Motherboard ASROCK GENOAD24QM32-2L2T/BCM EEB Socket SP5, server/workstation board, dual 10GbE

ASROCK GENOAD24QM32-2L2T/BCM is an EEB form-factor server/workstation motherboard built for SP5 socket platforms. It provides dual 10GbE networking based on Broadcom technology, multiple expansion options and enterprise-oriented I/O to support high-density compute, virtualization hosts and storage nodes. The board is designed to integrate SP5 processors and delivers the connectivity and slot configuration expected in rackmount servers and advanced workstations.

Advantages

This ASROCK board offers dual 10GbE ports for high-throughput network connectivity and low-latency data transfer. The EEB form factor and reinforced I/O layout allow installation in standard server chassis while providing additional expansion slots for GPUs, NVMe controllers or HBA cards. Built to support SP5 processors, the design focuses on reliability, thermal accommodation and enterprise features suitable for continuous operation in data center environments.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• Storage nodes and software-defined storage clusters
• High-performance compute and engineering workstations
• Network appliances and edge servers requiring 10GbE connectivity

Key specifications

• Form factor: EEB (Extended ATX for server chassis)
• CPU socket: SP5-compatible socket for enterprise processors
• Networking: dual 10GbE ports (2.5/10GbE operation via Broadcom network controllers)
• Expansion: multiple PCIe expansion slots for GPUs, NVMe adapters or HBAs
• I/O: enterprise-focused rear I/O layout with server-grade connectors and management interfaces
• Cooling support: designed for active cooling solutions and optimized airflow in rackmount chassis

How to use

Install the motherboard into a compatible EEB server or workstation chassis, fit an SP5-series processor following the CPU installation procedure, populate memory modules according to the motherboard memory population rules and secure appropriate CPU cooling. Connect storage and expansion cards to the PCIe slots as required, and attach power supplies that meet the board and component power requirements. Configure BIOS/firmware settings to enable desired features such as networking modes, I/O mapping and boot order before installing the operating system and virtualization or storage software.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in production environments, use server-grade power supplies, ECC memory where supported, and tested cooling solutions. Keep firmware and network controller drivers up to date to ensure optimal 10GbE performance and compatibility with virtualization or storage platforms.
