GIGABYTE R283-Z96-AAE2 barebone server 24 DIMM

Dual EPYC 9004 barebones server

This 2U rack-mount barebones system accepts two AMD EPYC 9004 series processors with 3D V-Cache technology. It targets datacentre workloads that demand high core counts and memory bandwidth in a compact chassis. Builders supply their own CPUs, memory and storage to match specific performance targets.

24 DDR5 slots and 28 drive bays

The board provides twelve memory channels across twenty-four DDR5 RDIMM slots for large-capacity configurations. Twenty-four front-access 2.5-inch bays support NVMe, SATA and SAS-4 drives, while four rear 2.5-inch bays add SATA or SAS-4 capacity. An onboard 24 Gb/s SAS-4 expander manages the backplane without an extra HBA. Four PCIe Gen5 slots accommodate accelerators or networking cards. Dual 1 Gb/s LAN ports handle baseline management traffic.

Dual ROM and hot-swap convenience

Dual ROM architecture adds firmware redundancy for platform reliability. All twenty-eight drive bays are hot-swappable, allowing drive replacement without system downtime. The barebones format leaves operating system, hypervisor and management software choices entirely to the integrator.
