New motherboard for the server branch of ASRock with the X570D4I-NL, a motherboard in mini-ITX format. Its particularity? To embark four memory slots in DDR4.
X570D4I-NL: four DDR4 memory slots for an ITX card!
With this card, ASRock Rack offers us a model in ITX format with an AM4 socket and an AMD X570 chipset. The card is therefore designed to accommodate AMD Ryzen 5000, 4000, 3000 and 3000 processors, all with or without IGP. The same goes for their “Pro” versions.
However, we will not miss the four DDR4 memory slots in SO-DIMM format. Roughly speaking, laptop memory. Moreover, this means a maximum capacity of 32 GB of memory, all at a maximum frequency of 2933 MT/s.
Otherwise, this model has a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, but this constraint is imposed by the format. For storage, there is a 2280 M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA interface. Otherwise, two OCuLink are included, especially since they can provide up to four SATA or two PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces.
We quickly end by mentioning the presence of a very refined rear connectivity. We will have the right to two USB Type A (3.2 Gen2), a status diode, an RJ45 dedicated to IPMI functions and a VGA output. Note that this VGA port is driven by a graphics chip ASPEED AST2500.
Here is the ASRock Rack datasheet !
