ASRock Rack 1U2LW-X570 Barebone System - 1U Rack-mountable

The ASRock Rack 1U2LW-X570 Barebone System is a compact, enterprise-grade foundation engineered for scalable rack deployments. Built on the AMD X570 platform, this 1U barebone chassis delivers a balance of performance, storage flexibility, and remote-management capability in a compact form factor. Ideal for data centers, small business server rooms, or dedicated virtualization nodes, it combines essential rack-ready features with expandability to fit demanding workloads.

  • 1U rack-mountable design with two 3.5" drive bays provides straightforward storage expansion for data-intensive applications, backups, and media workloads. The system is ready to host reliable storage configurations while maintaining a compact footprint in dense rack environments.
  • AMD X570 chipset-based architecture ensures modern connectivity and PCIe support for high-speed I/O, enabling efficient data throughput and flexible expansion paths. This barebone chassis is built to accommodate contemporary components for robust performance in servers and workstations alike.
  • 32 GB DDR4 SDRAM maximum RAM support across four memory slots at DDR4-3200 speeds (PC4-25600). This capacity and speed are suitable for virtualization, small to mid-size databases, and multi-service workloads, offering responsive multitasking for light to medium-duty enterprise tasks.
  • Two M.2 interfaces offer speedy NVMe or SATA storage options, enabling fast OS, cache, or application drives. Combined with SATA/600 RAID-supported controllers, you gain RAID-ready storage configurations for redundancy and performance optimization in 1U space.
  • ASPEED AST2500-based graphics with 16 MB graphics memory and HDMI output provides out-of-band management and console access. This integrated management capability helps administrators monitor, configure, and troubleshoot the system even when primary graphics or OS fabrics are unavailable.

How to install ASRock Rack 1U2LW-X570 Barebone System

Before you begin, ensure you have a compatible rack, a reliable power source, and the components you plan to install (CPU, RAM, storage, and any expansion cards as needed). This barebone system is designed to be configured with user-supplied components, so plan your hardware stack accordingly once you mount it in a rack.

Step 1: Mounting in the rack. Slide the barebone chassis into a standard 19" rack, align mounting ears, and secure with the appropriate screws. Verify clearance for rear cabling and ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating in 1U form factor deployments.

Step 2: Install memory. The system supports up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM across four slots. Insert each module in the correct orientation, making sure it seats firmly with a click. If using multiple modules, populate channels per the motherboard manual to maximize performance and stability.

Step 3: Add storage. Insert drives into the two 3.5" bays or configure the two M.2 slots with NVMe or SATA drives as your storage strategy requires. Connect SATA power and data cables to any SATA‑based devices and ensure that drives are properly fastened. If RAID is planned, configure the SATA RAID controller settings in the BIOS/UEFI or through your preferred RAID management tool.

Step 4: Connect management and network interfaces. Use the HDMI port for local console output if needed during initial setup or troubleshooting. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the system for management access, remote administration, and network boot capabilities as supported by the platform.

Step 5:Power up and configure. Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup to configure boot order, RAID, memory timings, and any vendor-specific management options. Verify that all installed components are detected, and perform a basic post test to confirm stable operation before installing an operating system or virtualization platform.

Step 6: Install an operating system or hypervisor. Once the hardware is recognized, install your preferred server OS or virtualization stack. The ASRock Rack design supports management workflows that leverage the built-in AST2500 console capabilities, enabling remote or out-of-band administration for ongoing maintenance.

Step 7: Monitor and optimize. After your OS is installed, monitor system temperatures, fan behavior, and drive health to maintain reliability in 1U deployments. Apply firmware updates from ASRock Rack as they become available to ensure compatibility with new hardware and improved stability.

The installation flow emphasizes practical rack deployment, efficient use of M.2 and 3.5" storage, and leveraging the integrated management interface for remote administration. While this barebone system does not include a CPU, memory, or drives by default, its design is focused on providing a robust, scalable base that can be tailored to your specific workloads—whether you’re deploying virtualization, network services, or lightweight databases in a compact 1U footprint.
