GIGABYTE R282-Z92 barebone server 2U 24-bay NVMe EPYC 7002/7001 dual SP3 32 DIMM 1600W

Dual EPYC 2U barebone

The GIGABYTE R282-Z92 is a 2U rackmount barebone that accepts two AMD EPYC 7002 or 7001 series processors in Socket SP3. It targets operators building dense, general-purpose servers who want to supply their own CPUs, memory and storage. Up to 64 cores and 128 threads per processor are supported with a configurable TDP up to 280W. The chassis provides 24 front hot-swap bays for 2.5-inch Gen3 NVMe drives plus two rear hot-swap bays for SATA or SAS devices.

Check CPUs memory power and bays

Verify that the chosen EPYC processors match the SP3 socket and do not exceed the 280W cTDP limit; using the M.2 slot reduces the CPU TDP ceiling to 225W. All 32 DIMM slots require registered DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules running at up to 3200 MT/s with 2DPC, subject to BIOS and QVL guidance. The single M.2 M-key slot accepts 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 cards via a PCIe Gen3 x4 link from CPU_0. Two FHHL PCIe Gen4 x8 slots are available for add-in cards, and dual 1GbE LAN ports are provided by the Intel I350-AM2 controller.

Redundant 1600W Platinum cooling

Dual 1600W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies deliver 1+1 redundancy for high-density NVMe workloads. The 2U form factor uses forced-air cooling tuned for dual high-TDP processors and 24 NVMe drives under sustained load. Acoustic output reflects rackmount server expectations rather than office-quiet operation. The Aspeed AST2500 provides basic graphics and remote management without adding significant thermal load.
