AMD EPYC 7003 dual-socket 2U barebone
The GIGABYTE R282-Z9G is a 2U rackmount server barebone that accommodates up to two AMD EPYC 7003 series processors in Socket SP3. It provides 32 DDR4 DIMM slots across eight memory channels per processor and includes a pre-installed GRAID SupremeRAID SR-1000 card for NVMe RAID. The chassis is delivered without CPUs, memory or storage.
20 front Gen4 NVMe bays plus rear SATA/SAS
This platform suits deployments that need dense, high-speed NVMe storage directly attached to the CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes and hardware-assisted RAID offload. It is not intended for builds that require GPU compute, 10 Gigabit or faster networking on the motherboard, or single-socket configurations with lower core counts.
32 DIMM slots and 20 hot-swap NVMe bays
The system comfortably handles memory capacities up to the platform maximum across all 32 slots and sustains full Gen4 NVMe performance on 20 front bays with the GRAID card managing RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10. Headroom ends when dual 225 W TDP processors are installed alongside an M.2 device, which forces a CPU power limit, or when storage needs exceed the 20 NVMe plus two rear SATA/SAS bays.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own AMD EPYC 7003 series processors for the R282-Z9G?
Yes, the barebone ships with no CPU installed; you must provide up to two Socket SP3 EPYC 7003 series processors, each limited to 225 W TDP if the M.2 slot is used.
Can I keep my existing DDR4-2933 RDIMMs and populate all 32 slots?
The board supports up to 3200 MHz with 2 DIMMs per channel per the QVL, so DDR4-2933 modules will run at their rated speed across all 32 slots.
How do I verify the GRAID SupremeRAID SR-1000 card is active after assembly?
The card presents a virtual NVMe controller to the OS; confirm it appears in the device list and that the RAID volumes you configured show healthy status in the management utility.
