Silver 2U rack server chassis with 24 front drive bays

GIGABYTE R283-S92-AAE2 barebone server 2U 24-bay 16 NVMe 32 DDR5

SKU CH-7XG5-QG1GA MPN R283-S92- AAE2

A 2U barebone server that holds 24 drives with 16 NVMe bays and supports 32 DDR5 modules for dual Xeon processors

  • Dual Xeon Scalable CPUs for high compute density
  • 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots enable massive memory capacity
  • 16 NVMe bays deliver ultra-fast all-flash storage
  • 24 total hot-swap bays support mixed drive configurations
  • Dual 1 GbE LAN ports provide redundant network connectivity

Server barebones for dual Xeon scalable processors

This 2U barebones server supports dual 5th/4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and dual Xeon CPU Max Series. It provides 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots across eight memory channels. The chassis integrates 24 hot-swap bays plus four additional bays with mixed NVMe, SATA and SAS support.

Suited for dense storage and compute workloads

Organisations building all-flash arrays, software-defined storage clusters or virtualisation hosts will benefit from the 16 Gen4 NVMe bays and twelve SATA/SAS bays. Buyers requiring more than 24 drive bays or on-board networking beyond 1GbE should evaluate alternative platforms.

16 Gen4 NVMe hot-swap bays determine storage density

Sixteen bays are wired for Gen4 NVMe, with four more bays sharing NVMe, SATA and SAS and eight bays limited to SATA/SAS. This NVMe count is the primary factor when sizing high-performance storage tiers.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R283-S92-AAE2 get when both Xeon CPUs and 24 drives run continuously?

The 2U chassis uses multiple system fans to move air across the dual Xeon sockets and the 24 hot-swap bays; sustained load will raise fan speed and exhaust temperature, so plan for rack airflow that matches a dual-socket server density.

Which components must I supply before the R283-S92-AAE2 will boot?

You need two compatible Xeon Scalable processors, DDR5 RDIMMs to fill the 32 DIMM slots, and storage drives for the 16 NVMe and 8 SATA/SAS bays; the barebone includes the board, chassis, power supplies and backplanes only.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and SAS HDDs work in the 8 SATA/SAS bays alongside the 16 NVMe bays?

Yes, the eight 2.5-inch bays accept both SATA and SAS drives, so older SATA SSDs or SAS HDDs can share the chassis with the 16 Gen4 NVMe bays without adapters.
