Motherboard ASROCK TURIND8UD-2T/X550 - AMD SoC, Socket SP5, 8x DIMM, up to 256 GB, 10GbE Intel X550-AT2

ASRock TURIND8UD-2T/X550 is a server-class motherboard built around an AMD SoC and Socket SP5, designed for rack servers and workstation-class deployments. It supports AMD EPYC 9004 series processors and offers eight DDR5 DIMM slots for up to 256 GB of memory (1.1 V). The board integrates an ASPEED AST2600 management GPU and dual 10GbE Intel X550-AT2 network ports, plus PCIe 5.0, CXL2.0 and SATA III storage interfaces to accommodate modern high-bandwidth workloads.

Advantages

The motherboard provides high I/O bandwidth with multiple PCIe 5.0 slots and CXL2.0 capability, enabling advanced expansion and accelerator support. Dual Intel X550-AT2 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports deliver low-latency network connectivity suitable for server environments. Integrated ASPEED AST2600 allows remote management and system monitoring. Flexible storage options include M.2 and up to sixteen SATA III ports, while support for ATX PSU or 12V DC-IN gives deployment flexibility.

Suitable for

• Rack servers and dense compute nodes

How to use

Install a compatible AMD EPYC 9004-series processor into the Socket SP5 and populate DDR5 RDIMM modules across the eight DIMM slots according to the motherboard manual to achieve the desired memory capacity and channel configuration. Connect storage devices to available M.2 and SATA ports and install expansion cards into PCIe 5.0 slots or MCIO connectors as required. Configure network settings for the dual Intel X550-AT2 interfaces and use the ASPEED AST2600 interface for remote management and firmware updates. Ensure proper power delivery by using a compatible ATX power supply or a 12V DC-IN source following the documented power requirements.

Recommendations

For stable operation in server environments, install ECC-capable DDR5 RDIMM modules where supported, follow the motherboard memory population guidelines in the manual, and keep UEFI firmware updated. Use appropriate cooling and verify power supply capacity when populating multiple PCIe devices and high-core-count processors.
