GIGABYTE G494-ZB4-AAP2 barebone server AMD EPYC 9005 9004 8 GPU 12 48 2.5 200 350

Optimized for NVIDIA OVX workloads

This 4U barebone server is built around dual AMD EPYC 9005 and 9004 series processors. It supports eight NVIDIA H200 NVL PCIe GPUs connected by four-way NVLink bridges. The platform targets high-performance computing and artificial intelligence clusters that require dense GPU acceleration.

Twelve-channel DDR5 with 48 DIMM slots

Memory capacity scales across 48 RDIMM slots in a 12-channel arrangement per processor pair. Storage density comes from twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accepting Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 drives. Two M.2 slots with PCIe Gen3 x4 interfaces add boot or caching flexibility. Dual 1GbE LAN ports via Intel I350-AM2 handle management and data traffic.

Dual ROM architecture aids firmware resilience

The board includes dual ROM architecture to support secure and recoverable firmware updates during sustained operation. Eight full-size GPUs draw continuous power and generate significant heat, demanding robust cabinet airflow and power distribution. Builds requiring more than twelve front drive bays or higher single-port network throughput will need a different chassis.
