AsRock 1U2LW-X570/2L2T 1U Rackmount Server Barebone
The AsRock 1U2LW-X570/2L2T is a 1U rackmount server barebone built around the AMD AM4 socket, supporting AMD Ryzen 5000 series PGA processors for compact edge compute, VMS host, or NVR-adjacent server deployments where rack space is limited. At 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 inches and 24.82 lb, this chassis fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures without eating multiple rack units — a real consideration when you're stacking recording servers alongside switches and UPS gear in a shallow network closet. The 1U2LW-X570/2L2T (often searched as 1U2LW X570/2L2T) targets integrators who need a compact, self-built server platform rather than a pre-configured tower.
Overview
This barebone ships as a chassis-and-motherboard platform on the X570 chipset, letting you spec RAM, storage, and the Ryzen 5000 CPU to match the workload — whether that's a VMS server, an application host, or a dedicated recording node sitting in the same rack as your cameras and switches. The 1U form factor is the deciding factor for most buyers: it's the difference between a server that fits your existing rack layout and one that forces a re-plan of your rack elevation.
Key Features
- AMD AM4 socket, Ryzen 5000 PGA support: gives you a modern multi-core CPU option in a compact chassis, useful when you need more processing headroom than an embedded NVR platform but don't want a full tower server occupying multiple rack units.
- 1U rack form factor: a single rack unit keeps this platform dense in mixed-equipment racks — pair it with rack-mount network video recorders or a PoE switch without burning extra vertical space.
- 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 in chassis: the 22.44-inch depth is worth measuring against your rack or cabinet before ordering — deep 1U chassis like this one can exceed shallow wall-mount rack enclosures.
- 24.82 lb barebone weight: light enough for a single installer to rack without a lift, though you'll still want rail support once populated with drives and RAM.
- Taiwan (TW) country of origin: manufactured and sourced with a documented origin, relevant for buyers tracking supply chain provenance on infrastructure hardware.
Integration & Compatibility
Because this is a barebone platform, final compatibility depends on the CPU, memory, and storage you select for the AM4 socket and X570 chipset. It's a reasonable host for VMS software deployments or as a general application server in a security operations rack, sitting alongside an IP camera deployment's recording infrastructure. Review the AsRock server catalog for chipset-specific memory and drive support before finalizing a build list, and consult a PoE and network planning guide if this server will anchor a larger camera deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What CPU does the 1U2LW-X570/2L2T support?
A: It uses the AMD AM4 socket and supports AMD Ryzen 5000 series PGA processors.
Q: What rack space does the 1U2LW-X570/2L2T require?
A: It's a 1U rackmount chassis measuring 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 inches, occupying a single rack unit.
Q: How much does the 1U2LW-X570/2L2T weigh?
A: The barebone chassis weighs 24.82 lb.
Q: Where is the 1U2LW-X570/2L2T manufactured?
A: Country of origin is Taiwan (TW).
Q: Does the 1U2LW-X570/2L2T include a CPU, RAM, or storage?
A: It is a barebone platform — the AM4 socket and X570 chipset support Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, but processor, memory, and storage are selected separately.
The 1U2LW-X570/2L2T crosses my desk whenever a client needs a compact application or recording server for a rack that's already tight on space. This is an AM4/X570 barebone — you're not buying a finished server, you're buying the chassis and board and building out the rest.
Technical Highlights:
- AM4 socket, Ryzen 5000 PGA support: lets you spec a modern desktop-class CPU with strong single-thread performance into a 1U server chassis — useful for VMS workloads that don't need dual-socket Xeon horsepower.
- 1U form factor at 25.00 x 22.44 x 8.46 in: the 22.44-inch width and depth footprint is deeper than some shallow 1U units, so confirm rail and cabinet clearance before you order.
- 24.82 lb bare weight: manageable for one installer to rack unpopulated, but plan for it to gain several pounds once RAM, drives, and a cooler are installed.
Deployment Considerations:
- Because this is a barebone, budget separately for CPU, memory, storage, and OS licensing — the listed spec covers chassis and motherboard only.
- The 22.44-inch depth is the gotcha: measure your rack before ordering, since some network closets are built around shallower 1U gear.
Good fit for an integrator racking a dedicated VMS or recording-adjacent application server into an existing 19-inch enclosure where a full tower server won't fit — pair it with rack-mount storage and a managed switch to round out the rack.
