Description
The ASRock Industrial IMB-X1904 is a high-performance Extended ATX motherboard engineered for demanding workstation, industrial, and edge computing applications. Built on the Intel W890 chipset, it supports Intel Xeon 600 series processors, delivering robust computing power for AI workloads, industrial automation, and high-performance computing platforms. Designed for maximum memory capacity and stability, the IMB-X1904 features eight DDR5 ECC RDIMM/RDIMM-3DS slots supporting up to 2TB of memory at 5200 MHz. This ensures reliable performance and error-corrected operation, ideal for mission-critical applications, machine vision, and data-intensive industrial systems.
Expansion capabilities are extensive, with six PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and one PCIe Gen5 x8 slot for multiple GPUs, accelerators, or high-speed network adapters. Additional M.2, U.2, and MCIO slots provide flexible storage and peripheral options to support advanced industrial and workstation configurations. Connectivity is versatile, including dual Intel 1 GbE LAN for stable network performance, multiple USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports, VGA output for display needs, and eight SATA3 ports for storage expansion. Two COM ports facilitate integration with industrial equipment and legacy devices.
The motherboard also features enterprise-grade functionality such as onboard TPM 2.0 for hardware security, optional OOB (Out-of-Band) management, Intel vPro support, and RAID 0/1/5/10 capabilities for reliable and secure storage configurations. With robust ATX power delivery (8+8+24 pin), the ASRock Industrial IMB-X1904 is a versatile, reliable platform for high-end workstations, AI computing systems, industrial automation, and edge computing solutions.
