GIGABYTE R282-Z93 barebone server 2U 12-bay 32 DIMM DDR4 3200 dual EPYC 7003

2U 12-Bay Dual EPYC 7003 Barebone

This barebone server fits in a standard 2U rack and accepts up to two AMD EPYC 7003 series processors in Socket SP3. It provides 32 DDR4 3200 DIMM slots across eight memory channels per CPU. Twelve hot-swappable 3.5-inch drive bays connect to twelve onboard SATA or SAS ports. An Aspeed AST2500 handles graphics and management. Three PCIe Gen4 x16 riser cards support up to three double-slot GPU cards. An OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot and an OCP 2.0 mezzanine slot add networking flexibility. No CPU, memory or storage is installed.

Suits GPU compute and dense storage

Organisations running AI training, HPC or virtualisation workloads that benefit from dual-socket EPYC performance and multiple full-height GPU cards will use the three x16 Gen4 slots and twelve front bays. The single M.2 slot runs at PCIe Gen3 x4 and limits CPU TDP to 225 W when populated, so builders who need high-speed boot devices without that thermal constraint should evaluate the impact. Buyers requiring more than twelve front drive bays or additional OCP 3.0 ports beyond the one provided will need a different chassis.

Dual Socket SP3 with 32 DDR4 slots

The platform supports two EPYC 7003 or 7002 series CPUs and populates 32 DIMM slots with DDR4 3200 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules in an eight-channel configuration per processor. This memory capacity and channel count is the specification that determines whether the system can meet a given workload's bandwidth and footprint requirements.
