Dual Xeon 6 AI barebone for rack deployment

The GIGABYTE G494-SB0-AAP1 is a 4U server barebone built for AI, machine learning and high-performance computing workloads. It accepts two Intel Xeon 6 processors in LGA 4710 sockets with TDPs up to 350 W each. No CPU or memory is installed, so integrators choose the exact 6500- or 6700-series models required.

PCIe Gen5 GPU and storage limits

Eight full-height full-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots support up to eight dual-slot GPUs for dense acceleration. Twelve additional hot-swap bays accept 3.5" or 2.5" drives: eight bays run Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 with four lanes from each CPU, while four bays support SATA and SAS-4 only. A single front-access FHHL PCIe Gen5 x8 slot provides extra I/O expansion.

Verify power, cooling and memory before ordering

Dual 350 W processors and eight double-slot GPUs demand substantial power delivery and airflow that the rack infrastructure must supply. Memory must be DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM in all 32 slots to reach 8-channel performance; RDIMM speeds are 6400 MT/s at 1DPC and 5200 MT/s at 2DPC, while MRDIMM reaches 8000 MT/s. Confirm the platform firmware supports the chosen Xeon 6 stepping.

Questions about this item

Should I pick RDIMM at 6400 MT/s or MRDIMM at 8000 MT/s for the 32 DDR5 slots?

Use RDIMM at 6400 MT/s when populating one DIMM per channel; MRDIMM reaches 8000 MT/s but check your CPU SKU and workload for compatibility.

What does the 350 W TDP per Xeon 6 processor mean for cooling in this 4U chassis?

Each socket can draw up to 350 W, so the 4U design must handle 700 W combined CPU heat plus eight Gen5 GPUs — plan for high-airflow fans or liquid cooling.

How many PCIe 5.0 lanes are actually usable for the eight GPU slots and NVMe bays?

Each Xeon 6 offers up to 136 lanes; the eight x16 GPU slots and eight NVMe bays (four per CPU) share that pool, so lane allocation depends on the exact CPU model chosen.
