2U barebone for eight Gen5 GPUs

This 2U rackmount barebone is built around a single AMD EPYC 9004 series processor in an SP5 socket. It provides twelve DDR5 channels with twelve DIMM slots supporting RDIMM up to 96GB and 3DS RDIMM up to 256GB. Eight dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPU cards can be installed via onboard PCIe switches.

Suits AI training clusters needing dense

Organisations deploying large-language-model training or high-performance compute workloads that require eight Gen5 GPUs in a 2U form factor will fit this platform. Buyers who need dual-socket CPU configurations or more than twelve memory channels should look at alternative server designs.

Verify CPU cooler clearance

No processor or memory is included; select an EPYC 9004 CPU with a cTDP up to 300W and compatible DDR5 modules. Confirm that your rack provides sufficient airflow for eight dual-slot cards and that the power distribution can deliver the combined GPU and CPU draw.

Questions about this item

Which AMD EPYC 9004 series processor must I supply for the SP5 socket?

Any single EPYC 9004 series CPU up to 84 cores and 168 threads with a cTDP up to 300W fits the SP5 socket.

Can the 10 Gigabit Broadcom BCM57416 LAN ports coexist with my existing 1 Gigabit network switches?

Yes, the dual 10GBASE-T ports auto-negotiate down to 1 Gigabit for compatibility with older switches.

How do I verify the eight PCIe Gen5 GPU slots are all active after assembly?

Check the system BIOS or OS device manager for eight PCIe Gen5 x16 links and confirm GPU firmware loads without errors.
