AsRock X570D4U-2L2T Micro-ATX Server Motherboard
The AsRock X570D4U-2L2T is an AM4-socket micro-ATX server motherboard built around the X570 chipset, aimed at integrators who need dual 10GbE networking on a compact server board footprint rather than a full ATX chassis. At 10.90 x 11.40 in with a board weight of 2.50 lb, X570D4U-2L2T fits micro-ATX server cases and rack chassis where a full-size ATX board won't clear drive cages or airflow baffles.
Overview
This board targets edge servers, NVR/VMS host builds, and small-footprint compute nodes where onboard 10GbE (2x, per the model designation) removes the need for a separate network card. The X570D4U-2L2T (often searched as X570D4U 2L2T) uses the PGA 1331 AM4 socket, which pins this board to AMD Ryzen desktop and Ryzen PRO processor families rather than server-specific EPYC silicon — a tradeoff that keeps CPU costs down for buyers who don't need EPYC's core counts or memory channels.
Key Features
- Micro-ATX form factor (10.90 x 11.40 in): fits shorter-depth server chassis and rack enclosures that won't accept a full ATX board — check your chassis standoff layout before ordering.
- AM4 PGA 1331 socket: pairs with AMD Ryzen/Ryzen PRO desktop-class CPUs, giving you a lower-cost upgrade and replacement path than proprietary server sockets.
- Dual 10GbE LAN (2L2T designation): two onboard 10-gigabit ports mean you can run a management/storage network split or link-aggregate for NVR ingest without adding a PCIe NIC — useful when PCIe slots are already committed to storage or capture cards.
- 2.50 lb board weight: a lightweight, compact-format board suited to rack-dense builds where every rack unit and every gram of chassis loading matters.
- China country of origin: relevant for buyers tracking supply chain documentation on server infrastructure purchases.
Integration & Compatibility
Because the X570D4U-2L2T uses a standard micro-ATX outline, it drops into most micro-ATX server chassis and rack cases built to that spec. Confirm CPU cooler clearance and PCIe slot access against your specific chassis before purchase, since exact slot count, M.2 layout, and BIOS/BMC management features are not listed here — check the AsRock Rack datasheet for full I/O and expansion detail before finalizing a build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What socket does the X570D4U-2L2T use?
A: AM4, PGA 1331 — compatible with supported AMD Ryzen/Ryzen PRO desktop processors.
Q: Does the X570D4U-2L2T include onboard 10GbE networking?
A: Yes, the model designation (2L2T) indicates dual 10GbE LAN ports on board.
Q: What form factor is the X570D4U-2L2T?
A: Micro-ATX, measuring 10.90 x 11.40 x 2.00 in and weighing 2.50 lb.
Q: Where is the X570D4U-2L2T manufactured?
A: Country of origin is China (CN), per manufacturer shipping data.
The X570D4U-2L2T lands on my desk when a customer needs dual 10GbE on a board that still fits a micro-ATX rack chassis — the 10.90 x 11.40 in footprint is the deciding factor over full-ATX server boards.
Technical Highlights:
- PGA 1331 AM4 socket: lets you run AMD Ryzen/Ryzen PRO desktop CPUs instead of locking into EPYC pricing — good for edge nodes that don't need EPYC's core density.
- Dual 10GbE (2L2T): two onboard 10-gig ports free up your PCIe slots for storage or capture hardware instead of a NIC.
- 2.50 lb / 10.90 x 11.40 x 2.00 in: compact enough for space-constrained rack builds where a full ATX board won't clear the chassis.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your chassis accepts a micro-ATX board with this exact mounting pattern before ordering — not all 1U/2U rack cases do.
- Full I/O detail (M.2 count, PCIe slot layout, BMC/IPMI presence) isn't listed in this record — confirm against the AsRock Rack datasheet for your exact build requirements before committing.
Best fit: a compact edge-server or NVR host build where dual 10GbE onboard networking and a micro-ATX footprint both matter, and where AM4-class CPU performance is sufficient for the workload.
