Intel Xeon 6 barebones for dense compute
This 1U rackmount server barebones houses a single Intel Xeon 6 processor in an LGA 4710 socket with a thermal design power up to 350 W. Sixteen DDR5 DIMM slots run across eight channels supporting RDIMM at 6400 MT/s or MRDIMM at 8000 MT/s. Four hot-swap bays accept 3.5 or 2.5 inch Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives and one M.2 slot adds PCIe Gen5 x2 storage.
Tool-less rail install with CPU and memory care
The chassis slides into a standard 1U rack space using tool-less rails, but the platform ships without a processor or memory installed. Installers must source a compatible Xeon 6 CPU and populate DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM modules in the correct channel order to reach rated speeds. The 350 W TDP ceiling demands a heatsink rated for that envelope and careful airflow planning in a 1U height.
Verify rack depth, power and cooling first
Confirm the rack cabinet provides enough depth for the 1U node plus cable management at the rear. The power distribution unit must deliver sufficient current for a 350 W processor plus drives and add-in cards. Two FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and two OCP NIC 3.0 Gen5 x16 slots require full-length card clearance. A single 1 GbE LAN port via Intel I210-AT handles basic management traffic.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the server is working after installing an Intel Xeon 6 CPU and DDR5 memory?
Power on and watch the POST screen for CPU detection, memory training at up to 6400 MT/s for RDIMM or 8000 MT/s for MRDIMM, and the Intel I210-AT LAN link light.
What components are included and which must be purchased separately?
The barebone includes the 1U chassis, motherboard with LGA 4710 socket, 16 DIMM slots, 4 hot-swap bays, two FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots, two OCP NIC 3.0 slots, and dual M.2 slots. CPU, memory, and storage are not installed.
Which memory speed should I choose for the 16 DIMM slots?
For 1 DIMM per channel populate RDIMM at 6400 MT/s; for 2 DIMMs per channel use 5200 MT/s. MRDIMM reaches 8000 MT/s when supported by the Xeon 6 SKU.
