GIGABYTE G294-Z21-AAP2 barebone server AMD EPYC 9005/9004 2U 4 GPU

2U AMD EPYC 9005/9004 GPU server barebones

The GIGABYTE G294-Z21-AAP2 is a 2U single-socket barebones platform built for AMD EPYC 9005 and 9004 series processors. It targets high-performance computing and AI workloads that demand dense GPU acceleration. The chassis supports up to four dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPUs including NVIDIA H200 NVL cards. Memory scales across twelve DDR5 RDIMM slots in a twelve-channel configuration.

Suits GPU-dense HPC and AI clusters.

This server suits builders who need maximum GPU compute density in a 2U form factor with a single EPYC processor. The twelve-channel memory architecture feeds data-hungry accelerators efficiently. Buyers who require dual-socket scaling or more than four GPU slots should look at alternative platforms. The fixed 2U height also limits deployment in shorter racks.

Four dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPU capacity

The defining specification is support for four dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPUs such as the NVIDIA H200 NVL. This GPU capacity drives the power, cooling and PCIe lane requirements of the entire system. Storage includes four 2.5-inch Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS-4 hot-swap bays plus four additional 2.5-inch SATA/SAS-4 hot-swap bays. Dual 10Gb/s LAN ports use the Broadcom BCM57416 controller.
