AsRock 2U12L2S-SIENA 2U Single-Socket SP6 Server Barebone

Overview

The AsRock 2U12L2S-SIENA is a 2U rack-mount server barebone built around a single SP6 (LGA 4844) processor socket with a 12-bay drive layout, positioning it for storage-dense workloads such as video management servers, database hosts, and virtualization nodes where rack density matters. At roughly 55.69 lb, this is a fully-loaded chassis-class platform meant for standard 19-inch rack integration, not a desktop or edge deployment. The 2U12L2S-SIENA (often searched as 2U12L2S SIENA) ships as a barebone, meaning the buyer sources and installs the CPU, memory, storage, and any add-in cards to match the target workload.

Key Features

• Single SP6 (LGA 4844) socket: a server-class socket platform, giving integrators a dedicated single-CPU build path for workloads that don't need dual-socket complexity or cost.
• 12-bay drive configuration: substantial local storage capacity in a 2U footprint — relevant for recording servers or storage nodes where drive count directly drives usable capacity per rack unit.
• 2U rack form factor: fits standard 19-inch rack infrastructure alongside other network video recorders and compute nodes without consuming excess rack space.
• 55.69 lb chassis weight: plan rack rail and shipping handling accordingly — this is a two-person lift once populated with drives and a CPU.

Integration & Compatibility

As a barebone platform, the 2U12L2S-SIENA pairs with SP6-compatible processors and standard server memory and storage sourced separately. For buyers standardizing a rack, review the broader AsRock server lineup and the server and compute category to match chassis density to workload. Power and rack planning should also account for power supply requirements sized to the final CPU and drive configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many drive bays does the 2U12L2S-SIENA have?

A: It's configured with 12 drive bays in a 2U chassis.

Q: What is the country of origin for the 2U12L2S-SIENA?

A: Taiwan (TW).

Q: Does the 2U12L2S-SIENA include a CPU and RAM?

A: No — it ships as a barebone chassis; CPU, memory, and storage are sourced and installed separately.

The 2U12L2S-SIENA lands on my desk whenever someone's planning a storage-dense 2U node and doesn't want dual-socket overhead. Single SP6 (LGA 4844) socket, 12 drive bays, 2U chassis — that's the whole story on the barebone, and it's enough to plan a build around.

Technical Highlights:

• SP6 (LGA 4844) single socket: one CPU slot keeps board cost and power budget lower than a dual-socket 2U build, while still giving you server-class core counts depending on the SP6 part you drop in.
• 12-bay drive layout: in a 2U chassis, 12 bays is a solid density figure for recording or storage nodes — plan your RAID/JBOD layout around that count before ordering drives.
• 55.69 lb chassis weight: factor this into rail selection and rack loading calculations, especially once drives and a CPU/heatsink are installed and the shipping weight climbs further.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a barebone — budget separately for the SP6 CPU, ECC memory, drives, and any NIC or HBA cards the workload needs before it's rack-ready.
• At nearly 56 lb bare, plan for two-person handling during rack install, and confirm rail kit compatibility with your cabinet depth before mounting.

Reach for the 2U12L2S-SIENA when you're standing up a single-socket 2U recording or storage node and need 12 drive bays of local capacity without the cost and complexity of a dual-socket board.
