High-density 4U storage barebone
The GIGABYTE S461-3T0 is a 4U rackmount server barebone designed for storage workloads. It supports up to two 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable or Intel Xeon Scalable processors in LGA 3647 sockets. Six memory channels provide 16 DDR4 3200 DIMM slots for large capacity configurations. No CPUs, memory or drives are installed.
Suited for capacity-focused deployments
This platform suits builders who need massive hot-swap density in a single chassis. The front holds 60 x 3.5" SATA/SAS bays and the rear adds 8 x 2.5" SSD bays with hybrid U.2 and SATA/SAS support. Dual 10 Gigabit SFP+ and dual 1 Gigabit LAN ports handle high-throughput networks. Buyers who require installed processors, memory or storage out of the box should evaluate other options.
Dual-socket design drives memory and PCIe scale
Installing two processors unlocks the full 16 DIMM slots, all six memory channels and the complete set of PCIe Gen3 x16 expansion slots from CPU_1. A single-CPU configuration leaves half the memory capacity and several expansion slots unavailable. The OCP mezzanine slot reserves PCIe Gen3 x8 from CPU_0 and limits that socket to 105 W TDP when populated.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 4U chassis draw when fully populated with 60 drives and two CPUs running continuously?
The barebone includes a SAS expander with 12Gb/s transfer speed and dual 10Gb/s SFP+ plus 1Gb/s LAN ports. CPU TDP is limited to 105W if the OCP mezzanine slot is used. No system-level power figure is published.
Which components must I supply before the S461-3T0 will boot?
You must provide two LGA 3647 Xeon Scalable processors, DDR4 3200 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules for up to 16 slots across six channels, and SATA or SAS drives for the 60 front 3.5" and 8 rear 2.5" hot-swap bays.
Will my existing PCIe Gen3 x16 add-in cards work in the expansion slots alongside the dual CPU configuration?
The chassis offers four PCIe x16 Gen3 slots from CPU_1 and one PCIe x16 Gen3 slot from CPU_0, plus an optional OCP mezzanine slot from CPU_0 at Gen3 x8. Cards requiring Gen4 or higher bandwidth will run at Gen3 speeds.
