This document describes the ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T motherboard, a reliable and high-performance motherboard designed for quality and endurance. It is a Mini ITX form factor motherboard, measuring 6.7-in x 6.7-in (17.02 cm x 17.02 cm).
Function Description:
The ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T is designed to support AMD Ryzen™ 3rd Generation Series Processors, utilizing the AMD AM4 Socket PGA 1331 with a maximum TDP of 105W. It features the AMD X570 chipset. The motherboard is equipped with four DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting dual-channel memory technology with 2DPC (DIMMs per channel). It accommodates 260-pin DDR4 ECC/SO-DIMM modules with capacities of 32GB, 16GB, 8GB, and 4GB, and frequencies ranging from 1866 MHz to 2933 MHz. It conditionally supports ECC error reporting.
For expansion, it includes one PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot. Storage options are robust, with two OCuLink connectors (OCU1 and OCU2) that each support either 4x SATA or PCIEx4. Additionally, there is one M.2 M-key (NGFF 2280) socket supporting either 1 SATA 6Gb/s or PCIe4.0/3.0 x4.
Networking is a key feature, with two RJ45 10G base-T LAN ports powered by Intel® X550-AT2, supporting 10000/1000/100 Mbps. It also includes one dedicated RJ45 IPMI LAN port by RTL8211E. The LAN ports support Wake-On-LAN, Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, Dual LAN with Teaming function, and PXE, with LAN1 supporting NCSI.
Graphics are handled by an ASPEED AST2500 controller with 16MB DDR4 VRAM, providing a D-Sub VGA port on the rear panel. Rear panel I/O also includes two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports and a UID switch.

Important Notes:
- Misconnection between the ATX4PIN1 and SATAPWR1 connectors can permanently damage the motherboard.
- Installing Intel® LAN utility or Marvell SATA utility may cause Windows® Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) certification tests to fail; installing drivers only will pass these tests.
- The Lithium battery contains Perchlorate, and specific handling regulations apply in California, USA (refer to www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate).
