Silver 2U rack server chassis with front drive bays

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE R264-S33-AAL1 barebone server 16 DIMM 4 NVMe SATA SAS bays 8 SATA SAS bays 3 GPU

SKU CH-1N9W-0043A MPN R264-S33-AAL1

A 2U barebone server supporting a single Xeon processor, 16 DDR5 DIMM slots, 4 NVMe/SATA/SAS hot-swap bays, 8 SATA/SAS bays and up to 3 dual-slot GPUs

  • Supports three dual-slot Gen5 GPUs for accelerated workloads
  • Single Intel Xeon 6 processor on LGA 4710 socket
  • Sixteen DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM slots across eight channels
  • Four hot-swap bays accept 3.5 or 2.5 Gen5 NVMe SATA SAS drives
  • Eight hot-swap bays accept 3.5 or 2.5 SATA SAS drives

Rack server for compute-intensive workloads

This 2U barebone platform accepts a single Intel Xeon 6 processor in an LGA 4710 socket and provides sixteen DDR5 DIMM slots for RDIMM or MRDIMM memory. It is aimed at operators who need dense GPU acceleration alongside high memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. The chassis includes dual ROM architecture for firmware resilience.

PCIe Gen5 limits GPU and storage throughput

Three dual-slot GPUs connect through PCIe Gen5 links, while four front bays share Gen5 NVMe, SATA and SAS-4 signalling. The eight additional bays carry SATA and SAS-4 only. A single M.2 slot offers a PCIe Gen5 x2 pathway. Bandwidth is constrained by the processor lane budget and the shared backplane topology.

Verify processor, memory

You must supply a compatible Xeon 6 CPU, DDR5 modules and up to three dual-slot Gen5 graphics cards. Cooling, power distribution and rail depth are not included in the barebone. Confirm that your rack power budget and airflow can support the chosen GPU configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the four NVMe bays or the eight SATA/SAS bays for my storage?

The chassis provides four hot-swap bays that accept Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 drives and eight additional hot-swap bays for SATA or SAS-4 drives, so you can mix high-speed NVMe with larger-capacity SATA/SAS in one system.

What does the single Xeon processor mean for memory bandwidth?

The single Xeon 6 CPU delivers eight DDR5 channels across the 16 DIMM slots, giving full eight-channel bandwidth when all slots are populated.

How does the PCIe Gen5 x2 M.2 slot limit drive speed?

The M.2 slot runs at PCIe Gen5 x2, capping a connected NVMe drive to two lanes of Gen5 bandwidth rather than the four or eight lanes used by the front U.2 bays.
