AsRock SPC741D8-2L2T/BCM CEB Server Motherboard

The AsRock SPC741D8-2L2T/BCM is a single-socket CEB-format server motherboard built for 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platforms, sized for rackmount chassis and dense compute deployments. At 14.20 x 12.70 x 2.80 in and 3.75 lb, it fits standard CEB-compatible rack and tower enclosures without custom tray modification — a straightforward swap-in for integrators standardizing on CEB form factor across a fleet. SPC741D8-2L2T/BCM ships as a bare board for system builders and integrators assembling custom Xeon-based servers rather than as a pre-configured system.

Overview

This board targets buyers deploying Xeon-class compute for virtualization hosts, storage servers, or edge processing nodes tied to network video recorders and VMS backends. The onboard dual 2.5GbE LAN controllers (2L2T in the model designation) give you redundant or teamed network paths without a separate NIC card, which matters when rack space and PCIe lane budget are already committed to storage or GPU expansion.

Key Features

CEB form factor (14.20 x 12.70 in): matches standard CEB rack chassis and tray mounting patterns, so you're not sourcing a proprietary enclosure to match the board.

Dual 2.5GbE onboard LAN: built-in network redundancy or link aggregation without spending a PCIe slot on an add-in NIC — keeps expansion slots open for storage controllers or capture cards.

3.75 lb board weight: factor this into shipping and rack-mounted chassis weight budgets when planning multi-node deployments.

Country of origin CN: relevant for procurement teams tracking supply chain origin on government or NDAA-scoped bids — confirm compliance requirements against your specific contract before purchase.

Integration & Compatibility

As a single-socket 4th Gen Intel Xeon platform, this board pairs with Xeon Scalable processors from that generation — verify exact CPU model support against your build sheet before ordering memory and cooling. Integrators building recording or analytics servers for a surveillance camera deployment should size the CPU and RAM configuration to the expected channel count and analytics load before finalizing a bill of materials.

James Everett

The SPC741D8-2L2T/BCM lands on my desk when a build calls for a CEB-format single-socket Xeon board with networking already sorted. The dual 2.5GbE LAN pair means I don't have to burn a PCIe slot on a NIC before I've even started planning storage.

Technical Highlights:

CEB form factor: at 14.20 x 12.70 x 2.80 in, it drops into standard CEB rack trays without a custom chassis order.
Dual 2.5GbE LAN (2L2T): onboard redundancy or NIC teaming without eating an expansion slot you'll want later for a RAID or capture card.
3.75 lb board weight: light enough that it doesn't meaningfully move the needle on a populated 1U or 2U chassis weight budget.

Deployment Considerations:

Confirm your specific 4th Gen Xeon Scalable CPU is on the board's supported list before ordering — socket generation compatibility alone isn't a guarantee of full feature support.
Country of origin is CN — flag this early if you're quoting into a contract with sourcing restrictions.

Best fit: a systems integrator standardizing a rack of recording or virtualization nodes on CEB chassis who wants dual 2.5GbE out of the box instead of sourcing add-in NICs for every board.
