AsRock 1U2E-X570 1U Rack Server Barebone

Overview

The AsRock 1U2E-X570 is a 1U rack-mount server barebone built around the X570 chipset and a PGA 1331 socket for AMD Ryzen 5000-series desktop-class processors. It ships as a chassis-and-motherboard platform with hot-swap drive bays, letting integrators finish the build with the CPU, memory, storage, and add-in cards a given deployment needs rather than paying for a fixed configuration. At 24.80 lb and 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 in (L x W x H), it occupies a single rack unit while keeping enough chassis depth for dual power supplies and multiple drive carriers — verify your rack depth against the 25-inch chassis length before ordering.

Key Features

• AMD Ryzen 5000 (PGA 1331) support on X570: gives you access to Ryzen desktop-class core counts and clock speeds in a rack platform, useful where a project needs single-thread performance the typical server-socket CPU doesn't prioritize.
• 1U rack form factor: the 1U2E-X570 holds a full rack unit of density, so plan power and cooling per-U rather than assuming server-socket thermal headroom.
• 2x hot-swap bays: drives can be serviced or replaced without powering down the chassis, which matters for any deployment that can't tolerate a maintenance window.
• TW country of origin: relevant for buyers tracking supply chain origin on procurement paperwork.

Integration & Compatibility

Because the 1U2E-X570 (often searched as 1U2E X570) is a barebone rather than a complete system, confirm memory, storage, and expansion card compatibility against the X570 platform specification before finalizing a build list — this page does not include a full component compatibility matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What CPUs does the AsRock 1U2E-X570 support?

A: It uses a PGA 1331 socket paired with the X570 chipset, built for AMD Ryzen 5000-series processors.

Q: Is the 1U2E-X570 a complete server or a barebone?

A: It is a barebone platform — chassis, motherboard, and hot-swap bays are included; CPU, memory, and storage are added separately.

Q: What rack space does the 1U2E-X570 require?

A: It occupies 1U of rack space, with chassis dimensions of 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 in (L x W x H) and a weight of 24.80 lb.

Q: How many drive bays does the 1U2E-X570 have?

A: It includes 2 hot-swap drive bays.

James Everett

The 1U2E-X570 caught my eye because it's a Ryzen desktop-socket build in a 1U rack chassis — the PGA 1331 socket on X570 is not something you see often in rack-mount barebones, most of which stick to server-class sockets.

Technical Highlights:

• PGA 1331 / X570 platform: opens the door to Ryzen 5000-series clock speeds and per-core performance in a 1U chassis, worth a look for workloads bottlenecked on single-thread speed rather than core count.
• 2x hot-swap bays: lets you pull or replace a drive without a maintenance window — standard practice for anything running production workloads.
• 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 in chassis at 24.80 lb: confirm rack depth before ordering — this is a full-depth 1U chassis, not a short-depth unit.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a barebone — budget separately for CPU, RAM, storage drives, and any add-in cards the deployment needs.
• Desktop-socket platforms like X570 typically carry different memory and expansion limits than server-socket boards; verify component compatibility before committing to a parts list.

A fit for integrators building a compact, single-socket Ryzen rack server — for example a branch-office application server or a light virtualization host — where 1U density and hot-swap storage matter more than dual-socket scale.
