Silver 2U rack chassis with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and dual EPYC sockets

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE R283-Z96-AAE3 barebone server dual EPYC 9004 24 DIMM 24 bay

SKU CH-DADJ-RVDH2 MPN R283-Z96-AAE3

A 2U barebones server supporting dual EPYC 9004 CPUs, 24 DDR5 DIMM slots, and 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays mixing Gen5 NVMe with SATA/SAS-4

  • Dual AMD EPYC 9004 processors deliver high core density for parallel workloads
  • 24 DDR5 RDIMM slots across 12 memory channels maximise bandwidth and capacity
  • 8 Gen5 NVMe plus 16 SATA/SAS-4 hot-swap bays provide 24 front drive slots
  • 3 full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 slots enable GPU or accelerator expansion
  • Dual ROM architecture adds firmware redundancy for platform reliability

Dual EPYC 9004 barebone

This 2U rackmount barebone accepts two AMD EPYC 9004 series processors with 3D V-Cache technology. It targets data-centre workloads that demand high core counts and memory bandwidth in a dense form factor. Builders who need a single-socket platform or desktop-class components should look elsewhere.

Before ordering

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and adequate airflow for dual high-wattage CPUs. Confirm that your chosen memory modules are DDR5 RDIMM and that you can populate up to 24 slots for 12-channel operation. Ensure the power distribution units can deliver sufficient current for the full configuration.

Bays and expansion

Eight 2.5-inch bays support Gen5 NVMe drives while sixteen additional 2.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS-4 media. Three M.2 slots provide PCIe Gen3 x4 or x2 connectivity for boot or caching devices. Three full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 slots accommodate accelerators or networking cards.

Questions about this item

Does the barebone include the dual EPYC 9004 processors and DDR5 RDIMM modules or must they be purchased separately?

The barebone ships without the dual EPYC 9004 processors and without the DDR5 RDIMM modules; both must be sourced and installed separately.

How do I decide between the eight Gen5 NVMe bays and the sixteen SATA/SAS-4 bays when configuring storage?

Use the eight 2.5-inch Gen5 NVMe bays for the highest throughput drives and the sixteen 2.5-inch SATA/SAS-4 bays for capacity-focused drives; both sets are hot-swappable.

What does the 12-channel DDR5 architecture mean for actual memory bandwidth once the 24 DIMM slots are populated?

Each processor provides 12 memory channels, so populating all 24 DIMM slots enables the full 12-channel bandwidth per CPU for maximum throughput.
