Silver 1U rack server front with twelve 2.5-inch drive bays

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE R183-S96-AAV1 barebone server 12-bay Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS-4

SKU CH-MAW9-0CQJ7 MPN R183-S96-AAV1

1U dual-socket barebone holds 12 hot-swap 2.5" Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS-4 bays and 32 DDR5 DIMM slots

  • Dual 5th/4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver high compute density
  • 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots across eight channels provide massive memory bandwidth
  • 12 hot-swap 2.5" bays support Gen5 NVMe, SATA and SAS-4 drives
  • Two FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots plus two OCP NIC 3.0 x16 slots enable flexible I/O expansion
  • Dual ROM architecture adds firmware resilience for mission-critical uptime

Dual Xeon Scalable barebone

The GIGABYTE R183-S96-AAV1 is a 1U rack barebone designed for dual 5th and 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and dual Xeon CPU Max Series chips. It targets data-centre operators and HPC integrators who need dense compute with local high-speed storage in a single rack unit. The platform supports 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots across eight memory channels and includes dual ROM architecture for firmware resilience.

Gen5 NVMe SATA SAS limits

Twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accept Gen5 NVMe, SATA and SAS-4 drives, but total throughput is bounded by the CPU PCIe lane budget and the backplane wiring. Two full-height half-length PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and two OCP NIC 3.0 PCIe Gen5 x16 slots share the same lane pool, so populating every bay and every expansion slot simultaneously can saturate available bandwidth. The dual 1Gb/s LAN ports via Intel I350-AM2 provide baseline management connectivity only.

Pre-order compatibility checks

Verify that your chosen Xeon Scalable or Xeon CPU Max Series SKUs match the socket and TDP envelope supported by this barebone. Confirm DDR5 RDIMM module density and speed grades against the qualified vendor list to fill up to 32 slots. Ensure the rack provides adequate airflow for a 1U form factor and that your power distribution can feed the required connectors. Buyers needing more than twelve front bays or higher base-network bandwidth should evaluate alternative chassis.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-bay version or look for a 16-bay alternative?

This chassis provides exactly 12 hot-swap bays that each accept Gen5 NVMe, SATA or SAS-4 drives, so the choice depends on whether 12 slots meet your storage density target.

What does the dual 5th/4th Gen Xeon Scalable support mean for my workloads?

Two sockets can each run a 5th or 4th Gen Xeon Scalable or Xeon CPU Max Series processor, giving up to 32 DDR5 RDIMM channels across both CPUs for memory-heavy tasks.

How fast can the OCP NIC 3.0 slots actually run in this server?

Each OCP NIC 3.0 slot is wired for PCIe Gen5 x16, so the network adapter you install will be limited by its own spec rather than the slot bandwidth.
