AsRock 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T 1U Rackmount Storage Server Barebone

The AsRock 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T is a 1U rackmount barebone server built around a single-socket AMD EPYC "Genoa" platform, designed as a foundation for storage-dense or compute workloads in standard 19-inch racks. At 38.58 x 24.80 x 8.66 in and 41.45 lb, model 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T occupies a single rack unit while its extended depth reflects the chassis space needed for a 1U4L4E storage/drive layout paired with AMD's current-generation server platform.

Overview

As a barebone chassis, the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T ships as the structural and platform foundation — rack rails, chassis, and single-socket Genoa-compatible motherboard tray — leaving CPU, memory, drives, and expansion cards to be configured to the deployment's workload. This is standard practice for integrators who need to match compute and storage precisely to a project's budget and performance target rather than pay for a fixed configuration. The unit is manufactured in Taiwan (TW), AsRock's home production base for its server and rack platforms.

Key Features

• 1U Rack Form Factor: Occupies a single rack unit, so it fits standard 19-inch cabinets without eating into space budgeted for switches, NVRs, or additional compute nodes — a real consideration in space-constrained network closets and colocation racks.
• Single-Socket AMD Genoa Platform: Built for AMD's EPYC "Genoa" generation, giving integrators access to high core-count single-socket configurations for storage controllers, virtualization hosts, or edge compute nodes without the cost and power overhead of a dual-socket board.
• 38.58 in Chassis Depth: Confirm rack depth before ordering — at nearly 39 inches, this unit needs a full-depth rack cabinet; shallow wall-mount or half-depth racks will not accommodate it.
• 41.45 lb Chassis Weight: Meaningful for planning rack loading and shipping — factor this into cumulative rack weight calculations alongside drives, risers, and add-in cards once configured.

Integration & Compatibility

As a barebone platform, the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T (often searched as 1U4L4E GENOA/2T) integrates with AMD Genoa-generation CPUs and standard server-grade DDR5 memory and PCIe add-in cards sized for 1U clearance. Confirm specific CPU, memory, and drive compatibility lists against AsRock's published configuration guidance before finalizing a build, since barebone platforms are validated against a defined component list rather than open compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T a complete server or a barebone kit?

A: It is a barebone chassis and platform — the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T ships with the rack chassis and single-socket AMD Genoa-compatible board tray, with CPU, memory, storage, and expansion configured separately to match the workload.

Q: What rack depth do I need for the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T?

A: The chassis measures 38.58 x 24.80 x 8.66 in (L x W x H), so a full-depth 19-inch rack cabinet is required.

Q: How much does the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T weigh?

A: The barebone chassis weighs 41.45 lb before CPU, memory, drives, or add-in cards are installed.

Q: Where is the 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T manufactured?

A: The unit's country of origin is Taiwan (TW).

The 1U4L4E-GENOA/2T is a single-socket AMD Genoa barebone in a 1U chassis — I look at this class of product as the shell you build a storage node or compute host around, not a finished server. At 38.58 x 24.80 x 8.66 in, it's a full-depth 1U unit, and at 41.45 lb before any drives or add-in cards go in, plan your rack loading with headroom.

Technical Highlights:

• 1U Rack Form Factor: Single rack-unit height keeps density high in racks already carrying switches, NVRs, or other 1U compute nodes.
• Single-Socket AMD Genoa Platform: Targets EPYC Genoa-generation CPUs, giving high core counts in a single-socket board — lower platform cost and power draw than a dual-socket design for workloads that don't need it.
• 38.58 in Depth: This is a long chassis as 1U servers go — verify your rack's usable depth before ordering, since shallow enclosures won't clear it.

Deployment Considerations:

• As a barebone, final performance depends entirely on the CPU, memory, and drives you configure — budget that into the project cost, not just the chassis price.
• At nearly 39 inches deep and over 41 lb bare, confirm both rack depth and rail weight rating before mounting, especially once populated with drives and a full memory complement.

This is the right starting point for an integrator building a single-socket Genoa storage or virtualization node in a colocation or on-prem rack where full chassis depth is available and component selection needs to stay flexible.
