GIGABYTE G294-S41-AAP2 barebone server 24 DIMMs 8 NVMe bays 4 GPUs

Dual Xeon 6 barebone for HPC and AI

The GIGABYTE G294-S41-AAP2 is a 2U server barebone built around dual Intel Xeon 6 processors in LGA 4710 sockets. It provides 24 DDR5 DIMM slots across eight memory channels and supports RDIMM or MRDIMM modules. Four full-height full-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots or eight x8 slots accept up to four dual-slot Gen5 GPUs. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays handle Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 drives. Dual 10Gb/s LAN ports come from an Intel X710-AT2 controller.

Suits dense GPU compute.

This platform targets workloads that demand high GPU density and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as AI training, HPC simulation or large-language-model inference. Buyers who need only a single processor, fewer than four GPUs, or a tower form factor should look at alternative configurations. The barebone ships without CPUs, memory, GPUs or storage, so integrators must source those components separately.

Needs CPUs, memory, GPUs, storage and 2U rack space

A complete build requires two Xeon 6 CPUs, up to 24 DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM modules, up to four dual-slot Gen5 GPUs and up to eight 2.5-inch NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 drives. The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and provides four FHFL PCIe Gen5 x16 or eight x8 slots, freeing expansion room for additional networking or storage controllers. Dual ROM architecture aids firmware resilience during deployment and maintenance.
