2U rackmount storage barebone
The ASRock Rack 2U24E2S-ROME is a 2U rackmount barebone designed for storage-heavy workloads. It targets system integrators and IT teams building dense NVMe arrays around a single AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor. No CPU or memory is installed, so the buyer supplies both.
Sustained load with 24 NVMe bays
A passive 24-port backplane connects every front 2.5-inch bay directly to the CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes, giving each drive a full x4 link without oversubscription. Two rear 2.5-inch bays add SATA or SAS capacity through an optional HBA or RAID card. The single low-profile PCIe 4.0 x8 slot remains free for that adapter or a NIC.
Redundant power and IPMI access
Dual 1200W redundant power supplies keep the chassis running through a unit failure. The Aspeed AST2500 BMC provides a dedicated IPMI port for out-of-band management. Dual Intel i350 1GbE ports handle data traffic, while front USB 3.2 Gen1 ports allow quick local access. Sixteen 288-pin DDR4 3200 slots support RDIMM, LRDIMM and 3DS modules up to the platform limit.

Questions about this item
How loud is the 1+1 1200W redundant PSU setup when the 2U chassis runs 24 NVMe drives all day?
The 2U24E2S-ROME ships with 1+1 1200W redundant power supplies; fan speed scales with load and inlet temperature, so sustained 24-drive operation will run the fans higher than idle but within server-typical acoustic limits for a 2U rackmount.
Which AMD EPYC processor and DDR4 memory must I supply before the barebone will POST?
You need one Socket SP3 AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series CPU (7003 3D V-Cache parts require a BIOS update) plus DDR4 3200 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules to populate the 16 x 288-pin slots.
Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and use the rear bays while the front handles NVMe?
Yes, the rear provides 2 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives with an optional HBA or RAID adapter, while the front backplane runs 24 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 bays simultaneously.
