2U Dual-Socket Server for Intel Xeon 6

The GIGABYTE R284-S90-AAJ1 is a 2U rackmount barebone system built for general-purpose workloads. It supports dual Intel Xeon 6 processors on LGA 4710 sockets with TDPs up to 350W each. No CPU or memory is installed, letting integrators choose exact components.

Suits builders needing dense storage

This chassis fits deployments that demand front hot-swap bays for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives plus rear 2.5-inch bays. It is not for operators who require 10 Gigabit or faster onboard networking, nor for sites limited to single-processor configurations or lower memory capacity.

32 DDR5 slots with eight-channel architecture

Memory scales across 32 x 288-pin DIMM slots running eight channels per processor. Supported speeds reach 6400 MT/s for RDIMM at 1DPC, 5200 MT/s at 2DPC, and 8000 MT/s for MRDIMM. This density decides whether the platform meets your memory-bandwidth target.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the dual Xeon 6 processors generate when running at full load all day?

Each processor can reach a TDP of 350W, so the pair may produce up to 700W of heat under sustained workloads.

Which components must I supply before the server can boot?

You need to install up to two LGA 4710 Xeon 6 CPUs and registered DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM modules across the 32 DIMM slots; no drives are included.

Can I keep using my existing 3.5-inch SAS drives in the front bays?

Yes, the 12 front hot-swap bays accept 3.5-inch SAS-4, SATA or Gen5 NVMe drives, so current SAS media will work.
