| Exact model / era | ASRock Rack ROMED8U-2T — Single-socket SP3 server board for AMD EPYC 7002/7003 with seven PCIe 4.0 slots and dual 10GbE. (2020) |
| CPU and socket / SoC | One Socket SP3 AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor; 7003 availability is dependent on PCB revision and BIOS per ASRock Rack support data. |
| Chipset / platform | AMD EPYC SP3 SoC platform. |
| Memory and ECC | Eight DDR4 ECC Registered DIMM slots, eight-channel; RDIMM/LRDIMM support and capacity/speed are processor- and population-dependent. |
| PCIe and form factor | Micro-ATX (9.6 × 9.6 in); three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, plus two SlimSAS connectors with PCIe 4.0 x8 connectivity each. |
| Storage | One M.2 2280 socket supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA 6 Gb/s, eleven SATA 6 Gb/s ports and two SlimSAS connectors (PCIe 4.0 x8 each), with cabling/backplane determining storage attachment. |
| BMC and networking | ASPEED AST2500 BMC with IPMI management and dedicated LAN; dual 10GbE data LAN. |
Compatibility and revision notes
Match EPYC 7002/7003 generation to exact ROMED8U-2T PCB revision and minimum BIOS. Eight-channel ECC registered DIMMs must follow population guidance; do not confuse this U-suffix board with similarly named ROMED8 boards. Confirm EEB chassis, slot-sharing and power/cooling requirements.
Socket type, connector shape, chipset branding and CPU family alone do not establish compatibility. Confirm the exact CPU support list, minimum BIOS, ECC/DIMM type and population, shared PCIe/storage lanes, power inputs and dimensions in the linked model-specific vendor documentation.
Preservation and repair
Record the board revision, serial label, BIOS and BMC versions, MAC addresses, attached risers/cables and test conditions before servicing. Use the vendor's socket procedure, ESD-safe handling and correct chassis airflow; do not cross-flash firmware from a related SKU.
Photograph PCB labels, connector condition and accessories before cleaning. Keep BMC access credentials in secure inventory, and never power the board with loose conductive hardware beneath it.
