1U edge server barebone
The GIGABYTE E163-S30-AAG1 is a 1U rackmount barebone designed for edge workloads. It accepts a single 5th or 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor or an Intel Xeon CPU Max Series chip in an LGA 4677 socket with up to 350 W TDP. The Intel C741 chipset provides eight-channel DDR5-5600 support across sixteen 288-pin RDIMM slots. No CPU or memory is installed.
Dual hot-swap bays and Gen5 expansion
Two 2.5-inch front bays accept Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives with hot-swap capability. A single M.2 M-key slot runs at PCIe Gen3 x4 from the PCH and fits 2280 or 22110 cards. Expansion includes two full-height half-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and two OCP 3.0 Gen5 x16 slots. The Aspeed AST2600 handles graphics and management. A single 1 GbE port via Intel I210-AT provides baseline connectivity.
Verify CPU cooler clearance and power budget
Confirm that your chosen LGA 4677 cooler fits the 1U height and aligns with the 350 W TDP limit. Ensure the power supply can deliver enough wattage for the processor, sixteen DDR5 RDIMMs and all installed add-in cards. Check that any OCP 3.0 mezzanine cards match the Gen5 x16 electrical interface. Storage caddies for the 2.5-inch bays are not included and must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item
What CPU socket and generation does this 1U server use?
It uses the LGA 4677 socket for a single 5th or 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor or Intel Xeon CPU Max Series up to 350W TDP.
What drive bays and M.2 slot does the chassis provide?
Two front 2.5-inch hot-swappable bays support Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives; one M-key M.2 slot takes 2280 or 22110 cards at PCIe Gen3 x4 from the PCH.
How are the DDR5 modules installed and what mistake should be avoided?
Populate the 16 x 288-pin slots across the 8 memory channels with registered DDR5 5600 RDIMMs; a common error is leaving channels unbalanced or mixing RDIMM capacities.
