2U single-socket EPYC barebone
The GIGABYTE R262-ZA2 is a 2U rackmount barebone server designed for single AMD EPYC 7003 or 7002 series processors in an SP3 socket. It targets general-purpose data-centre workloads that require high core counts and extensive I/O within a compact chassis. Builders who need dual-socket scaling or support for newer processor generations will not find that capability here.
Thermals and power headroom
The platform supports CPUs with a configurable TDP up to 240 W and provides 16 DDR4 DIMM slots across eight memory channels. PCIe 4.0 lanes totalling 128 per socket feed the expansion slots and four hot-swappable 3.5-inch drive bays that accept NVMe, SATA or SAS media. No specific fan or acoustic figures are supplied for normal operation.
Expansion and management bundle
The barebone includes an Aspeed AST2500 baseboard management controller and dual 1 Gb/s LAN ports via an Intel I350-AM2 adapter. PCIe layout provides four full-height full-length Gen4 x16 or x8 slots, one full-height half-length Gen4 x16 slot, one full-height half-length Gen3 x16 or x8 slot, two low-profile Gen4 x8 slots, plus OCP 3.0 Gen4 x16 and OCP 2.0 Gen3 x8 mezzanine slots. A single M.2 M-key slot supports 2280 or 22110 cards. NVIDIA-Certified status and hardware root-of-trust support are validated for this configuration.

Questions about this item
How do I install the CPU in the SP3 socket and what step is commonly missed?
Align the processor with the Socket SP3 keying, lower the carrier frame, then torque the captive screws in the labelled diagonal sequence to ensure even pressure across all 64 cores.
Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?
The Aspeed AST2500 management GPU and system fans are the only active silicon shipped pre-installed; plan to swap fan modules before bearing wear affects airflow over the 240 W cTDP envelope.
What thermal limit appears first when both PCIe Gen4 x16 GPU slots run sustained compute loads?
The 240 W processor cTDP ceiling is reached before the dual-slot GPU power budget, so total platform power throttles at the CPU package limit.
