Server barebone for single-socket Xeon workloads

This 4U barebone accepts one LGA 3647 Intel Xeon Scalable processor up to 205 W TDP and ships with a 1200 W 80PLUS Platinum power supply. It targets integrators building storage-heavy workstations or departmental servers. Buyers who need dual-socket scaling or GPU-dense compute should look elsewhere.

12 DDR4 ECC slots support up to 1536 GB via 3DS

The board provides twelve DDR4 slots for ECC RDIMM, RDIMM 3DS, LRDIMM or LRDIMM 3DS modules running at up to 2933 MHz. Maximum registered capacity is 1536 GB when 3DS modules are used. Systems requiring higher memory density per slot or non-ECC memory cannot use this platform.

Eight hot-swap 3.5-inch bays

Eight SAS3/SAS2/SATA3 hot-swap bays feed the C621 chipset while a dedicated 10 GbE port (AQC107) supplements dual GbE links. The single 1200 W Platinum supply maintains efficiency across sustained storage and network loads without throttling. Builds needing redundant power supplies or additional PCIe bandwidth beyond the seven slots must plan externally.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the 12 DIMM slots actually hold in a working build?

The board supports up to 1536GB using RDIMM 3DS modules at 2933 MHz, with 12 slots for DDR4 ECC RDIMM, RDIMM3DS, LRDIMM or LRDIMM 3DS.

What does the 10 GbE port connect through and what speed does it cap at?

The 10 GbE RJ45 port runs via the AQC107 controller, giving a single 10 GbE link alongside two GbE ports from Intel i210AT and AST2500.

Will a full-height PCIe card fit in the 4U chassis with the 1200W supply installed?

The 4U form factor at 17.80" x 7.00" x 25.50" accommodates full-height cards across the seven PCIe 3.0 slots while the 1200W 80PLUS Platinum PSU sits in the redundant bay.
