ASRock Rack GNRD8-2L2T/PTY server motherboard

Intel Xeon 6700E-Series Server Board

The ASRock Rack GNRD8-2L2T/PTY is a CEB form-factor server motherboard designed for single-socket Intel Xeon 6700E-series processors. It provides eight DDR5 288-pin memory slots supporting registered DDR5 6400 modules up to 1TB total capacity. The board delivers seven PCIe 5.0 / CXL 2.0 x16 expansion slots and one MCIO x8 connector for high-bandwidth add-in cards. Dual 10GbE and dual 1GbE LAN ports handle network traffic.

Suited For High-Density Compute

This motherboard suits builders deploying single-socket servers that need maximum PCIe 5.0 lane count and CXL 2.0 support for accelerators or memory expansion. The eight-channel DDR5 architecture serves memory-intensive workloads such as virtualisation or in-memory databases. Buyers requiring dual-processor scaling should look at multi-socket platforms. Systems needing onboard Wi-Fi or Bluetooth must add separate controllers.

Single LGA 4710 Socket Constraint

The board accommodates exactly one processor in the LGA 4710 socket, fixing the core count, thread count and thermal envelope to a single Intel Xeon 6700E-series CPU. All seven x16 slots and the MCIO x8 link originate from this single socket, so total platform I/O is bounded by that processor's lane allocation. Verify the chosen CPU provides sufficient lanes for the intended expansion card configuration.
