AsRock 1U4L4E-ROME/2T 1U Rackmount Server Barebone, 4 Bays

The AsRock 1U4L4E-ROME/2T is a 1U rackmount server barebone chassis built around a 4-bay drive configuration — a starting platform for integrators building out storage, virtualization, or edge compute nodes without committing to a fixed-configuration off-the-shelf server. As a barebone, the 1U4L4E-ROME/2T (often searched as 1U4L4E ROME/2T) ships as chassis-level hardware for teams that want control over their own CPU, memory, and drive selection rather than a locked BOM.

Overview

At 38.58 x 25.00 x 9.06 inches, this is a full-depth 1U chassis — plan your rack layout and cable management accordingly, since 25 inches of depth won't fit in shallow open-frame or wall-mount racks. Weight is listed at 49.27 lb, which is substantial for a 1U unit and reflects a steel chassis built for continuous data-center or server-room duty rather than a lightweight desktop-adjacent build. The unit is manufactured in Taiwan (TW country of origin), consistent with AsRock's standard production footprint for its server and rack-mount lines.

Key Features

• 1U Rack Form Factor: Standard 1U height maximizes rack density — you can stack more compute or storage nodes per rack unit of space compared to 2U or tower alternatives, which matters when colocation or server-room real estate is billed by the U.
• 4 Drive Bays: Four bays give you room to configure a small RAID array (mirroring or striping) or split capacity between an OS volume and bulk storage, without needing to jump to a 2U or larger chassis.
• 38.58 x 25.00 x 9.06 in Chassis: The extended 25-inch depth is typical of server-grade 1U designs that need room for full-length expansion cards and adequate airflow across the motherboard tray — verify your rack's usable depth before ordering.
• 49.27 lb Chassis Weight: Confirm rail kit and rack weight-capacity ratings before deployment, especially if this unit will sit in a multi-server rack near its load limit.
• Taiwan-Manufactured: Built in AsRock's established Taiwan production base, consistent with the supply chain for its broader server barebone lineup.

Because detailed processor, chipset, memory, networking, and power-supply specifications for this exact configuration aren't confirmed in current documentation, integrators should verify CPU socket support, RAM capacity, and I/O configuration directly against the specific build sheet before finalizing a deployment plan. This barebone pairs naturally with rack accessories and network video recorders or compute infrastructure already in an AsRock server lineup — check power and rack planning guidance before committing to a full rack build.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: 38.58 x 25.00 x 9.06 inches (L x W x H), a full-depth 1U rack unit.

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

A: 49.27 lb for the bare chassis.

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

A: Taiwan (TW).

The 1U4L4E-ROME/2T crosses my desk as a 4-bay 1U barebone, and the first thing I check on any rack chassis like this is depth — at 25 inches, this one needs a full-size rack, not a shallow network cabinet.

Technical Highlights:

• 4 Drive Bays: enough for a small RAID 1 or RAID 10 array without stepping up to a 2U chassis.
• 1U Form Factor: maximizes rack density for compute or storage nodes going into a shared rack.
• 49.27 lb Chassis: a heavier-gauge build than typical 1U units — factor that into rail kit and rack load calculations.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your rack's usable depth before ordering — 25 inches will not clear shallow or open-frame racks.
• This is a barebone: CPU, RAM, drives, and networking need to be sourced and configured separately since those specifics aren't part of this chassis listing.

Reach for the 1U4L4E-ROME/2T when you're building out a compact 4-bay storage or compute node for a full-depth data center rack and want to control your own component selection rather than buying a locked configuration.
