2U 42-Bay Barebone Server
The GIGABYTE R262-ZA0 is a 2U rackmount barebone designed for general-purpose server workloads. It targets system integrators and IT teams building dense storage or compute nodes around a single AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor. No CPU or memory is installed, so the buyer selects the exact configuration required. The chassis provides forty-two hot-swap 2.5-inch bays across front, rear and internal zones.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Eight-channel DDR4 3200 memory architecture feeds the processor with high bandwidth for extended data-intensive tasks. Two rear 2.5-inch Gen4 U.2 bays connect directly to the CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes, maintaining throughput for fast NVMe storage under continuous demand. Dual Intel I350-AM2 1 Gigabit LAN ports and a dedicated management port keep network and out-of-band paths available during heavy utilisation. The Aspeed AST2500 handles graphics and remote management independently of the main CPU.
Single Deciding Specification
The server supports one Socket SP3 processor from the AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 families and sixteen 288-pin DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM slots. This combination fixes the maximum core count, memory capacity and PCIe lane budget for the entire build. Buyers needing dual-processor scaling or a different socket must choose another platform.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power should I expect from the AMD EPYC 7003 series processor when this 2U chassis runs continuously?
The barebone includes no CPU, so thermal output and power draw depend entirely on the specific AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor you install; the 2U form factor and front-to-rear airflow are designed to handle the thermal envelope of supported chips.
Which components must I supply before this R262-ZA0 barebone will boot?
You must provide one AMD EPYC 7002 or 7003 series processor for the SP3 socket, DDR4 3200 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules for up to 16 slots across eight channels, and 2.5" SATA, SAS or Gen4 NVMe drives for the 42 hot-swap bays.
Will my existing 2.5" SATA SSDs and SAS HDDs work in the front, rear and internal bays without adapters?
Yes, the 24 front, 8 rear and 8 internal bays all accept 2.5" SATA and SAS drives natively; the two rear U.2 bays add Gen4 NVMe support, so older SATA or SAS media slide straight into the remaining 40 bays.
