2U Rackmount Barebone for Xeon Scalable
This 2U rackmount barebone accepts Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors in an LGA 4677 socket with Intel C741 chipset. It ships without CPU or memory installed, leaving configuration entirely to the builder. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies rated 80 Plus Platinum provide high-efficiency power delivery for dense deployments.
Suits integrators building custom general-purpose
Organisations that need a chassis ready for dual-socket Xeon Scalable CPUs, up to 32 DDR5 DIMMs and twelve hot-swap drive bays will match this platform. Buyers who require pre-installed processors, memory or storage should look elsewhere, as the unit arrives unpopulated. Environments without 10 GbE networking infrastructure will not use the onboard dual-port controller.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous operation the 1+1 redundant 1600 W Platinum units share load, maintaining efficiency and allowing one module to fail without downtime. The twelve hot-swap bays support NVMe, SAS (with add-in card) or SATA drives for persistent I/O. Nine PCIe Gen5 expansion slots — including OCP 3.0 — accommodate long-running accelerator or networking cards without thermal throttling in a properly cooled rack.

Questions about this item
Which CPUs and memory modules must I supply to complete this barebone server?
You need Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors for the LGA 4677 sockets and DDR5 4800 (1DPC) or 4400 (2DPC) RDIMMs for the 32 x 288-pin slots.
Can I keep my existing SAS drives and 10 GbE network gear when I deploy this system?
Yes, the 12 hot-swap bays accept SAS drives when an HBA or RAID card is added, and the dual 10GbE RJ45 ports connect directly to your current 10 GbE infrastructure.
How do I confirm the redundant power supply and 10 GbE links are operating correctly after assembly?
Check the front-panel LEDs for dual PSU status, verify both 10GbE RJ45 ports show link lights, and review the management LAN port for BMC health alerts.
