GIGABYTE G294-S43-AAP2 barebone server 16 GPU 24 DIMM 8 NVMe

SKU CH-3T69-2BSRD MPN G294-S43-AAP2

A 2U barebone server supporting dual Xeon processors, 24 DDR5 DIMMs, 16 full-height PCIe Gen5 GPU slots and eight 2.5-inch NVMe, SATA or SAS hot-swap bays

  • Supports 16 single-slot Gen5 GPUs for massive parallel compute
  • Dual Xeon 6 processors on LGA 4710 deliver high core density
  • 24 DDR5 DIMM slots across 8 channels maximise memory bandwidth
  • 8 hot-swap 2.5" bays accept NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 drives
  • Dual 10 GbE LAN via Intel X710-AT2 ensures fast networking

Dual Xeon 6 GPU server

The GIGABYTE G294-S43-AAP2 is a 2U barebone server built for high-performance computing and AI workloads. It accommodates dual Intel Xeon 6 processors in LGA 4710 sockets. The chassis provides 16 full-height full-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots for single-slot Gen5 GPUs. Two additional low-profile PCIe Gen5 x16 slots are also available.

Replaces multi-node GPU clusters

This platform consolidates workloads that previously required several 1U or 2U nodes each holding fewer accelerators. The jump is worthwhile when a single 2U enclosure must deliver 16 GPU slots, 24 DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM channels and 8 hot-swap NVMe bays. Buyers who need fewer than 16 GPUs or less memory capacity will find the density excessive.

Fits dense HPC racks

The server uses PCIe switches to fan out CPU lanes to all 16 GPU slots and 8 Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 bays. Dual 10Gb/s LAN ports via Intel X710-AT2 handle fabric traffic. Builders must supply CPUs, memory modules, GPUs, storage drives and an operating system. The barebone design frees up procurement choices for those components.
