Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- AM4 socket compatibility allows use of cost-effective Ryzen desktop processors in a server environment.
- IPMI via the ASPEED 2500 BMC provides full remote management including KVM, power control, and health monitoring.
- Three PCIe expansion slots (x16, x8, and x4) offer flexibility for adding network cards, HBAs, or GPUs.
- Dual Intel i210 Gigabit LAN ports deliver reliable network throughput with a well-supported controller.
👎 Cons
- The 300W power supply limits the ability to install high-TDP processors or power-hungry PCIe add-in cards.
- 1U form factor creates significant thermal constraints, requiring careful attention to CPU cooler selection and airflow.
- As a barebone, the total cost of ownership rises once you add a compatible Ryzen CPU, DDR4 memory, and drives.
- AM4 platform limits memory to unbuffered DIMMs with a 128GB ceiling, which is lower than typical Xeon or EPYC server platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What processors does the ASRock 1U4LW-X470 support?
It supports AMD AM4 socket Ryzen processors, including standard Ryzen series and Ryzen 7nm CPUs. You will need to purchase the CPU separately.
Does this barebone include RAM or storage?
No. This is a barebone server, meaning it includes the chassis, motherboard, and power supply. RAM, CPU, and storage drives must be purchased separately.
Does the server support ECC memory?
Yes. It supports both ECC and non-ECC unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs across four memory slots, with a maximum capacity of 128GB.
How is remote management handled?
The board includes an ASPEED 2500 BMC controller with IPMI over a dedicated Realtek RTL8211E Gigabit LAN port, allowing full out-of-band remote management.
How many external drive bays does it have?
It supports four external 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, plus two internal 2.5-inch bays and an optional slim ODD or additional 2.5-inch bay.
