Motherboard ASRock GENOA2D24G-2L+ — AMD SoC, Socket SP5, ATX, 24x DDR5 DIMM, up to 12.3 TB, 2x GbE

The Asrock GENOA2D24G-2L+ motherboard is built around an AMD SoC chipset with Socket SP5, designed for server-class systems and AMD EPYC processors. It supports DDR5-SDRAM across 24 DIMM slots for a maximum internal memory capacity of 12,288 GB and provides SATA III interfaces for connecting HDDs and SSDs. Integrated management and VGA functions are handled by the Aspeed AST2600 graphics controller with 512 MB dedicated memory, while network connectivity is supplied by a Gigabit Ethernet controller based on the Intel® I350 design. The board follows the ATX form factor and targets high-density compute and storage applications.

Advantages

The GENOA2D24G-2L+ offers high memory density through 24 DIMM slots and DDR5 support, enabling large in-memory workloads and virtualization. Integrated Aspeed AST2600 firmware and onboard graphics simplify remote management and system setup. Native SATA III interfaces provide straightforward storage connectivity for mixed HDD/SSD configurations. The inclusion of an Intel® I350-based Gigabit Ethernet controller ensures reliable wired networking performance suitable for server environments.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted or tower servers for virtualization and database workloads
• High-memory compute tasks such as in-memory databases and analytics
• Storage servers using SATA III HDDs and SSDs
