GNRD8-2L2T ASRock CEB Single E2 (LGA 4710) 8 DIMM Slots Server Mainboard

High-Performance CEB Server Motherboard for PCIe Gen5 Expansion featuring the GNRD8-2L2T

The GNRD8-2L2T is a CEB server motherboard engineered for single-socket Intel Xeon 6700 series (LGA4710) deployments where PCIe Gen5 lane availability and deterministic I/O matter as much as CPU throughput. It supports a modern DDR5 ECC memory topology with 8 DIMM slots, enabling up to 1TB capacity and up to DDR5-6400 to sustain virtualization density and scale-up CPU compute with predictable latency under mixed workloads.

For expansion, the GNRD8-2L2T delivers 7 PCIe 5.0 x16 physical and electrical slots to consolidate high lane-count accelerators, NICs, and storage controllers without forced bifurcation compromises. Storage and boot are optimized for Gen5 NVMe with 2 PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 (M-Key) sockets plus an MCIO PCIe 5.0/CXL 2.0 x8 interface for backplane connectivity, supporting bandwidth-efficient NVMe fabrics and future I/O composability. Integrated networking combines dual 10GbE with additional 1GbE ports, while an AST2600-based BMC/IPMI stack enables remote lifecycle control and secure operational access.

Why Choose the GNRD8-2L2T?

The GNRD8-2L2T targets enterprise platforms that need a high density-to-performance ratio from a single-socket footprint, pairing Xeon 6700 compute with extensive PCIe Gen5 expansion for scalable I/O growth. It is a practical foundation for standardized server builds where reliability, serviceability, and predictable upgrade paths are required across core, edge, and storage-focused roles.

ASRock designs this platform with an engineering focus on stable power delivery, validated server silicon integration, and alignment with current data centre requirements including IPMI-based management, TPM support, and high-speed Ethernet readiness for controlled, repeatable deployments.

Key Applications:

• General-purpose virtualization hosts
• Scale-up CPU compute nodes
• Gen5 NVMe storage and I/O-heavy servers
• Edge/core infrastructure with remote management
• High-speed Ethernet gateway services
