Asrock EC262D4U Motherboard - Intel C262 - LGA 1700 - Micro ATX

Asrock EC262D4U Motherboard - Intel C262 - LGA 1700 - Micro ATX arrives as a compact, server-grade micro ATX board designed around the Intel C262 chipset and LGA 1700 socket for modern Intel® Xeon® processors.

This motherboard supports DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots with ECC compatibility and a 1.1 V memory profile, making it well suited for memory-critical workloads and reliable server applications.

Storage flexibility is strong with eight SATA III ports and an M.2 slot, and RAID support for levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 gives you multiple options for redundancy and performance tuning for NAS or database systems.

Expansion is handled by one PCIe x16 (Gen 5.x), one PCIe x4 (Gen 4.x) and one PCIe x1 (Gen 4.x) slot, enabling GPU, NVMe adapters or specialized networking cards while keeping the small 244 mm x 244 mm footprint.

Connectivity includes dual RJ-45 Ethernet (one with IPMI), two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, three USB 2.0 connectors, VGA and a COM port, plus onboard TPM and a standard 24-pin ATX power connector with an additional Molex peripheral input.

The board is BIOS-driven by AMI with 256 Mbit ROM, supports ACPI 6.4 and SMBIOS 2.8, and is validated for server OSes and hypervisors including Windows Server 2022, Azure Stack HCI, RHEL 8.5, SLES 15 SP3, Ubuntu 21.04 LTS, VMware ESXi 8.0 u1, Linux KVM and Hyper-V.

Typical use cases include compact rack servers, edge computing nodes, virtualization hosts and storage servers where ECC memory, extensive SATA connectivity and remote management via IPMI are priorities.

Key selling points: LGA 1700 support for Intel® Xeon®, DDR5 ECC memory in 4 DIMMs, 8 SATA III ports with RAID 0/1/5/10, dual LAN with IPMI, and a versatile set of PCIe slots in a micro ATX form factor.
