AsRock 1U4LW-C262/2L2T 1U Single-Socket LGA1700 Rack Server Barebone

The 1U4LW-C262/2L2T is a 1U rack server barebone from AsRock built around a single LGA 1700 socket, giving integrators a compact chassis-and-motherboard foundation for edge compute, VMS recording nodes, or branch-office server builds. At 31.10 x 25.17 x 9.45 in (L x W x H), it fits standard 1U rack positions without eating excessive rail depth in shallower cabinets — worth measuring against your rack's usable depth before ordering. As a barebone, the 1U4LW-C262/2L2T ships without CPU, memory, storage, or OS preinstalled, so plan your own LGA 1700 processor, DIMMs, and drives around the build.

Overview

This platform targets integrators who want control over the exact CPU, RAM, and storage configuration rather than a fixed-spec appliance. The single-socket LGA 1700 design supports current-generation Intel desktop-class processors in that socket family, which typically means strong single-thread performance for workloads like video management software or lightly virtualized edge services — confirm exact CPU compatibility against AsRock's published support list before purchasing a processor.

Key Features

• 1U rack form factor: standard rack-unit height keeps it stackable in shared server or network racks alongside network video recorders and switching gear.
• LGA 1700 socket: single-socket support for Intel processors in this socket generation, letting you size CPU cores and clock speed to the workload instead of being locked to a fixed SKU.
• Dual 2L2T networking designation: the 2L2T naming indicates dual LAN with 2.5GbE-class ports, useful for separating management traffic from primary data or recording traffic on a single unit.
• 31.10 x 25.17 x 9.45 in chassis: verify this depth against your rack's usable rail length — some 1U chassis at this depth need a deeper cabinet than typical 24-27 in rack servers.
• Barebone configuration: no CPU, RAM, or drives included, which keeps upfront cost down if you're sourcing components separately or reusing parts from a decommissioned build.

Integration & Compatibility

Because the 1U4LW-C262/2L2T is a barebone, final compatibility depends on the LGA 1700 CPU, DIMM type, and drive interface you pair with it. Pull the CPU support list and memory QVL from AsRock before finalizing a bill of materials — this avoids a mismatched processor or unsupported memory speed on delivery. For deployments feeding a video recording stack or a small server role, pair the chassis with appropriately rated power supplies and rack rails sized to its 25.17 in depth.

The AsRock 1U4LW-C262/2L2T (often searched as 1U4LW C262/2L2T) is manufactured in Taiwan, which buyers sourcing for government or NDAA-sensitive projects will want to confirm against their specific compliance checklist — country of origin alone does not establish NDAA compliance.

Jerry Tildsen

The 1U4LW-C262/2L2T is a bare-bones build, so the value here is flexibility, not a plug-and-play spec sheet. I look at this as a shell: single LGA 1700 socket, 1U rack chassis at 31.10 x 25.17 x 9.45 in, and dual 2.5GbE-class LAN per the 2L2T designation.

Technical Highlights:

• LGA 1700 socket: lets you drop in the CPU that fits your workload and budget instead of inheriting a fixed processor tier.
• Dual LAN (2L2T): two 2.5GbE-class ports give you a practical split between management and data/recording traffic without an add-in NIC.
• 31.10 x 25.17 x 9.45 in chassis: the 25.17 in depth is the number to check against your rack before you order — it's deeper than some compact 1U units.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm CPU and memory compatibility against AsRock's published QVL before buying components — a barebone gives you flexibility, but only within the platform's actual support list.
• No drives, RAM, or CPU are included, so budget for those separately and factor lead time on the processor if you're pairing it with a specific chip.

Reasonable fit for an integrator building a compact edge recording or branch-office compute node who wants to control the exact CPU and memory spec rather than buying a fixed-configuration 1U server.
