ASRock Rack has unveiled two new motherboards designed for Intel’s Ice Lake SP platform, the SPC621D8 and the SPC621D8-2L2T. Both boards characteristic a single LGA4189 socket design on an ATX-sized PCB, with eight reminiscence slots supporting as much as 2 TB of DDR4-3200 reminiscence, seven PCIe 4.Zero slots, and twin PCIe 3.Zero M.2 slots. The SPC621D8-2L2T additionally will get 5 Ethernet ports, together with twin 10 Gb Ethernet on the rear panel.
On the floor, each the ASRock Rack SPC621D8-2L2T and the SPC621D8 share the identical core characteristic set, which incorporates 4 full-length PCIe 4.Zero x16 slots and three half-length PCIe 4.Zero x8 slots. Three of the full-length slots will robotically change right down to PCIe 4.Zero x8 when the decrease half-length slot is populated. Sitting on both aspect of the transposed LGA4189 socket are eight reminiscence slots which might be organized into two banks of 4. These slots can help as much as 2 TB of DDR4-3200 reminiscence, within the type of RDIMMs and LRDIMMs.
The ASRock Rack SPC621D8-2L2T motherboard
The ASRock Rack SPC621D8-2L2T and the SPC621D8 each embrace a diversified collection of storage choices, together with one PCIe 3.Zero x4/SATA M.2 slot and one PCIe 3.Zero x1/SATA M.2 slot. The SPC621D8 has help for as much as 13 SATA ports, with six 7-pin headers included from the C621A chipset with help for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays. The SPC621D8-2L2T has help for eight SATA ports, with the identical degree of RAID help. Both fashions embrace two SATA DOM headers and in addition embrace a mini-SAS HD header.
Driving the administration aspect of issues is an ASPEED AST2500 BMC controller. This may be accessed by way of a single D-sub video output or a devoted administration Ethernet port hooked as much as a Realtek RTL8211E Gigabit controller. Both variants embrace numerous headers across the board, with a number of the most notable which embrace a TPM header, COM header, PMBus connector, and an IPMB header. There are 5 6-pin fan headers for cooling, one 24-pin 12 V ATX energy enter that gives energy to the motherboard, and one 8-pin and one 4-pin 12 V ATX CPU energy enter pairing.

Both boards share an identical rear panel structure, however with one main distinction. The ASRock Rack SPC621D8-2L2T consists of twin 10 GbE by way of an Intel X710-AT2 Ethernet controller, which is on prime of the 2 Intel I210 Gigabit controllers and the Realtek RTL8211E administration LAN port which might be frequent to each boards. Both panels embrace a D-sub video output for the BMC, 4 USB 3.2 G1 Type-A ports, and a UID indicator LED button.
We do not have pricing for both the SPC621D8-2L2T or the SPC621D8 ATX motherboards or when they’ll hit retail cabinets on the time of writing.
