High-density 2U 4-node server
The GIGABYTE H274-S60-AAW1 is a 2U rackmount barebones system housing four independent dual-processor nodes. Each node supports Intel Xeon 6 processors in LGA 4710 sockets with TDPs up to 225W. It targets AI, ML and HPC workloads requiring maximum compute density in a compact chassis.
Rear-access installation with CPU and memory care
All four nodes and 24 hot-swap drive bays are accessed from the rear, simplifying service in dense racks. No CPUs or memory are installed; each node requires two Xeon 6 processors and up to 16 DDR5 RDIMM or MCR DIMM modules across eight channels. Incorrect DIMM population or missing CPU power cables are the most common setup errors.
Verify rack depth, power and networking first
Confirm your rack accommodates a 2U rear-service chassis with sufficient airflow for four dual-socket nodes. Ensure the PDU can deliver enough current for up to eight 225W processors plus memory and drives. Check that 1GbE via four Intel I350-AM2 ports per system meets management needs and plan for any OCP 3.0 or PCIe Gen5 add-in cards required.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the system is operational after installing CPUs, memory and drives?
The Aspeed AST2600 BMC provides out-of-band management; use its web interface or IPMI to confirm all four nodes report healthy POST, sensor readings and drive presence across the 24 hot-swap bays.
What components are included and which must be purchased separately?
The barebones chassis includes the 2U enclosure, four node boards with LGA 4710 sockets, 64 DDR5 slots, 24 Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS-4 bays, eight LP PCIe Gen5 x16 slots, four OCP NIC 3.0 slots and four Intel I350-AM2 1 Gb/s LAN ports; CPUs, RDIMM or MRDIMM memory and storage drives are not installed.
Which memory speed should I choose between RDIMM at 6400 MT/s and MRDIMM at 8000 MT/s?
Select MRDIMM at 8000 MT/s for maximum throughput on memory-bound AI/ML/HPC workloads; choose RDIMM at 6400 MT/s when capacity per module or cost per gigabyte is the priority.
