2U barebone for EPYC 9004 and 9005
The GIGABYTE R263-Z30-AAC2 is a 2U rack-mount barebone server that accepts a single AMD EPYC 9004 or 9005 series processor in an SP5 socket. It provides twelve DDR5 RDIMM slots running up to 4800 MT/s across twelve channels. No CPU or memory is installed, so the builder supplies both. Front drive bays include four bays that support Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS and eight bays for SATA or SAS drives.
Suits single-socket general-purpose deployments
This platform fits workloads that need one high-core-count processor, large memory capacity and a mix of NVMe and SAS storage in a 2U form factor. It is not for buyers who require dual-processor scaling, GPU compute density beyond the two full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 slots, or onboard networking faster than 1 Gigabit.
Verify SP5 cooler clearance and PSU rating
Confirm that your chosen EPYC cooler fits the 2U height and matches the processor cTDP of 300 W, or 400 W at 30 °C ambient. Ensure the power supply can deliver enough 12 V current for the CPU, twelve DIMMs, twelve front drives and any add-in cards. Check that M.2 2280 or 22110 modules are PCIe Gen3 x4 compatible.

Questions about this item
What CPU and memory must I supply to make this barebones server operational?
You need one AMD EPYC 9004 or 9005 series processor for the SP5 socket and up to twelve DDR5 RDIMMs running at 4800 MT/s across the 12-channel memory architecture.
Will my existing SATA or SAS drives fit the front bays alongside the four Gen4 NVMe slots?
Yes, the front panel provides four bays that accept Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS drives and eight additional bays for SATA or SAS drives, all hot-swappable in 3.5" or 2.5" form factors.
How can I confirm the system is posting and running correctly after installing components?
Watch the front-panel power LED and ID LED for normal operation, check the storage activity LED for drive access, and use the Aspeed AST2600 BMC for remote console and sensor monitoring.
