2U AI server barebone for EPYC 9004
This 2U rackmount barebone is built for AI, machine learning and high-performance computing workloads. It accepts up to two AMD EPYC 9004 series processors in Socket SP5, each offering up to 32-core and 64 threads with a TDP up to 210W. No CPU or memory comes installed, so integrators choose the exact configuration. The platform targets training, inference and HPC clusters.
Dual 3000W Titanium PSU and twelve-channel DDR5
Redundant dual 3000W 80 PLUS Titanium power supplies (240V) feed the system. Twenty-four 288-pin DIMM slots run across twelve DDR5 channels, supporting RDIMM up to 96GB and 3DS RDIMM up to 256GB per module. Eight dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPU cards mount internally. Networking uses two 10 Gigabit BASE-T ports via Broadcom BCM57416 plus a dedicated management port, with VGA and two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports at the rear.
Eight hot-swap bays split by CPU
Storage uses four 2.5-inch Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS hot-swap bays wired to CPU 1 and four 2.5-inch SATA/SAS hot-swap bays also from CPU 1. No drives are installed. The board requires two EPYC 9004 CPUs and DDR5 RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM modules to populate the 24 slots. Buyers needing single-socket operation, PCIe Gen4 GPUs, or pre-installed drives should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What PCIe generation do the eight dual-slot GPU slots use, and what does that limit in practice?
The eight dual-slot GPU slots run at PCIe Gen5, which sets the maximum link speed each graphics card can negotiate with the CPU.
What physical space and power connectors must the chassis provide for the eight dual-slot Gen5 GPU cards?
The 2U rackmount chassis fits eight dual-slot cards and includes dual 3000W 80 PLUS Titanium redundant power supplies to feed them.
How are the AMD EPYC 9004 processors installed in the Socket SP5 sockets, and what step is often missed?
Install each processor into its SP5 socket, apply thermal interface material, then attach the heatsink; the step often missed is populating all twelve memory channels per CPU with matched DDR5 RDIMMs.
