Motherboard ASRock TURIN2D16-2T SP5 for AMD EPYC 9004/9005, EEB, 16x DDR5 RDIMM slots, 10Gb LAN, 16x SATA III

ASRock TURIN2D16-2T is a server motherboard in EEB form factor with Socket SP5 support for AMD EPYC 9004/9005 processors. It provides 16 DDR5 DIMM slots compatible with RDIMM and 3DS RDIMM modules (up to 6400 MHz at 1.1 V), integrated ASPEED AST2600 graphics, dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet via Intel X710-AT2 and IPMI management. Storage and expansion options include 16 SATA III ports, one M.2 slot, two PCIe x16 Gen5 slots and three PCIe x16 Gen4 slots. The board features UEFI AMI BIOS with SMBIOS 3.5, a TPM connector and standard server I/O connectors.

Advantages

The motherboard combines high memory capacity with modern DDR5 support and multiple high-speed PCIe slots for compute and storage expansion. Dual 10Gb Ethernet and IPMI provide robust remote management and network throughput for server environments. A wide set of internal and rear I/O connectors including numerous SATA III ports and onboard graphics enable flexible storage and maintenance options.

How to use

Install the ASRock TURIN2D16-2T in a compatible EEB chassis and secure it to the standoffs. Fit a supported SP5 AMD EPYC processor and apply the appropriate cooling solution. Populate DDR5 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM modules across the DIMM slots following the motherboard’s memory population guidelines. Connect power via the 24‑pin ATX and required 12V connectors, attach storage devices to the SATA III ports or the M.2 slot, and connect network cables to the rear 10Gb RJ‑45 ports. Configure firmware settings through the UEFI AMI BIOS and enable IPMI for remote management if required.

Usage recommendations

To ensure reliable operation in server environments, use certified RDIMM/3DS RDIMM modules, maintain airflow in the chassis to keep ambient temperature within 10–35 °C, and avoid direct contact with exposed electronic components to prevent electrostatic damage and health hazards.
