMD EPYC "Genoa"-class processors, targeting workloads where a dense single-CPU node simplifies licensing and thermal design compared to dual-socket boards.
• 2L2T naming designation: the model suffix indicates the onboard LAN/network configuration on this SKU — confirm exact port count and speed against the quote before final BOM sign-off, since that detail isn't fully specified here.
• 1U chassis at 1.70 in height: standard 1U rack compliance for high-density deployments where every U counts toward colocation cost or rack budget.
• 59.53 lb barebone weight: factor this into rack rail load ratings and shipping/installation planning, especially before populating with 24 drives, memory, and a CPU.

Integration & Compatibility

As a barebone, this chassis pairs with a customer-selected SP5-socket EPYC processor, DDR5 memory, and E1.S NVMe drives sized to the workload — storage-dense analytics, virtualization hosts, or database nodes are typical fits for a 24-bay all-NVMe 1U layout. Confirm drive, memory, and CPU compatibility against AsRock's qualified vendor list before finalizing a build, since that detail isn't included in the specs provided here. If you're scoping out a broader deployment, it's worth reviewing rack server platforms alongside network video recorders or storage-heavy edge nodes so the rest of the rack — switching, power, and cabling — gets sized correctly from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T include a CPU and memory?

A: No — this is a barebone chassis. CPU (SP5-socket AMD EPYC), memory, and E1.S drives are added separately at integration.

Q: How many drive bays does the 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T support?

A: 24 hot-swap E1.S bays, front-accessible in a 1U chassis.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T?

A: 30.60 x 17.20 x 1.70 inches (L x W x H), weighing 59.53 lb as a barebone.

Q: Where is the 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T manufactured?

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

The 1U24E1S-GENOA/2L2T is one of those chassis where the drive layout tells you the intended workload before you even look at the CPU socket — 24 hot-swap E1.S bays in a single rack unit is an all-flash, high-density storage or virtualization play, not a general-purpose file server.

Technical Highlights:

• 24x E1.S hot-swap bays: E1.S is the denser, better-thermal-profile successor to U.2 in 1U chassis designs — packing two dozen of them into 1.70 in of chassis height is aggressive drive density that most 1U boards can't match.
• Single SP5 socket: a one-CPU EPYC Genoa platform keeps NUMA topology simple, which matters for storage controllers and NVMe-heavy workloads that are sensitive to cross-socket latency.
• 59.53 lb / 30.60 x 17.20 x 1.70 in: confirm your rack depth (30.6 in is deep for some enterprise racks) and rail weight rating before populating this barebone with 24 drives plus a full memory kit.

Deployment Considerations:

• This ships as a barebone — budget separately for the SP5 EPYC processor, DDR5 DIMMs, and 24x E1.S drives, none of which are included.
• The "2L2T" suffix in the model name typically signals onboard LAN configuration, but exact port speed isn't specified here — verify against AsRock's spec sheet or your quote before finalizing network cabling plans.

This is the right barebone to spec when a customer needs a dense, single-socket, all-NVMe 1U node for storage or virtualization and doesn't need dual-socket compute — think a colocation storage node or a hyperconverged building block where rack space is billed by the U.
