EC266D4ID-2T/X550 ASRock Mini-ITX Single V (LGA 1700) 4 DIMM Slots Server Mainboard

High-Performance Mini-ITX server motherboard featuring Intel C266 edge compute architecture with the EC266D4ID-2T/X550

The EC266D4ID-2T/X550 is a compact ASRock server motherboard built on the Intel C266 platform for LGA1700 Xeon E-series processors, targeting dense edge nodes and space-constrained appliances where predictable throughput and remote operability are mandatory. It supports DDR5 ECC UDIMM across 4 DIMM slots to harden memory integrity for virtualisation and always-on services while maintaining an efficient single-socket design.

For expansion, the EC266D4ID-2T/X550 provides a full PCIe 5.0 x16 path to accommodate high-bandwidth NICs, accelerators, or storage HBAs without bifurcation compromises. Storage architecture is optimized for mixed SATA capacity and Gen4 NVMe latency: 8x SATA ports with RAID options combine with 3x OCuLink for PCIe 4.0 NVMe connectivity and dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, enabling flexible boot, cache, or tiering configurations. Dual 10GbE via Intel X550 plus an additional 1GbE interface align the platform to network services, storage gateways, and east-west traffic at the edge.

Why Choose the EC266D4ID-2T/X550?

The EC266D4ID-2T/X550 balances server-grade manageability with Mini-ITX density, delivering a strong performance-per-liter profile for remote sites and embedded racks. Dual 10GbE and PCIe 5.0 expansion support scalable I/O growth, while ECC memory and platform RAID features contribute to operational reliability in unattended deployments.

ASRock designs this platform around enterprise serviceability: an ASPEED AST2600 BMC with IPMI enables out-of-band control, console access via VGA, and consistent lifecycle management practices aligned with modern data centre and edge standards. TPM support further integrates into security baseline requirements for controlled environments.

Key Applications:

• Edge/embedded compute nodes with IPMI
• 10GbE firewall and router appliances
• Virtualisation and general compute with ECC
• NAS and storage gateway platforms
• NVMe caching and tiered storage
