2U GPU Server Barebone for Dual Xeon
The GIGABYTE G292-280 is a 2U rackmount barebone designed for dual 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors on LGA 4189 sockets. It targets workloads that need up to eight dual-slot GPU cards alongside 24 DDR4 3200 memory channels. No CPU, memory or storage is installed.
Install CPUs, Memory and GPUs in a 2U Chassis
Installing two processors and 24 DIMMs demands careful alignment in the dense 2U layout; the 288-pin slots are keyed for DDR4 3200 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules only. Eight full-length PCIe Gen4 GPU slots require matching dual-slot cards and adequate airflow, while the two half-length low-profile slots suit add-on controllers. A SAS controller card must be added before SAS drives will function.
Verify Rack Depth, Power and Cooling Before Order
Confirm the rack provides enough depth for a 2U unit with eight double-slot GPUs and eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays split between SATA/SAS-only and SATA/SAS/Gen4 NVMe trays. Dual 10GbE BASE-T ports use the Intel X710-AT2 controller. The Aspeed AST2600 provides VGA and remote management. Ensure the power infrastructure can support the chosen CPU and GPU combination.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the G292-280 is working after installing CPUs and memory?
After powering on, check the Aspeed AST2600 remote management interface for POST codes, confirm 24 DDR4 3200 modules are detected, and verify both 10GbE ports show link status.
What ships with the barebone and which parts must I source separately?
The 2U chassis includes the C621A motherboard, 8 GPU PCIe Gen4 slots, 2 add-in card slots, 8 hot-swap 2.5" trays (4 NVMe-ready), dual 10GbE LAN and AST2600 graphics. You must buy two LGA 4189 Xeon CPUs, DDR4 3200 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs, storage drives, GPU cards and a SAS controller if using SAS drives.
Which memory capacity should I choose for the 24 DDR4 slots?
Populate all 24 slots with DDR4 3200 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs to reach the 256GB maximum; mixing capacities is possible but full population ensures 8-channel performance per processor.
