ASRock EP2C612D16SM-2T Socket LGA2011 R3 C612 SSI EEB Motherboard

Product Description

The ASRock EP2C612D16SM-2T is a high-performance server motherboard engineered to support dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 series processors. This dual-socket configuration allows for significant processing power, making it suitable for demanding enterprise workloads, virtualization, high-performance computing, and complex data analysis. The motherboard adheres to the SSI EEB form factor, a standard size for server motherboards that ensures compatibility with a wide range of server chassis and provides ample space for its extensive component layout and expansion capabilities. Memory support is a key strength of the EP2C612D16SM-2T, featuring 16 DDR4 DIMM slots. It can accommodate up to 1TB of Registered DIMM (RDIMM) or Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory with ECC (Error-Correcting Code) functionality. This massive memory capacity, combined with the error correction capabilities, is critical for applications that require large datasets to be held in memory, such as in-memory databases, scientific simulations, and large-scale virtualization environments, while also ensuring data integrity and system stability. Beyond processing and memory, the ASRock EP2C612D16SM-2T offers robust connectivity and expansion options. It includes multiple PCIe 3.0 slots, providing high-bandwidth interfaces for graphics cards, network adapters, storage controllers, and other peripheral devices. Integrated management features, often including a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), enable remote monitoring and control of the server, which is essential for efficient data center operations. Support for modern storage interfaces like SATA 3.0 and NVMe further enhances its performance and flexibility for storage-intensive applications.
