AsRock 1U4LW-ROME/2T 1U Rackmount Server Barebone

The 1U4LW-ROME/2T is a 1U rackmount server barebone built around a single Socket SP3 platform — AsRock's designation for its AMD EPYC 7002/7003 "Rome" generation server line. It ships as a bare chassis-and-board platform with 4 drive bays, giving integrators a defined starting point for building out storage servers, VMS recording nodes, or virtualization hosts without paying for a pre-configured system they'll strip down anyway. The model is also searched as 1U4LW ROME/2T.

Overview

At 31.10 x 25.20 x 9.06 in and 63.22 lb, this is a full-depth 1U chassis — plan your rack depth and cable management accordingly before ordering, since full-depth 1U units don't fit every short-depth cabinet. Country of origin is Taiwan, which matters for buyers tracking supply chain documentation on federal or NDAA-adjacent procurements.

Key Features

• Single Socket SP3: targets AMD EPYC "Rome"-class server CPUs, giving you high core-count options in a 1U footprint for consolidating workloads that would otherwise need multiple rack units.
• 4 drive bays: enough front-accessible storage for a small-to-midsize NVR build, a virtualization host with local redundancy, or an application server needing direct-attached storage without a separate JBOD.
• 1U rack form factor: standard 1U rack pitch, the right call when rack unit space is the constraint and you're stacking multiple compute or storage nodes in the same cabinet.
• 63.22 lb chassis weight: factor this into rail load ratings and shipping/receiving logistics — heavier than a typical 1U compute-only chassis, consistent with a fuller drive-bay and power configuration.

Integration & Compatibility

As a barebone platform, the 1U4LW-ROME/2T is intended to be built out with a compatible SP3 processor, memory, and storage rather than run out of the box. Confirm CPU, RAM, and drive compatibility against AsRock's own documentation for this model before ordering components — those details are not included here. For buyers speccing this into a broader recording or compute deployment, review current network video recorders and rack server options to compare a barebone build against a pre-configured unit, and check a PoE switch lineup if this server will anchor a camera network. A VMS architecture guide is worth reading before finalizing drive and CPU counts for a recording workload. Browse the full AsRock server lineup for other socket and bay configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What CPU socket does the 1U4LW-ROME/2T use?

A: A single Socket SP3, which supports AMD EPYC "Rome"-generation server processors.

Q: How many drive bays does the 1U4LW-ROME/2T have?

A: Four drive bays.

Q: Is the 1U4LW-ROME/2T a complete server or a barebone?

A: It is a barebone platform — CPU, memory, and storage are added separately to complete the build.

Q: What is the rack form factor of the 1U4LW-ROME/2T?

A: 1U rackmount, measuring 31.10 x 25.20 x 9.06 in and weighing 63.22 lb.

James Everett

The 1U4LW-ROME/2T is a bare-bones play: single Socket SP3, 4 drive bays, full-depth 1U chassis at 63.22 lb. I spec platforms like this when a client wants control over which EPYC "Rome" SKU and memory config goes in rather than inheriting a vendor's default build.

Technical Highlights:

• Single Socket SP3: one CPU socket keeps cost and power draw down versus dual-socket 1U platforms, while still opening the door to high-core-count EPYC parts if the workload needs it.
• 4 drive bays: enough for a small RAID array or a mixed OS-plus-storage layout without stepping up to a 2U chassis.
• 31.10 x 25.20 x 9.06 in, 63.22 lb: confirm full rack depth clearance before ordering — this is not a short-depth chassis, and the weight should factor into your rail and cable-arm planning.

Deployment Considerations:

• This ships as a barebone — budget separately for the SP3 CPU, memory, and drives, and confirm compatible part numbers against AsRock's documentation before purchase.
• Full-depth 1U chassis at 63+ lb loaded will need proper rail support; don't rely on a shelf mount in a lightweight cabinet.

Reasonable fit for an integrator building a compact single-socket EPYC recording or compute node for a rack-constrained comms closet, where a full 2U dual-socket build would be overkill.
