The ASRock Rack GNRD8-2L2T is a single-socket CEB server motherboard for Intel Xeon 6700E-series processors, with eight DDR5 RDIMM slots, PCIe 5.0/CXL 2.0 expansion, and IPMI remote management. It suits server builders creating high-capacity compute or infrastructure systems.
Recommended For
- Teams building a single-socket server for many parallel services, containers, or virtual machines, where the selected Xeon 6700E processor’s high core count can be put to work.
- Workstation builders who need multiple PCIe expansion cards—such as GPUs, accelerators, or high-speed storage/networking cards—in a single-socket system; check the chosen processor’s lane support because some slots are processor-dependent.
- Storage or networking system integrators who plan to add PCIe cards and want onboard dual 10GbE plus IPMI remote management for administering a server without relying on local access.
- Professionals running CPU rendering or software compilation who have benchmarked their applications on the intended Xeon and want a server-platform board with workstation expansion options.
