The ASRock Rack EPC612D4U is a Micro-ATX server motherboard for Intel Xeon E5-1600/2600 v3 and v4 processors, suited to server builders who need remote management through IPMI 2.0 with KVM and a dedicated management LAN. Xeon v4 processors require BIOS version 2.0 or later.
Recommended For
- Homelab builders running Proxmox or other virtual machines on a Xeon E5 v3/v4 platform; an owner build using this exact board identifies it as a Proxmox VE VM host.
- Self-builders who want server-style remote administration for a headless system or a machine kept away from a desk; the board includes IPMI 2.0 with KVM and a dedicated management LAN.
- NAS or storage-server builders using a compatible Xeon E5 processor who need multiple onboard SATA connections; the board provides eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports.
- Builders reusing or sourcing compatible LGA 2011-3 Xeon E5 v3/v4 components for a compact server; this is a 9.6-inch-square Micro-ATX board with four registered-memory DIMM slots.
