SKU CH-F4F7-8JMW3 MPN R263-Z30-AAC1

A 2U barebone server holding twelve 3.5" or 2.5" Gen4 NVMe/SATA/SAS hot-swap bays for a single AMD EPYC 9004 processor with twelve-channel DDR5 memory

  • Single AMD EPYC 9004 processor powers demanding workloads
  • 12-channel DDR5 RDIMM with 12 DIMM slots enables high memory capacity
  • 12 hot-swap bays support 3.5" or 2.5" NVMe, SATA and SAS drives
  • Two FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots plus two OCP NIC 3.0 slots provide flexible expansion
  • Dual ROM architecture adds firmware resilience for uptime

Server barebone for EPYC 9004

The GIGABYTE R263-Z30-AAC1 is a 2U rack-mount barebone that accepts a single AMD EPYC 9004 series processor. Twelve DDR5 RDIMM slots provide 12-channel memory bandwidth. Twelve front hot-swap bays support 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives. Two full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and two OCP NIC 3.0 PCIe Gen5 x16 slots handle add-in cards. A single 1GbE LAN port and an M.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 slot complete the I/O.

Suits dense storage and dual-GPU workloads

This platform suits buyers who need twelve drive bays and two full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 slots in a 2U chassis. It is not for operators who require dual-socket CPU support. It is not for deployments that need more than one 1GbE port on the motherboard. It is not for teams that want integrated baseboard management without adding a separate card.

Sustained load with Platinum power

Dual ROM architecture protects firmware during long update cycles. Platinum-rated power supplies maintain efficiency under continuous 12-bay NVMe and dual GPU throughput. Gen5 PCIe lanes to both expansion slots and OCP modules keep bandwidth stable during extended compute or storage tasks. The 2U airflow path is designed to cool the CPU, memory and drives simultaneously without throttling.

Questions about this item

Which AMD EPYC 9004 series processor do I need to install for this server to operate?

The system requires a single AMD EPYC 9004 series processor; choose a compatible SKU based on your core-count and power-budget needs.

Can I keep using my existing 3.5-inch SATA drives in the twelve hot-swap bays?

Yes, each of the twelve 3.5"/2.5" bays accepts Gen4 NVMe, SATA, or SAS drives, so current SATA disks will work.

How do I verify the Dual ROM Architecture is active after first boot?

Enter the firmware interface and confirm both ROM images are present and selectable; the board will report the active and backup ROM versions.
