4U AMD EPYC 9004 GPU barebone

The ASUS ESC8000A-E12-26W10G is a 4U rackmount barebone designed for AI, machine learning and HPC workloads. It accommodates two AMD EPYC 9004 series processors with up to 400W TDP each and supports eight dual-slot GPU cards. The platform targets organisations that need dense GPU compute in a single chassis.

Verify CPU cooler clearance and GPU power cables

No processors, memory or storage are installed, so you must source compatible AMD EPYC 9004 CPUs, DDR5 4800/4400 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM modules and drives. The board provides 24 DIMM slots across twelve channels per socket and one M.2 22110 slot with a PCIe Gen3 x4 link. Ensure your GPU selection fits the eight full-height, full-length PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and that auxiliary power connectors reach the cards.

Dual CPU and GPU airflow tunnels with 2600W

Independent airflow tunnels separate CPU and GPU thermals for optimised cooling under sustained loads. The chassis includes a 2+2 redundant 2600W Platinum power supply arrangement, with support for up to four 3000W Titanium units. Eight hot-swap 3.5 or 2.5-inch bays support Tri-Mode NVMe, SATA and SAS drives for flexible storage configurations.

Questions about this item

Does the barebone include CPUs, memory or drives, or must they be purchased separately?

The chassis ships with no CPU installed, no memory installed and no storage installed; you must add up to two EPYC 9004 processors, up to 24 DDR5 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM modules and up to eight 3.5 or 2.5 hot-swap drives yourself.

Which DDR5 speeds and module types does the 24-slot memory system support?

The 24 DIMM slots accept DDR5 4800 or 4400 RDIMM and 3DS RDIMM modules across 12 channels per socket, scaling to 3 TB per CPU.

What does the eight dual-slot GPU limit mean for PCIe lane allocation when the 11 Gen5 slots are fully populated?

Eight full-length Gen5 x16 slots are wired for dual-slot GPUs; the remaining three Gen5 slots (one x8 front, two rear x16 and x8) serve HBA, RAID or NIC cards without reducing GPU bandwidth.
