ASRock Rack 1U2N2G-AM5/2T — 1U Twin-Node Barebone, GPU + 10GbE per Node
Enterprise-grade platform, assembled and tested in the EU.
ASRock Rack 1U2N2G-AM5/2T
Two independent servers, each with its own GPU, in one 1U
Twice the node count per rack unit — and two machines that fail separately.
One 1U chassis, two complete and independent servers. Each node has its own AM5 processor, its own memory, its own dual 10GbE and its own full-height dual-slot PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a GPU. They share only the chassis and a 1+1 1600 W Platinum supply, so a fault on one node does not take the other with it.

Where the twin layout pays, and where it does not
Two nodes per rack unit halves the rack space and the power distribution for a given node count, and gives you genuine hardware separation — two tenants, a live and a standby, a pair of CI runners, or two inference endpoints that must not share a fault domain.
The limits are the 120 W TDP ceiling per node, 192 GB of UDIMM per node, and a single M.2 for local storage. This is a fleet-density machine, not a machine for one big job: it will not train anything of consequence and it is not where a large model should live. Run two modest models, or two small services that each want their own card.
Rack and cooling
Front-to-back airflow, 24/7 rated, and loud in the way all 1U twin chassis are. Budget power for both nodes plus both cards against the 1600 W redundant figure — and remember the supply is shared, so size it for the pair, not for one.
What is included
What is in the box: chassis, backplane, motherboard, the full fan wall and the power supplies listed above, pre-fitted and cabled. It is a complete, working platform less the parts you choose.
What is not: CPU, memory, drives, GPU and any add-in NIC. Those are specified with you and priced separately — that is the point of buying a barebone rather than a finished server.
What Kentino adds
Every barebone we ship is unpacked, assembled, powered up and tested before it leaves Prague: fan wall and PSU redundancy checked, BMC firmware brought up to the current release, IPMI configured and the network details handed over in writing. You get a machine that has already been switched on once by somebody who knows what it should sound like.
Tell us the workload instead of the part numbers and we will specify the CPU, memory and storage for you, build it, burn it in and ship it as a finished server. The same chassis, the same price for the chassis — we simply add the parts and the work.
Price shown is EUR 4,178 excluding VAT for the barebone as described, EXW Prague (Incoterms 2020). Freight, insurance and any destination duties are for the buyer’s account. Typical lead time 10–28 days. Image: ASRock Rack.
The questions buyers ask us most often before ordering a server.
How long does it take?
Machines built from components we hold ship quickly; anything requiring a specific GPU generation depends on supply. We give you a date before you pay, and if it moves we tell you rather than letting you find out.
Can the configuration be changed before you build it?
Almost always. GPUs, memory, storage and cooling are chosen per order, and the listed configuration is a starting point rather than a fixed package. If you need more VRAM, faster storage or a different cooling approach, say so before you order and we will quote the change.
Can I collect the server in person?
You can. Our warehouse is in Prague, and collection in person is welcome — most people who come use the visit to go through the machine with our engineer and ask the questions that are awkward over email. For orders within the Czech Republic we also try to deliver personally and walk you through the setup on site.
Can I talk to someone who actually understands the workload?
Yes. We have an engineer who works on AI systems specifically, not a general sales desk. If your question is about batch sizes, quantisation, interconnect or where your bottleneck will be, ask it — that conversation usually changes the configuration for the better.
Which model can I run on this configuration?
Yes. Every machine is assembled, burn-in tested and benchmarked on real AI workloads before it ships, and it leaves us with an LLM already installed and running. You plug it in, connect it to your network and start work — the only decision left is which project it runs first.
How do you test a server before shipping?
We run it against actual AI workloads rather than synthetic scores: inference throughput, sustained load behaviour and thermals under continuous operation. You get the benchmark results with the machine, so the performance you were promised is the performance you can verify on day one.
Is the server ready to run when it arrives?
Yes. Every machine is assembled, burn-in tested and benchmarked on real AI workloads before it ships, and it leaves us with an LLM already installed and running. You plug it in, connect it to your network and start work — the only decision left is which project it runs first.
Ships from our EU warehouse. Heavy items may require freight arrangement — contact us for a shipping quote and lead time. 2-year limited warranty with advanced RMA support; extended warranty available.
Not exactly what you need?
Tell us your workload and we'll spec this platform around it — GPUs, memory, storage and cooling matched to what you actually run.
