About the ASRock Rack EPC741D8A-2T2T
The ASRock Rack EPC741D8A-2T2T is an EATX dual-socket server motherboard based on Intel's C741 chipset, supporting 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Ice Lake-SP) in dual LGA4189 (Socket P+) configuration. Ice Lake-SP brought PCIe 4.0 natively to the Intel Xeon platform along with up to 40 cores per socket (80 cores total), significantly improving the platform's competitiveness against AMD EPYC for workloads requiring Intel ecosystem compatibility and ISA extensions like AVX-512.
The board provides 16 DDR4 DIMM slots (8 per CPU) supporting RDIMM, LRDIMM, and Intel Optane DCPMM in speeds up to DDR4-3200. Six-channel memory per CPU and native PCIe 4.0 from each processor's UPI links deliver improved bandwidth compared to Cascade Lake. The expansion layout includes PCIe 4.0 x16 slots distributed across both CPUs plus PCH-connected x4 slots for storage controllers, ensuring balanced workload distribution in NUMA-aware applications.
Dual 10GBase-T onboard via Intel X550 and dedicated ASPEED AST2600 BMC with Redfish API provide enterprise-grade connectivity and out-of-band management. The EPC741D8A-2T2T is the go-to dual-socket Intel platform recommendation for customers requiring Ice Lake-SP's enhanced security features (Intel SGX, TME) or workloads optimized for AVX-512 instruction acceleration.
Ideal for
- Two-socket VMware vSphere hosts with vSAN requiring Intel HCL certification
- Oracle RAC and Microsoft SQL Server enterprise database clusters
- HPC workloads leveraging Intel AVX-512 instruction set acceleration
- Confidential computing workloads requiring Intel SGX enclave support
- SAP HANA TDI certified configurations requiring Ice Lake platform
- AI training with Intel oneAPI and OpenVINO optimized inference
