Silver 1U rack server chassis with four front drive bays

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE R163-S30-AAB1 barebone server 1U 4-bay NVMe SATA SAS 16 DIMMs

SKU CH-082R-YMXAH MPN R163-S30-AAB1

A 1U barebone server with four hot-swappable NVMe, SATA and SAS bays, sixteen DDR5 DIMM slots and two full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 expansion slots

  • Single-socket Xeon Scalable support for 5th and 4th Gen processors
  • 16 DDR5 RDIMM slots deliver eight-channel memory bandwidth
  • Four hot-swap bays accept 3.5 and 2.5 inch Gen4 NVMe SATA SAS drives
  • Dual FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots provide high-speed expansion
  • Dedicated 1 GbE LAN via Intel I210-AT controller

1U server barebone for single-socket Xeon workloads

The GIGABYTE R163-S30-AAB1 is a 1U rackmount barebone built around a single 5th/4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor or Xeon CPU Max Series. It targets compute-dense deployments that need local NVMe, SATA or SAS storage and up to sixteen DDR5 RDIMM slots. The platform suits virtualization hosts, storage nodes and HPC front-ends where density and I/O flexibility matter.

Sustained load handling through dual ROM

Dual ROM architecture provides firmware redundancy for continuous operation during updates or recovery. Two full-height half-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots allow high-bandwidth accelerators or networking cards to run at full speed without throttling. A single 1 Gb/s LAN port via Intel I210-AT handles baseline management traffic while the PCIe slots carry the heavy data-plane load.

Sixteen DDR5 RDIMM channels define maximum memory

Eight-channel DDR5 with sixteen DIMM slots sets the hard limit on memory footprint and bandwidth for this chassis. Workloads that exceed this capacity must move to a dual-socket or larger form-factor platform. The four hot-swappable 3.5/2.5-inch bays supporting Gen4 NVMe, SATA and SAS complete the local storage ceiling.

Questions about this item

How much power does the single Xeon processor draw when the R163-S30-AAB1 runs continuously?

The barebone supports a single 5th or 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor or Xeon CPU Max Series; actual power draw depends on the specific CPU installed.

Which components must I supply to make this barebone operational?

You must provide a compatible Xeon processor, DDR5 RDIMM modules for up to 16 slots, storage drives for the four 3.5 or 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, and an M.2 module if desired.

Will my existing SATA and SAS drives work in the four front bays?

Yes, each bay accepts Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives, so older SATA and SAS drives are compatible with the hot-swap carriers.
