2U 4-node barebone server, silver rackmount chassis with front drive bays

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE H263-S64-IAW1 2U 4-node barebone server 16 DIMMs 8×2.5" NVMe/SATA/SAS

SKU CH-BR0Q-BG4X0 MPN H263-S64- IAW1

A 2U chassis holding four server nodes, each with dual Xeon processors, sixteen DDR5 DIMM slots and eight 2.5-inch NVMe, SATA or SAS hot-swap bays

  • Immersion-ready density packs four compute nodes into 2U
  • Dual Xeon Scalable CPUs per node deliver high core counts
  • Sixteen DDR5 RDIMM slots per node support large memory capacity
  • Eight hot-swap 2.5″ bays handle NVMe SATA SAS drives
  • Dual ROM architecture adds firmware redundancy per node

2U 4-node immersion barebone

The GIGABYTE H263-S64-IAW1 is a 2U immersion-cooled barebone that holds four independent server nodes in a single rack unit. Each node accepts dual Xeon Scalable processors and supports the Xeon CPU Max Series for workloads that need integrated high-bandwidth memory. It is aimed at density-focused deployments where liquid immersion replaces conventional air cooling.

16 DDR5 RDIMM slots per node

Every node provides 16 DDR5 RDIMM slots across eight memory channels, giving a total of 64 DIMM positions across the chassis. This capacity ceiling is the specification that determines whether the platform can hold the working set for large-scale virtualization, in-memory databases or HPC jobs without spilling to slower storage tiers.

8 hot-swap bays for NVMe SATA SAS

The front panel presents 8 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays that accept Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives, letting each node mix flash and capacity tiers as the workload demands. A single CMC port handles chassis-level management, while dual ROM architecture provides firmware redundancy. Builders must supply processors, memory, drives and immersion-compatible coolant infrastructure to complete the system.
