GIGABYTE R283-Z90-AAD1 barebone server dual EPYC 9004 24 DIMM 12+4 bay

Dual EPYC 9004 barebone

The Gigabyte R283-Z90-AAD1 is a 2U rack-mount barebone server designed for dual AMD EPYC 9004 series processors in SP5 sockets. It provides twenty-four DDR5 RDIMM slots supporting up to 1.5TB of ECC registered memory. Twelve front-accessible 3.5" or 2.5" drive bays and four rear bays accept Gen4 NVMe, SATA or SAS media with hot-swap capability. Dual 1GbE LAN ports and a dedicated management port handle network and out-of-band administration.

Suits compute-dense workloads

This platform suits operators who need high core counts and large memory capacity in a two-socket chassis, such as virtualisation clusters, database nodes or HPC head units. The twelve-channel memory architecture and 3D V-Cache equipped CPUs favour latency-sensitive tasks. Buyers who require single-socket economy, GPU expansion slots or higher-speed networking on board should evaluate other chassis. The barebone format also assumes the integrator will source and validate processors, memory modules and storage devices separately.

24 DIMM slots decide fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the twenty-four DDR5 RDIMM slots arranged in twelve channels per processor. If the target workload cannot utilise that memory bandwidth and capacity ceiling, a smaller configuration will be more cost-effective. Conversely, applications that scale across 1.5TB of registered ECC memory will exploit the full architecture.
