GIGABYTE R284-SF0-AAL1 barebone server 2U dual Xeon 6 32 DIMM 12 bay 4 GPU

2U dual-socket Xeon 6 barebone

The GIGABYTE R284-SF0-AAL1 is a 2U rackmount barebone designed for dual Intel Xeon 6 processors using the LGA 4710 socket. It targets organisations building general-purpose servers that need high core counts, large memory capacity and multiple GPU accelerators. The chassis arrives without CPUs, memory or storage installed, so integrators choose the exact configuration for their workload.

Passive cooling for 350 W CPUs and four GPUs

The system relies on forced-air cooling tuned for dual processors with TDPs up to 350 W each and four full-height full-length PCIe Gen5 GPUs. Eight-channel DDR5 memory runs at up to 6400 MT/s with RDIMM or 8000 MT/s with MRDIMM, generating significant heat under sustained load. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature, so acoustic output rises in dense rack rows but remains within typical data-centre limits.

Dual ROM, OCP 3.0 and split NVMe backplane

A dual ROM architecture provides firmware redundancy for unattended operation. The OCP NIC 3.0 slot adds a Gen5 x16 network interface without consuming a GPU slot. Twelve front hot-swap bays accept 3.5" or 2.5" drives and split NVMe connectivity evenly between the two CPUs, while a single internal M.2 slot connects to the first processor. Buyers who need more than four GPUs, more than twelve front drives or integrated graphics beyond the Aspeed AST2600 BMC will need a different platform.
